Hasan Şaş made a transfer call to the Galatasaray management, saying, "Just get him, that's all I ask." Arguing that the transfer of Lookman would increase competition, Şaş criticized the forward rotation by stating, "If Icardi gets injured, you have no striker," and emphasized that at least three solid strikers are needed. He also mentioned that Davinson Sanchez is inadequate in one-on-one defense.
While the transfer agenda of Galatasaray continues to be discussed, Hasan Şaş made a striking statement. In his evaluation on the SporON YouTube channel, Şaş emphasized that the yellow-reds need depth in their squad and competition, sending a clear message to the management: "Buy. Get a player... Just make sure to buy."
LOOKMAN EMPHASIS: IF HE COMES, EVERYONE'S FORM CHANGES
Hasan Şaş highlighted the importance of competition through Ademola Lookman, who is on Galatasaray's agenda. Şaş stated, "If Lookman comes, I swear the players' forms will change. Even if he is on the bench, those on the field will know he is on the bench," arguing that the transfer would increase motivation within the team.
COMPETITION INCREASES WITH THE STRESS OF "IF I LOSE MY JERSEY"
Şaş noted that players in big teams need to be under constant pressure and competition, expressing that the players on the field feeling the anxiety of "What if I lose my jersey" would elevate their performance. Giving an example from the defense line, Şaş said, "Sanchez will think, 'If I play badly, there is a player waiting here.'
"IF ICARDI GETS INJURED, YOU HAVE NO STRIKER"
One of Hasan Şaş's clearest criticisms was about the striker rotation. Şaş pointed out the fragility of the squad in this area by saying, "If Icardi gets injured, you have no striker." He mentioned that Galatasaray has become overly dependent on Icardi, whose form has been criticized.
“THERE SHOULD BE AT LEAST 3 SOLID STRIKERS”
Şaş emphasized that a striker rotation in a big team cannot function with just two players, stating, "You should have at least 3 solid strikers." He expressed that transfers that would challenge the starting eleven and increase competition are essential.
“BUY... FOR THE CENTER-BACK, FOR THE NUMBER 8 TOO”
At the end of his remarks, Şaş listed the need for transfers position by position: "Buy for the center-back, buy for the libero, buy for the number 8, buy for the wing, buy for the striker... Buy. Just make sure to buy." He argued that the management needs to make comprehensive moves.
SANCHEZ CRITICISM: NOT GOOD IN ONE-ON-ONE
Addressing the defensive performance, Hasan Şaş criticized Davinson Sanchez by saying, "He is not good in one-on-one... He is not tough, he is not a leader. Sanchez needs to be a leader from the back."
