The Rector of the National Defense University, Erhan Afyoncu, made a surprising statement after the Fenerbahçe-Galatasaray derby.
CALLED FOR A TRANSFER TO FENERBAHÇE
Erhan Afyoncu shared on his social media account that Fenerbahçe needs to transfer a goal-scoring player; otherwise, the championship will be in jeopardy. Afyoncu stated that the yellow-navy team should acquire forwards in the style of Alexander Sörloth and Dusan Vlahovic.
Here is Erhan Afyoncu's post:
The Galatasaray match clearly showed once again that a big team needs a great goal scorer. One of the reasons Fenerbahçe has not been able to become champions for years is the inability to find a good striker. Fenerbahçe has not been able to find a good striker who can unlock tight matches and change the game on his own since Niang.
While their rivals play with top-level strikers like Gomez, Gomis, Icardi, and Osimhen, Fenerbahçe has played with strikers like Samatta, Kemal Ademi, Allahyar, Slimani, Fernandao, and Frey. If a good goal scorer could have been acquired during the last 15 years in the winter transfer window, at least 3 championships would have been achieved. It is difficult to acquire such players during the winter transfer window. However, we have rarely witnessed any effort being made.
Fenerbahçe executives spent years hoping that the strikers they had, who were not of high quality, would eventually have a breakout season. Okay, you were mistaken in the first year. Why are you stubbornly holding on to this hope in the second year?
If Fenerbahçe wants to become champions, they need to acquire a physically strong goal scorer who can compete in the heavily fouled matches in Turkey. As a football fan, I believe the striker that needs to be acquired should be in the style of Sörloth or Vlahovic. A goal scorer is needed to carry Fenerbahçe. Otherwise, the championship will remain a dream, just like in previous years.
