No delight here: Tyler Boyd loaned to Sivasspor from Besiktas

Boswell played in Turkey?

 

Kind of.

He went over there after the 2008 MLS season... He wanted to make the jump overseas and catch BB's eye in the run up to the 2010 world cup but It didn't work out and he re-signed with the Dynamo later that off-season.

Some interesting notes from this article.

And here is the big problem with New Zealand

 

I will say the second division Adana derby reminded me of being caught in the middle of political unrest and riots.

 

That's appalling.

How are they not even scheduling friendlies?

 

At least they still have Chris Wood.

 

Istanbul Basaksehir, who finished 2nd in the Turkish Super Lig and earned a spot in the UCL third qualifying round, are reportedly about to make an offer.

I hope that this falls through. Going to play for Erdogan's club seems like a bad idea.

 

I had no idea what was going on with this club until I heard a long story on them on BBC radio earlier this week. They couldn't find any actual fans of the team that would talk to them for the story, and an interviewed sports economist estimated that they were getting at least $75 million/year off the books from sketchy government money and Erdogan cronies.

Seems like a risky career move for Boyd as this team seems like they could completely disintegrate if Erdogan's political fortunes shift or he decides propping them up doesn't serve his interests anymore.

 

Announced average attendance this season was a shade over 4,000, good for 17th (of 18) in the league.

You have a link to that BBC story? I'd be interested in listening.

I was listening in an Uber on the way back from the airport, so I'm not sure about the exact program it was.

 

Turkish outlet, A Spor, is reporting that Fenerbahce is in for Tyler Boyd.

Nope. Still a rumor.

Score a few goals and clubs wanna toast you there. Not too shabby so long as they pay you on time

 

It's almost like @bshredder knew something...

 

You think he might be related to Brian Sciaretta?

 

Nah, no way...
