Goztepe

[Tommy Mulgrew]

Now that Goztepe will play in the top Turkish league next season I thought we should have a thread dedicated to that club.  One of our loanees already plays in goal and excelled this season just ended and another is being talked about for next season.  The VFC thread seems to work well and has proved useful IMO and I hope this one will, too.  Goztepe has a large fan base and some of them might like to read stuff or contribute on here.

If I stroked a dog called Zog, Goztepe backwards is what someone would say.

[SotonianWill]

I don’t know whether it was the claim they were a bigger club than us or that god awful flag combining our crests, but there’s something off about them. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

I think it's fitting that the biggest club in SR's revolutionary sporting group, shines a light of hope, with their promotion to a top division, for the likes of Southampton.

The closer any club's colours are to Melchester Rovers, is also a good thing. Perhaps this could be the standard across all SR clubs?

[Challenger]

So excited by this iam going to celebrate with a kebab, a pint of Efes and Fatima from Derby Road.

[SuperSAINT]

Trounced 1st place Eyüpspor 0-3 today.

[sfc4prem]

I've been very impressed by the biggest of the Sports Republic clubs. We'll see how they fare in the top league!

[david in sweden]

Difficult to compare the Turkish League standard with anything in England, but as  everyone is employed by Sport Republic...and we will be 

without Bazunu for  at least  half of next season ....might it be the right time to get Matrusz  Lis  back to Saints and see how good he really is? 

 

Likewise ...as Trabonsor seemingly don't want to pay money for Onuachu, he could move over to Göztepe, still stay in Turkey and 

play in the top league, and it wouldn't cost SR anything. 

[Badger]

Are Saints still regarded as top on the SR pyramid?

We'll need to see after the play offs. Being top of the SR group should provide even more motivation for the team. 🙂

Hello, I waited for you to be promoted to the Premier League to write, it was more enjoyable. Next season, our entire income, excluding the money injection, will be around 10 million euros. I do not think that high-paid players like onuachu will play for us. The average football player's annual salary will be 400-500 thousand euros. Our rivals in the league receive money from the municipalities, we cannot, our rivals can pay 2-3 times more. We have such a disadvantage. They generally prefer cheap players, like Mamah, who comes from the Italian amateur league, and Dennis Junior, who has no professional career from Nigeria, and our coach is Stoilov, a good coach who has reached the UEFA quarter finals in his career. Stoilov went beyond his own playing style and played direct attack, with a 3-5-2 formation. It's the exact opposite of your style of play, there is no passing behind, all goal kicks are taken long. Most of the Göztepe transfer news published in the national media are fake, mostly true news comes from people with many followers on Twitter, for example the Reuell Walters transfer news coming from the national media is most likely a lie. More or less, there has been a mass following Southampton matches in Izmir.

Interesting news on the style of play being very different. I was expecting some player exchanges as part of their development especially considering there is one recruitment/scouting department.  Easier to identify players if all the clubs have similar way of playing.

Oyun tarzının çok farklı olduğuna dair ilginç haberler. Özellikle bir işe alım/gözcülük departmanı olduğu göz önüne alındığında, gelişimlerinin bir parçası olarak bazı oyuncu değişimlerini bekliyordum. Tüm kulüplerin benzer oyun tarzına sahip olması durumunda oyuncuları belirlemek daha kolay olur. 

If we play 3-4-3 from time to time, Samuel Amo-Ameyaw can improve on loan, of course the player may not want to come, but English players can adapt to Izmir. Cameron Jerome's jersey number is Izmir's plate code James Bree can be transferred to right-back. It's unlikely, but Ross Stewart could be loaned to help him catch up with his form.

Thanks very much for the update. Like Doctoroncall, interesting to see the different approaches.

There's an opinion that styles could be standardised to get the best out of the recruitment parameters, interchangeability across clubs, and forward planning. But that doesn't necessarily suits all leagues, or the majority of players at our clubs. There's also advantages to having a range of skills available for development. Too much focus brings in weakness.

Aligning players at different levels with clubs also at different levels is tough too. SR will want success across the group, not one club being used as a training ground for the others. Getting the best pathways for all involved is quite a challenge.

[Convict Colony]

You've got to imagine gozteppe could now be a good dumping ground for us on inflated fees (the multi club model way).

Nice location by the sea, warm etc I could see some players being ok with that.

Also dunno if anyone saw it but players and management and sporting director were all invited to wembley by dragan.

Deniz kenarında güzel konum, sıcak vs. Bazı oyuncuların bu konuda sorun yaşamadığını görebiliyordum.

Ayrıca bunu gören var mı bilmiyorum ama oyuncular, yönetim ve sportif direktör Dragan tarafından Wembley'e davet edilmişti.

Shouldn't it be a third, and third and third scarf : Saints, Goztepe, Valencienes ?

Perhaps that should only be on one side of the scarf though. The other should just have the name Rasmus Ankersen on it.

Stunning kits. Remind me again which cretin at the club is in charge of choosing our kits - need sacking asap.

I’m no shirt-wearer but can’t really see much offensive about our new kits (other than a tacky sponsor), looked ropey on that leak but OK in-the-flesh.

All about opinions…I think that Goztepe away shirt is fookin’ hideous

[Badger]

Interesting that of the  three SR clubs, the suppliers are different, Puma, Umbro and Hummel. 

Good to see some autonomy allowed between them, would have expected a single supplier to be imposed.

Absolutely, kits are open to opinion. Some people will like it, some won't. I wish people would just go with 'I don't like it' comments rather than such extreme views. i.e. wanting to sack everyone associated with it etc. It's just stripes, honestly. 

As what you've said, in my opinion I don't like that Goztepe shirt, doesn't mean everyone hates it nor that the designers at the club should be sacked off.

Stoilov also likes to transfer Brazilian and South American players, and most of the players he transferred were sold at a profit. We are a bit like the Shakhtar Lucescu era these days

Can imagine Welington going on loan as that's now 4 left backs on the books.

These sorts of signings, whilst announced by Southampton, will probably never, ever play for us. I think it's the reality of being part of a multi-club model, the 'main' club acquires the players and then the other clubs profit (At lesser leagues etc). Man City do it all the time, throw their players at Girona - then they do well there, they come back and they pocket a real profit on them when they sell them.

So I don't see these guys as Southampton players, they're a profit vehicle for the multi-club model.

City though are dealing at a different end of the market and the calibre of player they start with are always more likely to be sold on at a profit. It appears the pool we draw from are journeymen types and unlikely to be highly sought after following a year in Turkey. lis left one Turkish club and is loaned to another. I don't think there are many clubs in the bigger European leagues looking to sign him.

Of course we only need to make one real go of it to hail it a great plan
