Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted December 27, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) Robinho: Former Man City forward joins Emmanuel Adebayor at Istanbul Basaksehir 18 minutes ago | European Football Former Manchester City forward Robinho has agreed to join Turkish Super Lig leaders Istanbul Basaksehir. The 34-year-old, who broke the British transfer record when joining City from Real Madrid for £32.5m in 2008, arrives from fellow Turkish club Sivasspor. He will join former City team-mate Emmanuel Adebayor at Basaksehir, plus Gael Clichy, who played at the Etihad Stadium after Robinho left in 2010. Basaksehir were knocked out of the Europa League by Burnley in August. Robinho, who began his career in his native Brazil with Santos, spent five years with AC Milan after leaving City, before playing in China for Guangzhou Evergrande and returning to his home country to join Atletico Mineiro. In November 2017, he was sentenced in his absence by an Italian court to nine years in prison after being convicted, along with five other Brazilians, of the 2013 gang rape of an Albanian woman in a Milan nightclub. Robinho, who pleaded not guilty via his lawyer during the case and subsequently published an Instagram post denying any wrongdoing, said he would contest the sentence. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46697366 Edited March 31, 2019 by CaaC - John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted April 29, 2019 Author Subscriber Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) Bloody hell, only 28 years old, R.I.P. Josef. Edit: Not sure if I should have posted this in the Super Lig - Turkey? Sural joined Alanyaspor in January Czech international striker Josef Sural has been killed after a bus carrying several of Turkish club Aytemiz Alanyaspor's players crashed. Sural, 28, died at the hospital where he and six of his team-mates were taken after a bus carrying them back from a game at Kayserispor crashed on Sunday. Seven of the Super Lig's club's players had rented the private minibus. Club chairman Hasan Cavusoglu claimed the driver of the minibus had fallen asleep at the wheel. A second on-board driver was also reportedly asleep when the accident happened around three miles from the club's home city of Alanya. On Twitter, the club posted: "We have learned with deep sorrow that Josef Sural lost his life as a result of an accident carrying seven football players from Alanyaspor." Cavusoglu said the six other players on board were not in a critical condition. Former Spurs, Cardiff and QPR defender Steven Caulker and ex-Newcastle striker Papiss Cisse play for Alanyaspor. Caulker scored in the 1-1 draw at Kayserispor but it is not yet known whether he and Cisse were among the group of players who chose to use the minibus, while the rest of the club's players and staff travelled on a team bus or on their own. Sural joined Alanyaspor from Sparta Prague in January. He made 20 appearances for his country, last featuring in their Nations League defeat by Ukraine in October. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48090099 Edited April 29, 2019 by CaaC - John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted April 29, 2019 Administrator Share Posted April 29, 2019 Shit, that's very sad and tragic . If it's true that the driver(s) fell asleep at the wheel, I can imagine there'll be very severe consequences for them. RIP Josef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking after Thursday's 6-0 home win, manager Gerrard said he wanted Candeias to "stay and fight for the shirt", but feels the player "wants to move on". The club Candeias is poised to join is reported to be Genclerbirligi and the Ibrox manager added: "I had a conversation on Wednesday with Daniel and he said he wanted to go and speak to a team in Turkey.

Administrator Stan Posted July 13, 2020 Administrator Share Posted July 13, 2020 Turkish league is made. Might pay more attention to it in future lol Just watched Konyaspor go 1-0 down to Basaksehir, go 3-1 up by half-time, get pegged back 3-3 and then score a late winner And then this is how it leaves the championship & relegation battles. Trabzonspor lost to Denizlispor too, missing out on closing the gap on 1st... Remaining fixtures: Rizespor vs Yeni Denizlispor vs Ankaragacu Basaksehir vs Kayserispor Trabzonspor vs Konyaspor Kayserispor vs Trabzonspor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
