i thought Longman impressed the MWall faithful, but to be honest that's not saying much...what happened? Can we do a swap deal for Zian Flemming, plus give them a couple of bob..23 in 92 isn't a bad outcome for a perennial struggling side.
Amedspor have just been promoted to the Turkish second division, haven’t they? Big drop down from Championship to Portuguese top flight to Turkish second division. Likewise, Traoré going there.
I thought they'd been promoted to the top league but their league structure is odd. I thought it looked like the Conference North/South separation.
I think it’s: Süper Lig TFF First League TFF Second League (split into White and Red groups of 19 teams each) The champions of both White and Red groups automatically go up to TFF First League and there’s promotion play-offs. Amedspor went up as champions in one of the groups so they’ll be in the second division next season.
Undisclosed for now but I understand in Turkey within their financial reports they have to disclose the fee. Probably around €2million but a good chunky wage off the books. If we ever get the £3million for Oscar as well as Greaves and Philogene sales we will have a big war chest (just no players!).
Amedspor seem to have had a pretty turbulent recent history. Apparently Bursaspor fans attacked Amed players and fans because Amedspor are a predominantly Kurdish backed club. The fans called for peace during the Turkish/Kurd clashes and were fined by the TFF for it. I won't list what the Bursa fans did but it wasn't nice. Doesn't seem like they are the most popular club in Turkey, but they've obviously got a bit of money if they can afford Lokilo and Traore.
