I've put up a temporary thread title but given the interest, let's run a poll thread. Have I missed anything? Yedlin at Galatasaray: Once Upon a Bosphorus. Pass the Turkey: Yedlin at Galatasaray. It was Tyne to leave Toon: Yedlin joins Galatasaray Turkish DeLight: Yedlin at Galatasaray Still Technically in Europe: DeAndre Yedlin at Galatasaray S.K. Galatasaray Back Yedlin, Newcastle Back-Pedalin' Turnkey in Turkey: DeAndre Yedlin at Galatasaray Straight A's for DeAndre: Yedlin at Galatasaray Oh yeah, what's your middle name? DeAndre Roselle Yedlin at Galatasaray Bossing the Bosporus: DeAndre Yedlin at Galatasaray S.K. DeAndre Yedlin @ Galatasaray
Yeah but make sure it's Turkish DeLight: DeAndre Yedlin at Galatasaray, so the "De" matches the first name
@bungadiri This one is great (and popular), so worth adding to your list - works well with the name front or back: DeAndre Yedlin: Guardian of the Galatasaray, or Guardian of the Galatasaray: DeAndre Yedlin As I feel his middle name is too great to pass up, I would add it: DeAndre Roselle Yedlin: Guardian of the Galatasaray, or Guardian of the Galatasaray: DeAndre Roselle Yedlin
O/T but his mother's ancestry is Latvian right? Talk about random. Kinda wonder if they were ever interested in capping him years ago.
Wailing away on the wall on the strand: Yedlin dances to the Turkish song of Damned (in Galatasaray...) I just learned that Galatasaray own a small islet in the Bosphorus... Hope he does not get Elba-ed.
Yedlin's family didn't even find out about the Latvian passport eligibility, let alone get the passport, till long after he was cap-tied to the US.
Oh it totally did make it. I just missed it and @TimB4Last reminded me. I'm a bit slow putting the poll thread together though. Will get to it in a bit and that title will definitely be included.
Sorry about the duplicate request. My ignore list is so short it usually has no impact on how I read the threads, with today being an exception.
Here's the title poll thread: https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/pick-the-new-title-for-the-yedlin-thread.2113622/
And I'll only believe that this is a done deal when I see him take the field. Turkish teams have an amazing history of weird stuff happening during signings.
Welcome to Purgatory! DeAndre Yedlin @ Galatasaray FC Note: The old Gala stadium was, of course, the infamous Ali Sami Yen, better known as Hell. The new stadium, while trying hard to develop a similar atmosphere, has failed so far.
