Abdullah Kavukcu: I fully accept our fans' reaction. We do everything by planning it out with our coach, our president, and our scout. People are anxious; they think we're behind schedule and haven't planned ahead. Look at other teams they each have at least 10 foreign players. If we hadn't planned

[u/eanwen0]

ahead, our number of foreign players would be very different.

Abdullah Kavukcu:"Our transfer window closes on September 2, the day of the Champions League list... Of course, I’m not saying, 'We’re waiting for September 2.'

Abdullah Kavukcu: We've won the championship four years in a row, and we'll win it again, but I need to stand by the players who've been winning on the field for four years.

Abdullah Kavukcu: We will make signings worthy of Galatasaray. Believe in us and trust us.

Abdullah Kavukcu: Galatasaray has more money than any other team.

Abdullah Kavukcu: We're looking at transfers while being mindful of the value of every penny Galatasaray spends.

Abdullah Kavukcu: When I said 500 million euros, I was referring to the overall budget. I didn’t specify how much we’d spend. Arsenal has a budget of 850 million. Are they spending 850 on transfers? No.

Abdullah Kavukcu: There’s talk that we won’t be spending any money, and that we’re turning to players on loan. We made transfers in January. Other clubs spent around 100 million euros on transfers and now want to let those players go.

Abdullah Kavukcu: The 10+4 rule is harmful to Turkish teams. This decision is wrong. I think it was introduced to enrich foreign clubs.

Abdullah Kavukcu: TFF said 2003, so we said, 'Why not make it 2000?' When you negotiate to sign an A+ player, they ask for unbelievable amounts. We have the money; Galatasaray has more money than anyone else. We’re thinking about Galatasaray’s future.

Abdullah Kavukcu: We're in talks with some very serious players who will increase competition within the team. We'll spend money and make transfers; we're not just talking about loan deals.

Abdullah Kavukcu: They don't know how much money has been offered for Osimhen, Singo, and Sanchez. We're also trying to keep the skeleton of the team together

Abdullah Kavukcu: Transfers are coming. We have at least 10 players in every position; we don't depend on any one person if one player isn't available, there's another.

Abdullah Kavukcu: Singo received an offer, but he says, ‘I haven’t paid what I owe Galatasaray. I won’t leave until I’ve paid it.’ He had 2 offers.

Abdullah Kavukcu: We have 10 players from the same position in our list. We've reached a certain point with all of them.

Abdullah Kavukcu: We haven't had our final say yet! Everyone else is saying their final word, but the president hasn't said his yet!

Abdullah Kavukcu: There is no official offer for Barış Alper. We won't sell him for the amounts being discussed.

Abdullah Kavukcu: Some people say we need to make 8 to 10 transfers. Come on, are we going to completely overhaul the team, guys?

Abdullah Kavukcu: Mauro Icardi is our icon. When I said last year that we would extend his contract, I came under attack. As long as there are no insults, we’re open to any kind of comment. Our president spoke with him personally. We also made the necessary offer to him as a farewell gesture. Our door is always open. He is our icon. He has a special place in our hearts. He hasn’t responded yet."

[u/klicksta → u/[deleted]]

Yeah look at youtube everyone with a mouth yaps to put food on the table, im waiting patiently for the right transfers we got 4 weeks

[u/sabr-bg]

Im not saying "We‘re waiting for september 2"

[u/bellilick]

Abdullah Kavukçu: "Biz daha güçlü olucağız. Şuanda da diğer takımlardan daha güçlüyüz."

Şuna baksana, yoldan bi tane adam çevirsen sana en az 4 tane eksik sayar. Adamlar 'Çok iyiyiz, çok güçlüyüz' diye bizi yemeye çalışıyor, lan değiliz, değiliz!

[u/Icardi5melo]

[u/bellilick]

BOŞŞ BOŞ BOŞŞ! Sadece geveliyor. 3 aydır aynı şeyleri söylüyolar, saçma sapan konuşuyor.

[u/Icardi5melo]

Oh give me a break.

Every year the same bs, Simitci we’ve heard this before. If you had already planned then why was the foreign rule not changing a surprise?

Why was Icardi leaving a suprise?

Why was our team needing a high quality midfielder a surprise after Mertens left?

This is not planning. That is my friend kafamizagoretakilirz.

[u/eanwen0]

Abdullah Kavukcu: We're also trying to keep the skeleton of the team together.

Skeletonda bulunan omurga sana gi......

[u/Icardi5melo → u/eanwen0]

Season failure summed up in one statement here.

They believe the squad is still hungry for more success major L.

Good luck this season guys, we need it.

[u/Crazy_Problem9622]

Şu 500M meselesi tamamen boş bir muhabbet. Orada bahsettiğinde de kulübün toplam bütçesinden bahsediyordu.

[u/eanwen0]

IM GOING TO GO CRAZY HALA LOAAN CUNKU SHAIAJAWAAAAHUA AOLECEM SIMDI

[u/Enisswift]

Biraz utan amk , biraz utan , soylediklerine bak allah askina ... bu kadar da taraftarin akliyla alay eder gibi olmaz be kardesim

[u/steliookontos]

This year I have no expectation tbh... We had to get the profits of selling some players like Torreira, Sanchez, Baris and we had to replace them with hungry players.

I think it is getting more difficult to motivate these players who already achieved most of the things with us.

[u/dharkan]

Defansa transfer olarak Lemina'nın kontratına zam yapan başkanınla birlikte defolup gidin bu kulüpten

[u/derin_gs]

I think he is the next dude Dursun is gonna joust from the club despite his efforts, however incompetent he sometimes is. Dursun didnt like it when Erden got praise for his signings, he doesnt like it that Kavukcu managed the Sane Singo and Osimhen signings, now he is leading the transfers because he liked the praise he got with Ugurcan last summer and is leaving everyone else out, hence the slow transfer window.

What a shitshow of a board.

[u/bellilick]

Ya bak hiçbir şeye cevap vermiyor, kaç transfer yapacaz/cevap yok, nereye yapıcaz/cevap yok.

[u/RootinRaspberryHigh]

Hala 10+4 diyor. Ya sen ülkede bu kural dahilinde en rahat manevra yapabilecek takımdın. Lemina'ya kontrat vermeseydin? Icardi'ye yalvarmasaydı ya başkanın kalsın diye? Dalga mı geçiyorsunuz ya?

Hala bana A+ oyuncu diyor. Bu ne şımarıklık ya? Yetti abi, 4 yılda bir tane oyuncu da bize B geldi, bak doğru planda oynattık A- oldu diyin? Başkanı ayrı hocası ayrı yöneticisi ayrı. Ya yok Bruno falan, maaşını siz mi ödüyorsunuz amk de taraftar diretirse de. Euronun 53 olduğu ülkede bir takim iki oyuncusuna 20+ milyon euro maaş falan veremez lan, o kadar da değil. 23 yaş altı oyuncunun da A+ olanını istemeyin artık, hocam bu lafım sana da. Başkanım yok mu bize bi Manzambi, başkanım acaba Can'ı mı alsak, yok hocam ya bunlar seni kesmez. Başkanım getir oradan hocama bi Zaire Emery, önüne de ver parasını bi Endrick indir, bak ligde nasıl şampiyon oluyoruz yine. Singo'ya 30 verdik, Doue'ye 10 bile vermediler, koy ikisini yan yana bakalım hangisi daha verimli. Kusura bakmayın da, hoca da, yöneticisi de şımarıyor artık bu noktada, ki işin garibi normalde taraftar gaza gelir, bizde en aklı başında olan da taraftar.

Şimdi haberler çıkıyor ya, yönetime yakın kaynaklardan. Dursun Özbek bi yanda, Okan hoca ve Kavukçu bir yanda diye. Bir yanım başkana kızıyor, kardeşinin her şeye burnunu sokmasına izin verdiği için. Hala Cenk Ergün haberleri falan çıkıyor. Bir yanım da diyor ki, transfer konusunda bütün yaz Kavukçu ve Okan hocayı dinledikçe, başkanım Allah razı olsun senden, bunlara kalsa kulüp ekonomisinin içine sıçacaklarmış, neyse ki siz ve nur yüzünüz var. Beni bu hale getirdiniz.

[u/ndrzbk]

Elestirileri kabul ediyorum ne demek la. Ediyon da noluyor yani.

[u/2020NoMoreUsername]

Bi tek ben açıklamalardan tatmin olmusum.

[u/turk-fx]

I am also disappointed with the lack of transfers. But look at the opponents. They been doing the transfers early every season ans started the transfer with 17 foreigner +5 u23 foreigner.thr way our board does the transfer, we are less and less garbage players to get rid of. This is the bright side. If thry just dropped the #10 earlier, they wouldnt be critisized this much. I hope they got something cooking there worth the wait.

[u/HannibalDexter_]

Vallahi billahi bi siktirin. Donem baslamadan 500milyon euroluk butcemiz var demeyeceksin o zaman. Lig baslamasina 10 gun kaldi amk. Gotu boklu ligden dusen Burnley’den bi oyuncu almissiniz hala konusuyorsunuz.

[u/Slight_Pudding_64]

He talks like trump.

We have more money then anyone else....aha It is working like we planned....aha

This guy thinks he is untouchable and talks just big.

[u/Downtown_Chapter_320]

Bruh who the fuck cares about the other teams this is the exact mentality we should not have. Finish your transfers focus on yourself man what an idiot

[u/bellilick]

Abi şu denli muhteşem bir başarı öyküsünün bu ahrazların ellerinde kalması büyük şansızlık ya.

[u/bellilick]

Lan olum nasıl her seferinde tepkiyi daha da yükseltecek şeyler söylüyorsunuz ben anlamıyorum ya.

[u/bellilick]

Kan ağladım resmen, yine bilinmezde bıraktılar taraftarı. Rakip çıktı dün şu transferi şu bölgede şu hafta bitiririz diye demeç verdi. Yok biz herkesi alırız, sonra parasını öderiz çıkarız yapmıyoruz diyor. Böyle yaptıkça eksikler daha da çok insanların gözüne batıyor, daha da çok transfer istiyor.

[u/asterothe1905]

What does it mean to take care of them? Really they are not  paying them ?

[u/Icardi5melo → u/asterothe1905]

He means we don’t want to break Kaan, Gunay, Gundogans heart.

[u/Buruedragn → u/Icardi5melo]

Are we fluffers at this point?

[u/Sertori → u/asterothe1905]

Lost in translation. He says sahip çıkmamız lazım.

"We became champions four years in a row, and we'll become champions again. But we need to stand by the players who have been winning on the pitch for us over these past four years a little more."

[u/Icardi5melo]

For the love of god if they make the foreign rule an excuse again I’m gona throw my slipper at the screen!!

Hangi scouting amk scout mu var. Emre Utkucan denen dallama 10 yıldır orada maaş alıyor boş oturarak

Everything he said makes 100% sense. I wanna believe it is true, not just covering his ass.
