The exodus continues at Ankaragucu as captain Levent Kale and Gokhan Erdogan both left the club today on free transfers. The club thanked both players and wished them all the best with their future.
Gokhan Erdogan came through the Ankaragucu youth academy and has never succeed in holding a regular place in the first team. He has been more of an impact player coming off the bench or covering for players when they are injured. He spent half a season on loan at Mersin helping them secure promotion to the Super Lig under Hakan Kutlu.
Levent Kale spent 2 seasons with the club, with the first season being very successful forming an excellent partnership with Umut Nayir and helping the club to the playoffs. Last season wasn't as successful as Levent struggled with fitness and form.
The way things are going, this season could see one of the youngest Ankaragucu teams in history an smallest squads too.
Sorry to see Levent go. He was a steadying influence on all the young guys around him, and of course, he was always a fans favourite. He always played his heart out for the Club and I wish him well in his future Club.
ReplyDeleteWe are now into July and still no sign that a benefactor has come forward. The fact that the Gokceks are silent comes as no surprise. Therefore, me thinks that it is going to be a long hard winter of discontent !!!
Infact I was expecting at least Hasan Ayar, Orhan Evci and Harun leave the club this season but we are lucky that the main frame of the team are still with us and both Management and the manager targeted to complete the season being champion ??Volkan
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm sorry to say that I don't share the optimism of the management team. I believe it will be a struggle again this season, bearing in mind that there are some really useful teams in this league.
ReplyDeleteJim Unfortunately I agree with you.
