Squad

Güven Yalçın damages knee ligaments — 119 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 119 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Besiktas come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Alanyaspor did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Yusuf Özdemir signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Yusuf Özdemir commits to Alanyaspor for another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Alanyaspor

Yusuf Özdemir was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Ruan falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

48 months and counting on Ianis Hagi

Still no offer on the table, and Ianis Hagi’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Squad

Güven Yalçın damages knee ligaments — 126 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 126 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Efecan Karaca has been here 12 seasons

511 appearances across 12 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Market

Alanyaspor may not be able to give Ruan what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Ruan wants continental football; whether Alanyaspor can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad

Gaïus Makouta signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Gaïus Makouta and Alanyaspor agree another 4 years.

Gaïus Makouta was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

49 months and counting on Gaïus Makouta

Still no offer on the table, and Gaïus Makouta’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.
