@Misimovic, Do not be that ignorant. Everybody clearly knew Misimovic did not play from the heart! He did not have the Galatasaray Spirit. And that is the reason we wont be seeing him!
Think before you talk!
Good thing Insua is staying!
Elveda Ali Sami Yen!

@Insua
What are you, 5? He didn’t play from the heart?! What kind of a bullshit is that now? Does Ibrahimovic play from the heart for Milan, like “he did” for Barcelona, Inter, Juventus, Ajax? He can play straight from his backbone if he want’s, as long as the job is done.
I don’t think he played for Wolfsburg “with heart” either, but that didn’t stop him to become the best Bundesliga assistent of all times.
Misimovic is a grumpy guy, he never get’s along with fans, because he’s not an attention whore, he just likes to play football and then to be left alone.
He didn’t get to have a spectacular performances in Galatasaray, that is true, but I don’t think he deserves this. If he wasn’t any better, he certainly wasn’t any worse then the rest of the team. Not to mention that I didn’t see any improvement in Galatasaray games when he was suspended for no good reason.
And, the only ignorant person here, my friend, is you. Last guy who claimed that he’s noo good, that he’s fat and arrogant, was Serbian coach Vladimir Petrovic Pizon, who ditched Misimovic from their national team, and made the biggest mistake of his life.
PS He obviously isn’t the only thing you ain’t gonna see any time soon, you already can kiss Europe goodbye next season.

@Misimovic,
What I was trying to say is that, when on the field you could see that Misimovic did not enjoy playing for Galatasaray! Dont tell me you do not have the same feeling! This was exactly the same for Elano, although his tranfer fee didnt bring anything to us! Anyways, When Misimovic was in Wolfsburg you could see that he enjoyed being there! That goes the same for Ibrahimovic,
I believe that a player has to be comfortable with his teammates the place he is in and the country, and then only the player will reveal his true potential en skills.But Hey Culio did very well, the games he played! We have to get rid of the Ayhan issue!


-



Hey guys, talking about Elano did u see he scored 2 goals for santos??wtf in 1 game


-



Misimovic is a son of a whore who think he is GOD of galatasaray. because he came from bundesliga he should automaticly play 90 minutes!! HA HA.
I’m happy that bitch leave our club. He was shit player and cost 8 million hahaha. Ayhan is better.

@Insua
Well, he just arrived, for god sakes, what is he supposed to do? Have Adnan Sezgin babies, convert to islam and bring triple crown on his third working day?
You also can’t say that he doesn’t feel comfortable with his teammates or the country/city. They get along just fine, and he said a million times that Istanbul is his favorite place and that he likes it as much as his native München, even before he came to Galata. Teammates was never his problem, they always liked him, because – when he decides to talk – he’s a great guy with a great sense of humor, and is never ever selfish on the pitch. When you see the way he thinks, and when you get hooked on his solutions and techniques, free kicks, then you simply must love him, with all his flaws.
I’m following his career since 2004, and he’s always been like this. Maybe he enjoyed it the most at Wolfsburg, but that’s only because he could find Dzeko when he bends it from his back yard – blindfolded. And how come? Very simple, Dzeko is his invention. Misimovic is the one who showed Dzeko what that big lump on his shoulders is used for. Not to mention geriatric attendant Grafite, he managed to turn him into a hero. They made some serious history, if that can’t give man a pair of wings, I don’t know what can.
Galata has only one player amongst top 15 league strikers this season – Milan Baros. That kinda speaks for itself. I will feel free to remind you that Baros picked up an injury just two games after Zvjezdan’s arrival, wich left Lions fresh out uninjured and usable strikers. And what is our “Mourinho” doing? Piling up some unknown midfielders from his native country, and knowing those relations, I’m not all that convinced that Hagi doesn’t have some kind of financial gain on those transfers.
A month after Hagi sacked him from the team, Misimovic played a friendly game against Poland with bosnian national B squad, and he was the heart and the soul as usual, assissted once and scored from penalty, and made players from bosnian Premijer league (one of the worst in Europe) look pretty damn decent, eventhough he met most of the team a day before kick off. It is pretty much impossible that he can not do the same thing with Galtasaray (or any given team), just put him on his natural position, wich nobody ever did since he came to Turkey.
He’s still this season’s fifth Bundesliga assistent, eventhough he played just half of it. Last season he created 102 goal chances, and Xavi in Barcelona’s triple crown season created 129. Don’t bloody tell me that he is not good enough for Galatasaray, he’s one of the smartest players I ever saw in my life, and is more of a player and a character (with all his grumpyness) than ten thousand ayhans will ever be.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree, but still thanks for your point of view! It seems that you know quite alot about Misimovic, He is good, He is Superb but sadly he has not been this way in Galatasaray the few games I have seen him,
As for Dzeko! I agree on that, Although he has also been succesfull with other midfielders
Oh yeah Ayhan sucks,but he has been tested to be the fittest amongst others lol

-



Actually, we do not disagree on that one, I know he wasn’t really himself in Galata, he knows it too, as he said so. I’m just saying that he deserves a chance, a proper one.
And you are welcome, I’m a journalist, people pay me to “stalk” people like him, but I’ll defend his honour free of charge whenever I can because I think he deserves it, in every way.
If you look closely, you’ll see that Dzeko is lost without Misimovic, totally and completely, eventhough he managed to score a few goals after Misimovic’s departure, but it was pure torture for everybody, including himself. Diego is a disaster for Wolfsburg as he was a disaster for Juventus, but nobody sent him off. Dzeko arrived in Wolfsburg in season 2007/2008, played 28 games and scored 8 goals. Misimovic arrived a year later, played 33 games and scored 6 goals. Dzeko played 32 games and scored 26 goals, you do the math.
Ayhan amongst the fittest?! I’d duck and cover if I were you.
