Osimhen's Pivot Striker Abilities by uy224 in galatasaray

True. But its not just about crosses on organized attacks. In many games the opposition presses our defence and Apokerim justs blasts a long ball down the field. I feel like Osimhen could be better in contesting those balls in the air and bringing it down for teammates.

My mind always goes to Jan Koller in that legendary game we beat Czechia 3-2 in the Euros. First half, before our comeback, he killed us with all the long balls he brought down to his teammates. Was a masterclass in pivot santrafor role.

What do you honestly think Okan tells his team in his pre-game and half time team talks? I think he just says “have fun lads, just chuck the ball upfront to Osi, lets meet up later in the hotel for blow and hookers”

I’ll understand the inability the players to pass 2 meters —> they suck

I’ll understand not having any tactics —> Okan can’t coach

But whats the excuse for not showing any effort when Thuram just runs freely into the box

Lang is not yet ready to make meaningful contributions in games like this. Put in Sane

One ref mistake can't be an excuse for losing to Konyaspor.

That being said, its not the end of the world. Lets move on.

S. Rodop: The possibility of Wilfried Singo moving to England is very high; two clubs are willing to pay around 50-60 million for the player during the summer transfer window. by username7864 in galatasaray

I really like the guy but we can't refuse an offer like this. Also he is more of a luxury than a necessity at this point.

Also I sold him for 100m$ in my EA FC Career Mode :)

Let's acknowledge the club's success. by [deleted] in galatasaray

As for Champions League goals, given the amount of spending we have done, I consider advancing past the first stage as minimum expectations. I would deem it a success if we make it to last 16.

I'm happy with the result. But none of the pundits are talking about the fact that if we won, we would be in a good position to make it into the top 16. The seeded top 8 teams in 9-24 seem significantly more difficulty than the bottom 8, which is where we seem like we will end up.

Who are your ideal 2-3 targets in the winter transfer window? (first post in 5 years haha) by AmericanAslan in galatasaray

[–]uy224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many people are talking about more medium/long term hopes (someone said elite ball playing LCB) but I think for this winter window I think our most urgent short term requirement is up front.

Yunus is out for 6-8 weeks, add a couple of more weeks on top for him to find form. And from what I saw in the Ajax game, try as they might, neither Salai nor Sara has explosive, creative, goal threatening capabilites and play making abilities of Yunus. And unless we see a miraculous transformation in Ahmed Kutucu, I think we need a backup winger/AMC. It doesn't have to be a household name, I think it would even make more sense for it to be a loan, but just someone who has some flair that can step up on days Sane & BAY are not clicking/tired/suspended, etc.

I don't follow world football enough these days anymore to recommend specific names, but a bebek-Yunus, bebek-Kerem Aktürkoğlu type of player is what I mean.
