Besiktas are planning to send some players out at the start of the new year. Ailton, Pancu and Youla will probably be shown the door. Adem Dursun also stated that he wants to quit because of the supporters' reactions against him. Tumer wants to go to France, England or Germany.

Manager Tigana is looking for some new names for his team and told the board not to sell any players before asking him. Some Besiktas players started to take offers after the club said they'll make some changes in the squad. Okan Koc couldn't get a chance for two seasons and he was relegated to the reserve team by the directors. The former Gencler player won't get his money as after a long time the young player terminated his contract yesterday and will sign a new contract with Galatasaray on Monday. Time will show whether Okan Koc can perform well in Gala after two disappointing seasons in his Besiktas career. The young player was in top 20 youngsters of Europe in his Genclerbirligi career while playing with Ahmed Hassan and El Saka.

Premier League teams are behind the best name of Besiktas, Ibrahim Toraman, but the club seems unwilling to let the player go. Toraman and Ibrahim Akin are the only shining players of the team and the club is looking to add better names near them.


On the other side, there were some speculations about the Egyptian player Ahmed Hassan. Vestel Manisa and Glasgow Rangers had interest in the Pharaoh but Ahmed Hassan made a press statement today via his agent. Hassan said that he doesn't want to leave the club in the middle of the season and all the news about his transfer are wrong.

Hassan's agent Gokdemir added that his player is happy at Besiktas and has not got a problem with anyone at the club. Hassan wants to stay until the end of the season unless the club has objection about his plan.

Ahmed Hassan had told EP in the past that he'll stay at Besiktas until the end of the contract and may go to Zamalek or Ahly next season. But the other clubs' interests in Hassan may stop his departure to Egypt for a time.

Besiktas have one target in the second half. It is the Fortis Turkey Cup. The club has to win the cup to apologise to their supporters.
