It looks like he just posted a cool picture. It doesn't even say Besiktas. Sure, it may be an alternate spelling, but if you are buying a personalised plate for your 2016 BMW MR4 two-door convertible, and you're a Besiktas fan, you'd probably spell it the standard way? That's a quick car BTW. Edited March 16, 2022 by Unnamed Trialist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianSoccerFan Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I don't agree with posting a paywalled article where Josh Kloke clearly put a ton of effort into it. I will leave it at that. At least give him the clicks or the free trial. HochelagaFC, Floortom, Onelessstar and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Talking about these aged players, watching Joaquín, turning 41 this July, running through defenders and scoring a penalty in the Spanish Cup final. He's amazingly fit, fast, lithe, and a wing attacker risking tackles his entire career. He could go with Spain to Qatar, but I think they won't call him, Atiba will likely be the oldest there.

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Update! - Beşiktaş are currently in 7th place with 4 matches left in the season. They cannot finish top 3. If they finish the season strongly they could get a Europa Conference League berth but Champions League and Europa League are out of reach. (At least they know they can't get relegated!) - The new head coach Valérien Ismaël took over about a month ago and he clearly doesn't rate Atiba. The rumour is that despite plenty of love from the club's management and ownership, Ismaël does not wish to extend Atiba's contract saying that there is no place for sentimentalism in football. https://www.fotospor.com/amp/haber-besiktas-ismaelden-can-acitan-atiba-cikisi-karari-belli-oldu-501105 JamboAl, johnyb and Kent 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Marc Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Ismael’s style, at least at Barnsley and WBA, was very direct, all press and run. I don’t think that’s for Atiba at this age. Floortom, JamboAl and Nate3322 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footballfreak Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 MLS is not ideal for old legs. Lots of travel, physical league, etc. Plus the schedule doesn’t do him any favours as prep for the World Cup. Wouldn’t be surprised if he tries to find a spot somewhere else in Turkey for a year. Would Hatayspor be interested if Adekugbe put in a good word? Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 Maybe the Qatari league makes the most sense. He'll get acclimatized to the conditions, there's very little travel, and the level of play should be good enough to keep him fit and ready to go. Obviously players going there to play right before they retire is nothing new, and he could perhaps make some very good money while doing so. Probably makes more sense than MLS despite the sentimental value of him going to TFC. The Real Marc, lowlander, Stryker911 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pod818 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Beautiful Assist today from Atiba and he started as well. Hope this gets him more playing time with the new coach Kadenge, johnyb, JamboAl and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PegCityCam Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) Also had an assist on the first goal. Headed (flicked?) on a corner to Serdur who headed it in at the far post. Looks like Cyle had a number of chances as well. Hopefully a positive end to the season is still a possibility.
