ERTUĞRUL DOĞAN SPEAK | LIVE
HERE ARE DOĞAN’S STATEMENTS:
WORLD CUP QUOTES
Mr. İbrahim President and his team have accomplished a very important job. I hope we will be the last ones to return from the USA.
Fatih Tekke and his team accomplished very valuable work last season. I congratulate them.
TRANSFER WORDS
We actually wanted to complete all 12 transfers last week, but 8 were completed. Everything continues according to plan. There is nothing wrong. Our competitors have not made any transfers yet, but we have come a long way. We will make the transfer whatever Mr. Fatih Tekke and his team say. We aim to get rid of all the debt burden soon, hopefully. We have serious negotiations with 4 players. After that, we will talk to our teacher and decide.
ABOUT WING TRANSFER
We make all our transfer planning in line with the directives of our technical team. We were missing a wing player. In our conversation with our coach, we either kept Nwakaeme in the team and sent Olaigbe.
In this direction, we had worked on wing transfer. Even though we raised very serious figures (15-16 million euros), their team did not leave the players we wanted at halftime. Our plan was clear, but the quota issue left us in a difficult situation.
We completed our 8 transfers. Hopefully, we will make 4 more transfers and end this season.
“I THINK ONANA WILL STAY”
If Onana does not stay, we are considering transferring a foreign goalkeeper, but I think Onana will stay. We are ready to meet your demands. He also loves us and Trabzon very much.
“THERE ARE OFFERS FOR ONUACHU”
If onuachu doesn’t want to go, he won’t go. He received offers, but we intend to maintain the squad. Onuachu loves the city. He and his family are also very happy. There are offers coming, but he is not thinking of leaving. We are not thinking of selling either.
An offer of nearly 20 million Euros came for onuachu, but we did not give it.
ABOUT SCOUT TEAM AND TRANSFER STRATEGY
It’s my 9th year in Trabzonspor. In the last 2 years, both teams have spent incredible budgets. When we see these expenses, fans’ expectations begin to change. Our fans also want “Let the stars come, let’s reach these numbers.” However, this is not the reality of Trabzonspor. I think Trabzonspor is on the right track. You won’t hear anything like “I developed a real estate project and made a transfer” anywhere in the world. That’s not the nature of this business. Its nature is based on buying and selling players. Trabzonspor has also chosen such a path for itself. We have a significant monitoring team and follow all over the world. With this team, we are transferring players with whom everyone has a common ground.
“THERE IS AN OFFER FOR OUR 7 PLAYERS”
Competing with so many young players is not something everyone can do. Therefore, I congratulate Fatih Tekke and his team. They made a serious contribution to the development of the players. In this way, offers came for 7 of our players. We want to sell one or two players and continue to be a team that competes, develops players and makes money.
“HOW WILL WE COMPETE?”
The financial situation of the teams we are asked to compete with is clear. We have no sponsors. Our lodges are empty. Tickets are not sold. I think we were successful only in combined sales. How will we compete in this situation?
“IF THERE IS NO FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITY…”
In order to ensure the continuity of the club, the club must generate income. If there is no financial means, it is not possible to carry out this. Hopefully, if we complete our facilities within this month, we will announce a debt-free Trabzonspor as of July.
“WE ARE NOT THINKING OF SELLING”
We are currently in the process of relieving our fans’ embarrassment. There is also an offer for Folcarelli, but we do not plan to sell. What we have in mind is to be in the race for the top.
“FATİH HOCAN’S REQUEST FOR A FORWARD”
Fatih coach had a request for forward rotation. Tsygankov is one of these players. He is a player that our coach and monitoring team like. We want to get your transfer fee. If we don’t get it, we have a plan B.
“OUR TARGET PLAN”
Our goal is for players to see this as a place for development. We want to show past examples to the players we will transfer and be known as a place where they can jump to bigger leagues.
“THERE ARE SERIOUS OFFERS”
There are serious offers from Felipe Augusto and Christ Oulai. We are evaluating these. If we can send such players to the big leagues after letting them play for a year, this will be more valuable than money. This is important as a reference by showing such examples to the new players we will transfer.
“OULAI DID NOT RECEIVE AN OFFER FROM G.SARAY”
Galatasaray was interested in Oulai during the break, but we have not received a new offer yet. Anyway, Oulai’s goal is not to stay in Türkiye. He wants to go to bigger leagues in the future.
“ARAL ŞİMŞİR IS NOT AN ACTOR WE LIKE”
We have never been interested in Aral Şimşir. He is not a player that our scouting team likes.
WHY DID ZUBKOV LEAVE?
Staying in this city is not like standing in Istanbul. For this reason, it is not beneficial for us if a player who does not want this place comes to Trabzon. Zubkov wanted to leave due to his family situation. We did not insist, we helped.
