Hatayspor are going to be in a relegation fight and could end up on the losing end. Game ended 3-0 against and the little bits I have seen, they don't look great.

They were fighting for the title two years ago, mid table last year, and are now relegation contenders. They kept losing pieces each season. The season Larin almost won golden boot was the year their striker led the league. WestHamCanadianinOxford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king1010 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Christian Atsu is on Hatayspor now. They had two goals called back because of VAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got pulled at half losing 0-2, (0-4 full time) four games ago. They have won the last two with him just getting 4' in one. Subbed on at half. His team losing 2-0 again. I assume they aren't playing him just to make sure he is fresh for Qatar and has a chip on his shoulder so he kills it in the World Cup and his value rises. All part of their plan.

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Half watching his team v. Beskitas. The latter's new recruits (included a West Ham player on loan and Delle Ali) looking good and have been dominant. A good cross by Adekugbe wasted, though. edit: Hatayspor much better in second, have leveled the match at 1-1. edit2: Kanak the player that has been taking Sam's spot comes on and score the winner. 2-1 the final. Sam going 90'. (The commentator, an American Bein one, is doing my head in trying to over pronounce everything correctly but mostly just Spanishish. I think he was one that was doing the Argentina - Jamaica game at the international break and could not understand that Michail Antonio is English - really - and pronounces his name accordingly.)

Obinna Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) Any transfer rumours for Adekugbe? Strange it has been quite around him. He played in 3 matches (only started 1), but he was pretty decent (as always) and he's played a hell of a lot more than Waterman and Cornelius, both of which have transfer rumours around them, despite not playing a single minute. Johnston, Kone, Miller, Waterman, Cornelius....they are (or were) all owned by MLS clubs. Is that the common demonanator? Are scouts targeting players specifically because they are contracted to MLS clubs? Can't help but wonder....

I would think that any player subject to the European transfer window (like Adekugbe) would have far fewer rumours swirling than the MLS guys who can complete transfers now. No point advertising interest in a player when they can't actually sign for another 3 weeks. That would just help the competition and potentially drive up the price. Hopefully chatter picks up in January. The Beaver 2.0, Jack1997, Obinna and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was one of the quiet stars of our qualifying campaign - with a goal against the US in one of the highest profile games of the series.

We'll see if the chatter picks up in January. Hopefully it does. I think Sam deserves another move up the ladder. Bigger clubs in Turkey, or possibly teams in the Bundesliga, should be taking notice. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's why I imagine a small step up the ladder, such as a better club within Turkey for instance. I rate Waterman, but I cannot imagine a world where Fenerbahce and Besiktas are interested in 26 y.o. Joel Waterman, but are not interested in 27 y.o. Adekugbe, who they've been able to see up close for a season and a half now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adekugbe, who they've been able to see up close for a season and a half now. I find the interest in Waterman kind of odd too, but age affects people/positions differently. You see CBs playing a lot later than a LB most of the time because there’s less reliance on speed, which obviously is one of the main things you start to lose as you age. I do agree though that Sam probably deserves a move up still, he still has a few good years ahead of him. Obinna and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InglewoodJack Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Yeah, I've been surprised for like the last year that there hasn't been a single Adekugbe rumor. Feel like he's our most underrated player- he's so good for Canada. I haven't watched so much Hatayspor, but what I've seen, he's good for them too. Not expecting a massive transfer or whatever, but he should be good enough for a Turkish giant or something. His speed and agility would look awesome in Belgium too.

Unnamed Trialist Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Adekugbe and Hatayspor are having a worse league year than last. That could affect things. Also, not sure when his contract is to, maybe after this season the offers will come. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beaver 2.0 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Sam was certainly one of our brighter lights during WCQ. He and Staq were probably our most consistently good players. Like real good. I hope he gets a move to a better side, better league. costarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like that’s surely low enough for a team to take a flyer on and Hatayspor who isn’t going anywhere, to accept? I dunno, if Joel Waterman is getting attention, crazy that Sam isn’t.

Kent Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Just a reminder that Adekugbe created the only goal Morocco has given up in the World Cup through their first 5 games so far (including the shootout vs Spain!!).
