No they didn't, but it's their job to inform the manager of any approach for a player, the manager will then make his opinion known
Eyüpspor are having a really good season for a newly-promoted team. Currently fourth in the table and unbeaten in the last five. Could qualify for Europe.
Yeah, they have a relatively old squad, with ex-Fener/Gala/Besiktas players, managed by Arda Turan, mostly a miracle of coach so far. They are in financial troubles though, sold Ahmed Kutucu to cover debt and GK Berke is also on market (rumored to sign Gala in summer), so I wouldn't expect too much fee from them, they will likely cover wages of Abdus only. Caykur Rizespor on the other hand can do anything, we might get transfer fee there, their main source of income government backed companies, sports minister was a director of club, for example name sponsor Caykur is a government owned tea producer. Looking good in this case, only problem, they are direct rival of Trabzon (neighbor city), where Abdus is born and fan of.
Not that many I don't think? Tufan made 79 apps for us and scored 16 goals before returning for family reasons. Allahyar didn't go back to Turkey. Tetteh didn't go back to Turkey. Oscar didn't go back to Turkey. Pelkas was a loan. Lincoln is a loan. Sinik is currently still ours and has been for what seems like forever despite a past loan back to Turkey. Ömür and Traoré look the most likely to fit the bill, but as of right now Ömür's still here so the only one I can think of to come from Turkey and go back fairly quickly is Traoré. Even then, wasn't he with us for two full seasons, albeit often injured? I remember he looked a world beater at the end of his first season when he came back from injury.
Mostly decent players who we just never seemed to get the best out of, Tufan excepted. Injuries counted for a lot, Lincoln we haven't seen yet, Pelkas was disappointing and Sinik, well, who knows?
I think they could have said no to Plymouth without needing Selles to sign off on it. If Selles had said "Yeah go for it" would they have loaned him to Plymouth? I don't think so...
I really want Omur to succeed here. Potential to be the best player we’ve ever had. Remember how good he was last season, he can definitely cut it. **** knows what’s been up with him this season though, totally different player.
I noticed they signed an ex-Trabzonspor player in Toköz. Speaking of ex-Trabzonspor players, Berat Özdemir has had a funny career path. We tried to sign him summer 2022 but Trabzonspor wouldn’t sanction him going, then later in the window they sold him to a club in Saudi Arabia, he spent one year there then was loaned back to Trabzonspor last season and has been loaned out again this season to Başakşehir.
