Genzlerbirligi have signed defender Risp from Göteborg and Jardler from Helsingborg and, if I understand the homepage corretly, Bayram Toysal from Sebatsspor, Hasan Ugur from Konyaspor and Tolga Dogantez. I wish Genzlerbirligi and the swedish players good luck! I wish all turkish teams should have a english version of their homepages, I dont understand many turkish words. And, do anyone know when the next season starts? And with which matches? (My english is not perfect either...)

Yes!! The fixture for the season 2005/2006 is now released. First round looks like this: Denizlispor - Ankaraspor Diyarbakirspor - Rizespor Erciyesspor - Besiktas Galatasaray - Konyaspor Genclerbirligi - Fenerbache Samsunspor - Gaziantespor Sivasspor - Malatayspor Trabzonspor - Kayserispor Manisaspor - Ankaragügü... and will be played 5-7/8. And what can we say about this? Well, Denizlispor, Besiktas, Galatasaray, Trabzonspor are the winners in this first round. Fenerbahce? I think they get a little problem here in the first match against Genclerbirligi. And the new teams? I think that Manisaspor have a great chans to take three points against Ankaragücü. Erciyesspor will have big problems when they will be visited by Besiktas. I hope someone start a new tread so that we can follow and comment every round in the Süper Ligi!
Looks like you are right Bull about Pires move to Galatasaray : http://www.football.co.uk/news/story_12747.shtml . Gala will be a very strong team this season!
Galatasaray chase Pires July 7, 2005 ISTANBUL (AFP) - Turkish club Galatasaray have reportedly made Arsenal's France winger Robert Pires an 8 million euro offer spread over three years. Pires, who has a year left on his contract with the London club, could be leaving Arsenal because he wants a new two-year deal but the English Premiership side will only offer 12-month contracts to players over 30. And Arsenal would rather sell the 32-year-old now rather than allowing him to leave as a free agent in a year's time. Galatasaray were reported to have offered Pires a three-year deal worth 2.75 million euros a year. Galatasary were also said to be chasing Feyenoord's Belgium striker Bart Goor.

Aiming high "I am very happy to be part of a great club like Galatasaray," said Ilic. "I know Galatasaray very well. I will do my best to help the team win the championship this season." The Istanbul side enter the UEFA Cup in September's first round, while Partizan are nearing the start of their UEFA Champions League challenge, beginning in the second qualifying round.
