Now we’re never one to spread non-stories or blatant lies on Les Rosbifs, but rumours coming out of Turkey this afternoon suggest that Sol Campbell will be on his way to join Super Lig side Ankaragücü. This would make the Portsmouth central defender, who is currently out of contract, the third Englishman to sign for the Turkish side this summer, following on from Darius Vassell and Ian Henderson.
Sources coming out of Istanbul have suggested that a ‘good’ contract offer has been given to Campbell, who in turn is mulling it over. The defender, who is also rumoured to have attracted interest from Newcastle United, Aston Villa, West Ham United, St Etienne and clubs in Greece, have struck a positive chord with Ankaragücü management, who are said to be keen to sign him at all costs. One or two sources have said it is a done deal, but my usual, reliable contact in Ankara has said that the contract has not yet been signed, despite the strong desire of the club to sign him.
What is known fact though is that Ankaragücü are looking to celebrate their centenary season by making a big splash in the transfer market as they seek to have a successful season, after recent spats with the relegation zone. Also mentioned in the correspondence I have received is former Real Madrid and Fiorentina striker Javier Portillo. Fans of the club are genuinely excited by the arrival of Vassell and Henderson, plus the potential arrival of other good players, such as Portillo and Maniche, both of whom are said to be in negotiations with the club.
Whilst not a team of ‘Galaticos’ to match the summer spending by the likes of Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, the way the Ankaragücü team is shaping up suggests a push for a Europa League place this coming season.
Campbell, who is 34 years of age, has won 73 caps for England in a career spanning 17 years. Having started out at Tottenham Hotspur, Campbell then made the decision to join arch-North London rivals Arsenal in 2001. A move to Portsmouth followed in 2006, the highlight of which was captaining the side to FA CUp Final victory over Cardiff City in 2008.
MKE Ankaragücü finished in 13th in the Süper Lig last season, narrowly avoiding relegation by one point. The previous season they finished ninth, just one place ahead of city rivals Ankaraspor. Their most notable recent success was as runners-up of the Turkish Cup in 1991. The Cup is their only notable success in their history, having won it twice in 1972 and 1981. Success in European competition has been limited, although they did record a 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid in 1999.
Tesislerde nasıl vakit geçiriyorsun?
Erhan Güven: “Tesisler gördüğüm en iyi yerlerden bir tanesi. Tam bir futbol ortamı var. Ormanın içinde ve son derece modern bir yerde kalıyoruz. Tesislerde kalmayı kendim tercih ettim, belki ileride eve çıkarım. Şu anda hayatımdan çok memnunum. Zaten günde iki idman yapıyoruz. Yapacak çok fazla bir şey de yok aslında. Dışarıya da fazla çıkmıyorum. Bir kere İsmail Köybaşı ile dışarıya yemeğe gittik hepsi o. Burada güzel vakit geçiriyorum. Tesislerde kalmaktan memnunum.”
İstanbul hayatı bir çok futbolcunun sonunu hazırladı. Seni korkuttu mu peki?
Erhan Güven: “Açıkçası çok fazla dışarıda olan birisi değilim. İdman ve ev arasında bir hayat sürüyorum genellikle. Ara sıra izinli olduğumuzda belki dışarı çıkarım ama sezon içerisinde beni neredeyse hiçbir zaman dışarıda göremezsiniz. Ben işimi yapmaya çalışıyorum. Zaten dinlenip, vakit geçirebileceğimiz zamanlarda var.”
Engin, Basketbol Federasyonu'nun resmi sitesinde yer alan açıklamasında, çok sevdiği, büyük bir camiaya geldiğini belirtti.
Efes Pilsen'nden siyah-beyazlı takıma geçen yıldız oyuncu, yeni takımının formasını giymek için büyük bir heyecan yaşadığını vurgulayarak, şunları kaydetti:
''Çok büyük bir camiaya geldiğim için mutluluk duyuyorum. Takımın da çok doğru transferler yaptığını düşünüyorum. Takımın önemli oyuncularından Haluk Yıldırım, Muratcan Güler, Cevher Özer ve Adem Ören'i kadroda tuttular. Bu oyuncuların takımda olması gerçekten önemli. Aynı zamanda uyumlu yabancı transferleri yapıldı. Sahaya çıkıp taraftarlar önünde en iyi şekilde mücadele ederek, takıma katkı sağlamak istiyorum.''
Eski takımı Efes Pilsen'deki performansını değerlendiren milli oyuncu, ''Sezon başında sakatlık yaşadım. Ameliyat olmam gerekti. Operasyon sonrasında sağlığıma kavuştum. Ancak yönetimin aldığı karar nedeniyle kadroda şans bulamadım. Bu nedenle benim açımdan geçen sezonun çok da iyi geçmediğini söyleyebilirim'' dedi.
Akdeniz Oyunları'nda da çok iyi performans sergilediklerini ve bronz madalyaya ulaştıklarını hatırlatan Engin, sözlerini şöyle tamamladı:
''İtalya'da gerçekleşen Akdeniz Oyunları'na gerçekten çok kaliteli bir kadro ile gittik. Teknik ekip ve oyuncular olarak çok iyi bir iş çıkardığımızı düşünüyorum. 2 haftalık kısa kamp döneminde madalyaya uzanmak kolay değil. Elimizden gelenin en iyisini yaptık. Final oynamamız gerekiyordu. Bu nedenle final oynayamamanın üzüntüsünü yaşıyorum. İyi bir ekiptik ve ülkemize madalya ile döndüğümüz için mutluyuz.''
