it's okay coz Conceiçao sucks. I haven't seen him do anything usefull for galatasaray yet. There are many gala players sitting on the bench that are much much better.

He used to be good, but after a serious of injury and he have never got his form back. Galatasaray signed him for free from Real Madrid. Isn't there something fishy? I mean who would give away a good player for free. He plays really hard for 2 games and then he is injured for 1 month. His old injury keeps coming back. But I would never replace him with Volkan. I would go with Saidou.

Yeah and Volkan is not a center midfielder, he is an attacking midfielder though and he is good at it, what is Hagi thinking somethimes? Volkan can't make accurate passes. I havn't seen Saidou play but at least Hagi can give him the chance

Galatasaray needs a playmaker immediatly ... We need a expert player who can save the game when the team goes bad ... For example Gallardo ... I think Gallardo will join us at the second half of this season probably ... In fact I hope that ... And I think Saidou must play instead of Concecaio ... Because Concecaio don't play good now for a reason ; maybe injury , maybe adaptation ... Hagi must try Saidou because he's a really good defensive midfielder and he can play vertically too fast and he can make accurate passes also ...
Galatasaray has a limited staff ... We don't have many subsitute players ... The best location is the center of defence ... Song and Tomas are successful ... They will be so good as time goes on ... But I can't say the same things for the wings of defence (Hakan Unsal and Cihan) ... They sucks ... Maybe Cihan plays good sometimes but he's not a wing defender ; he's not a wing midfielder also ... He's a center/defender midfielder and he can't make wing attacks ... I don't want to talk about Hakan Unsal because I don't like his performing and I don't want to see him in Galatasaray squad ...
Galatasaray forwards are well done ... Necati and Hakan Sukur plays very well and they are a good couple ... Also Umit Karan and the young star of Galatasaray Cafercan are good substitues ...
I think Galatasaray will be so good as time goes on ... We need a good playmaker and some other transfers for some locations ...

Hopefully. We must finish in the top 3 .... entering european competion should help us financially and the fans will be pleased.

 

[TURK_1975]

I am against signing Gallardo, he is still recovering from a serious injury. And hopefully we will finish top 2 in the league so we can enter CL next season. Basiktas is not in the compatition, our task is easier this year to finish top 2.

Trabzonspor and Fenerbahce don't look to slow down but playing matches in europe might have an effect on them, gala must capitalize on that since all we have to focus on this season is the league.

Yapma dostum , Gallardo bu ... Sakatligi iyilesecek zaten iki ay sonra ... Su an tam ihtiyacimiz olan adam ...

translation : don't say that dude , this is Gallardo ... He will recover from his injury in two months ... All we need it's a player like Gallardo now ...

Yeah I know what you are trying to say, if he will recover for good, then I want him to play for Gala, but if he will play one game and then will be injured for a month then forget it. concecao is having that right now.

Gallardo is not injury now and he started to play with River..In January Galatasaray will sign him %90..

Saidou played very well. Galatasaray remain in the 3rd spot with only 3 points behind of lucky Fenerbahce and Trabzonspor.
