Basaksehir have better players but I think that they don't have motivation anymore. They play in a club with money but without soul or supporters.

But the atmosphere for the home match in particular will be hot considering their opponent if Olympiakos doesn't mess up agains the czechs.  :smokin:
Not really, stadium will be empty, I guess.

Weird thing is we now don't have a striker as good as Kouka. We submitted an offer for him but it was rejected. Mendes is his agent.

The strikers we are left with:

Soldano - shit.
Guerrero - shit.
El Arabi - looks ok, but untested.
Hugo Cuypers - Martins didn't want him it seems.

We have a massive problem here - plus Fortounis's replacement - Valbuena is shit..

We are weaker this season than last. Only improvement is Semedo.  I don't like to say this, but PAOK have had a better transfer period than us.

They signed:

Douglas Augusto from Corinthians. Very good CM.
Stoch from Slavia. Serviceable winger who knows the club.
They also have a very useful player coming up through their youth team and straight into their main squad called Gaitanidis who is a second striker but scores every game.

Olympiacos have had a poor off season.

Your recruitment department needs a total overhaul.

You were right. Valbuena for me is the nadir of our transfer policy for the last 20 years.

He didn't even look good at Fener. At least El Arabi was banging in 2-3 goals per game in the desert.

El Arabi probably wouldn't be a bad signing.

I only saw 5 mins of him in a friendly last week - he didn't score but looked strong and determined.

He's a bit old now but he made decent numbers at Granada.

Ps : I'd thought he's 35 but I checked now and is only 32,not bad.

In Hellas, 32 is still considered a young talent...

Seriously tired of these old players..

The only interesting signing besides Semedo is the very underrated Lazar Ranđelović - he looks electric.

It has been acknowledged Valbuena cannot hold the 10 position while Fortounis is out after Plzen. We will acquire our 8th transfer of the summer to fill the position immediately.

The obvious choice is Forest's João Carvalho but there has been no mention of him since he picked up that injury.

However more likely is a player who was on loan at Fener last season, anyone know of him? Yassine Benzia. Looks like a disaster on paper.

I have feeling this will be a long season and I am not sure Martins will last till the end of it..

I don't really like Pedro Martins tbh, so there's that. Still, you have a pretty good squad for the greek league. Should be able to compete for the title.

Maybe Marinakis is waiting to see if you can get to the CL group stages to go after some bigger fish?

Maybe.  Dabo of Fiorentina is also on the list.

Good God.

Who is responsible for targeting players to sign?

These last few names look terrible.

João Carvalho would be great though. Extremely underrated talent. If you put him on Fortounis' role, he'll thrive. The Greek league suits him.
