COULD BESIKTAS GET ALTIDORE?




If you ask me , I really don't think so....

But, Villarreal team is desperate to sell Jozy Altidore...

Because, Altidore does not fit to their game plans..

There are two teams wants Altidore..

Besiktas and Ajax!

Besiktas wants to loan Jozy Altidore and Villarreal team wants to sell him!

According to reports, who ever comes up with 5 or 6 million Euros, will get American striker Jozy Altidore....

Besiktas needs a striker like him but, I don't know if Besiktas has the cash, after spending so much money, so far in the transfer season!

He would really click with his former team mate Nihat Kahveci in Besiktas uniform..

The ball is once again in Besiktas CEO, Yildirim Demiroren's corner...

Is he willing the spend the money on powefull striker from United States?

We shall see!

Lorik Cana has made a surprise move to Galatasaray from Sunderland



Galatasaray finally broke the silence in foreign transfer market.

They signed The 26-year-old Albania international and Sunderland skipper Lorik Cana following the Black Cats' decision to accept a bid of in excess of 6 million euros for his services.

In one year, Sunderland ,pocketed one milion euro from Cana's back!

Cana joined Sunderland in a £5million switch from Marseille last summer and was an instant hit as his robust style of play endeared him to the club's fans.

Cana said: "I have been offered the opportunity to play in European competition and the Champions League, and especially to be closer to my family. This was not an easy decision for me though and I hope people understand."

Cana joined Sunderland in a £5million switch from Marseille last summer and was an instant hit as his robust style of play endeared him to the club's fans.

He made 35 appearances last season, two of them as a substitute, although he was sent off once and picked up 10 bookings along the way, which was a concern for Sunderland manager Steve Bruce.

He missed his family......

Bruce said: "Lorik's style of play and attitude made him a natural choice as captain last season, but when he came back for pre-season training, it was apparent that he had a desire to return to Europe. Turkey is nearer to Albania, where his family and roots are, and it is much easier for him to see them on a more regular basis - I think this was a major factor for him.
"We thank Lorik for his time here and wish him the best of luck for the future."
