Trabzonspor President Ertuğrul Doğan spoke to A Spor.
Speaking about the transfer, Doğan made flash statements about Bakasetas and former football players Nwakaeme.
HERE ARE DOĞAN’S WORDS
”WE MADE AN OFFER TO BAKASETAS”
“We made an offer to Bakasetas, but he did not accept it. From now on, we will have a new meeting, regardless of our coach’s technical decision. We have not received any offers for Bakasetas.”
“Nwakaeme is a very professional and great football player. If Abdullah Avcı wants Nwakaeme, we will go and do our best.”
“Recent transfers… Trabzonspor has to protect its brand value. As the president, I have to protect this. I said, ‘We need to get names that will be more pleasing to our fans’, and when the technical approval came, we got it.” he said.
”I WANTED IT SO MUCH BUT I COULDN’T GET IT”
“It was a transfer that I wanted very much but could not get. I cannot give a name right now because I am still trying to get it.”
“I have been living in Istanbul for 5 years, before that I was born and raised in Trabzon. Why are the stands empty? If it were me, I would have given the same reaction. I am someone who knows my city. Being president here is a very difficult job. This is how we are.”
“We know where the problems are. Fans don’t look at the background of the situation. Neither would we. However, for permanent success, the background must be strong. Trabzonspor needs to do a lot to become the champion.” said.
