Sercan Yıldırım Extends Contract With Bursaspor

News  •  Author: Mehmet Pozam   •   Thursday, July 2, 2009 Picture

Fenerbahçe's pursuit for Bursaspor goalscorer Sercan Yıldırım seems to have come to an end. The 19-year-old striker put pen to paper this week, as he extended his contract with the Green Crocs for a further year. Bursaspor has now secured Sercan Yıldırım's rights until the end of May 2012. Despite offers from top Premiership clubs, Bursaspor manager Ertuğrul Sağlam was known to be against his departure.

After almost one month of rumours, Fenerbahçe's pursuit for Bursaspor youngster Sercan Yıldırım has now officially come to an end. The 19-year-old striker extended his contract with the Green Crocs this week, prolonging his ties with the club for a further year.

Bursaspor star Sercan Yıldırım had a shining performance in the Turkcell Süper Lig last season and had attracted the attention of major Premiership sides like Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City. Fenerbahçe had also been bidding for the 19-year-old ever since the start of the summer transfer window.

NTVSpor reported on Wednesday that Bursaspor had increased Sercan's salary and had given his family a new house. 19-year-old Yıldırım talked to the TV network about his contract extension.

"Our chairman called me and offered me a contract extension. I accepted his offer and signed a new contract that runs until the end of 2012," Sercan told NTVSpor. Bursaspor president İbrahim Yazıcı had recently vetoed Sercan's transfer to any domestic club, but stated he would be open to negotiate a transfer abroad.

Green Crocs manager Ertuğrul Sağlam had also stated that he was against Sercan Yıldırım's departure.

offff noooooooo!Agh why did gave me hope when it was all bull :@
Kozak • 00:29 • July 3, 2009
good decision.

Sercan should stay at Bursa atleast until 21.
Mavi • 00:35 • July 3, 2009
LOL and they were gloating that they received tons of offers... if they had received any offers from england he would have been gone in a second.. its all BS to raise his price up
Axessinho • 01:12 • July 3, 2009
Everybody knows that we wouldnt have played him anyway.
GFBHollanda • 02:02 • July 3, 2009
Its the best decision. If he went to fenerbahce the chance for the first 11 was small. Now he can grow quiet and easy without pressure! I see you in 2011 at fenerbahce ;)
fb_fan • 02:34 • July 3, 2009
Ze Roberto signed Hamburger!
Edisk6 • 02:53 • July 3, 2009
can we buy someone already, im sick and tired of all the gala and bjk rumors, they are so frustrating
GFBHollanda • 03:01 • July 3, 2009
I hope more turkish players will come to fenerbahce like,
hamit, nuri, gokhan inler, mesut ozil volkan sen, tuncay, ediz, eren,caner and next year sercan. We dont need foreigners.

If fenerbahce buys foreigners please buy ronaldinho with van nistelrooy and shevchenko :D
efe10 • 03:54 • July 3, 2009

---------------------------volkan--------------------------

-------------------------emre----------------------------
--------kazim---------------------------topuz----------
------------------------ozer----------------------------
--------------semih-------------guiza-------------------

------------------volkan-----------------
--Gokhan-----Onyewu----Bilica---Carlos---
-----------------Emre------------------
----Topuz--------------------Ozer or ugur
-----------------Alex-------------------
--------Semih--------------Guiza
emrahm • 08:18 • July 3, 2009
Keeper is fine, Gokhan is the man, Bilica & Onyewu MAY work i think, the only issue is that from the footage ive seen of Onyewu he seems abit shaky at times & we cant have that. We need someone confident back there. Carlos in my opinion has been a great ambassador for the club but i think he needs replacing because he can not DEFEND. Fair enough he can sprint fwd and take free kicks but the bloke is primarily a defender and he aint doing his job. Emre is a good choice, Kazim is an untapped talent (he needs to have someone show him how to channel his energy) he is kinda like a 17 yr old Cristiano Ronaldo - loads of potential but doesnt knw how to use it. Thats where Zico was so great, he had that connection. Topuz is a no brainer, Ozer is one for the future, and he im yet to be convinced of his ability. I wouldnt be starting him at Fener, as i think he will need to prove himself first. Needless to say (and ALOT of ppl may disagree)I will be starting Alex every game he is fit. First off i want to say im not being biased or anything, but this guy is like the brain of the team. When he touches the ball you get shingles. He had a bad yr last season but then again EVERYBODY did (thanks to Aragones) Semih and Guiza are nice together, especially if Guiza keeps his newfound form.

i think the areas we need to work on are Left Back & a decent Stopper. LUCAS NEILL IS AVAILABLE ON A FREE TNSFR!

*As for Onyewu, he seems quality but I still thinks he needs to prove himself. Coming from Belgium to Fener is a big diff. He's a little like Kazim in his outlook on the game.

My two cents anyway..
polat10 • 08:23 • July 3, 2009
im sure will get more defenders but for now that should be our line up and alex cmon the guy is slowing down our game and i dont blame aragones i blame the players for not even putting up a fight and what did we get without alex a win against gs and bjk at there home and when he plays a loss to bjk 4-2 in the turkish cup final alex needs to be on the bench or we need to sell him hes passes his prime
carlos3 • 08:32 • July 3, 2009
the perfect footballer of fenerbahce
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly-jKmf7lKE&feature=fvst
this guy must have been the best player in the world at some time it shows amaizng shots penalties, assists,set pieces,tricks,all his goals this guy deserves a meda lat fenerbahce for evreything because think about at the time he was too good to be true evrey year someone must have wanted him but he kept faith and has stayed for the past 6 years now asmazing
carlos3 • 08:33 • July 3, 2009
wow ugur fenerbahce scores against shaktar what a goal amaazing
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lANWW3R8YM
emrahm • 08:46 • July 3, 2009
what's the video of? I dont have youtube at work :(
emrahm • 08:46 • July 3, 2009
We need defenders!!!! And FAST!

I still maintain Alex will hold a starting place in any of Europes larger teams.
polat10 • 09:28 • July 3, 2009
the video is about alex obviously....ozer will be so much better
carlos3 • 09:59 • July 3, 2009
carlos is magestic look at this he should be a def idfielder with emre and topuz and ozer on the wings try and get vargas and he can play lb like this
-----------------------volkan----------------------------
-----gokhan-----onyewu-----bilica-------vargas-----------
--------------------r.carlos/emre------------------------
---------topuz/kazim------------------------deivid/ugur--
--------------------------alex/ozer----------------------
-----------------semih---------guiza/new striker---------
the players who are second after the dash can play the cup whilst the first before the dash play the league that way will be all fresh and will have stars all the way through and for europe we just throw all of them at them i dont care who but swap them for eachother in the second half fenerbahce are the best and polat your right i was being slefish about turkish stars and im sorry fpr that
carlos3 • 09:59 • July 3, 2009
by the way look at this video of carlos and his amazing goals
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzUoiRFiZ0c
emrahm • 10:11 • July 3, 2009
I actually kinds agree with something carlos said.. But i still dnt think Carlos is a midfielder!!!!
Everything else looks ok though.
polat10 • 10:28 • July 3, 2009
ya to bad vargas isnt coming smart guy
emrahm • 10:29 • July 3, 2009
you reckon fener will come out with a surprise transfer??
like gala did with Keita?
polat10 • 10:35 • July 3, 2009
fener never have a suprise transfer they always say there gonna get some player and SURPRISINGLY they dont
Kozak • 11:02 • July 3, 2009
efe10 how did he ruin his career??
He effectively saved his career with this contract extension..

Look at Fenerbahces history of young talented players rising..
Ilhan? Gurhan? Burak? Servet?
All were ruined by Fenerbahce.

Servet was saved by Sivas and Galatasaray.

Every time a youngster denies Fenerbahce it should be considered a blessing by god.
fb_fan • 11:13 • July 3, 2009
WOW u saw?-Ankaragucu wants Campell as a second BOMB!:D
Kozak • 11:25 • July 3, 2009
Seems like a fair enough transfer..it might happen.

Vassell was already such a shock.
onurhan • 11:31 • July 3, 2009
farr in the nexy 10years turkish footballs gna be huge
Kozak • 11:33 • July 3, 2009
its because the football clubs in turkey are generally wealthy but are very conservative..I guess last year broke the trend.

Especially Trabzonspor and Kayserispor who have started to invest a lot more into football.
fb_fan • 11:43 • July 3, 2009
yep
Kozak • 11:44 • July 3, 2009
Kayserispor are the Manchester city of turkish football lol.
fb_fan • 12:04 • July 3, 2009
:) and Sivasspor are Arsenal :)
Kozak • 12:12 • July 3, 2009
yeah they kinda are haha. Refusing to buy expensive players but then sending them off for an expensive fee.

Gaziantep would be West Ham..so much potential but no actions.

oh btw,
Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink is available for free.

I wouldn't mind seeing him in Turkey just for the commentator to struggle to say his name.
fb_fan • 12:33 • July 3, 2009
XAXA yeah its hard to pronounce
carlos3 • 13:17 • July 3, 2009
maybe emre and carlos could play together because both of them are strong both of them are amazing at shooting from long range they can pass to the wingers or strikers i think carlos in cemtral of defensive midfielder is better than him in defence we can get vargas to take carlos place in lb done maybe get i new striker or sell guiza and get two new strikers but i think guiza deserves a second chances anleka got one kezman got one deivid got one i think guizas deserves one the final part of the season he scored 7 goals in 8 games which put us in the eureopa cup so keep him one more year if he fails the second time sell him and get someone else try to please sign volkan and lugano new contracts hell yeah get onyewu and get some teenagers and give burak and deniz away and maybe give ugur or kazim to get some team experience
what do ya think?
Kozak • 14:23 • July 3, 2009
carlos should retire already. hes holding us back.
fb_fan • 15:34 • July 3, 2009

Kozak • 15:36 • July 3, 2009
and its actually 3 years with an option for another 1 :)
fb_fan • 15:59 • July 3, 2009
:D Bilica signed too!He looks like a Giant :D
JayJayOkocha • 16:36 • July 3, 2009
We should sign a foreign player.

Believe it or not, we're pretty f*cked next year if we don't do big transfers soon.

Besiktas brings in Metzelder and Ferrari. Together with Sivok and I.Toraman and the talented I.Koybasi they have a very solid defence. Not like last year. They also have keen on Saha/Pavlyuchenko and are close to bringing in Messi's old U-21 Argentinian teammate Diego Buanonotte (maybe a typo,weird name) and that kid is FIREEE.

Gala has just brought Keita in. Rijkaard thinks of playing 4-3-3 He will need to bring another foward and most likely a playmaker. If they bring in Babel they could be major force.

Sivasspor has signed some young talents, but what truely impressed me is that they signed Nigeria NT foward Omotoyossi. 23 y.o and extremly talented. The guy is a BEAST. Fener should have got him instead of trying Toni,Sercan etc

Kozak • 16:54 • July 3, 2009
Fenerbahce should remain on course. More Turks = more communication.

Thats how I feel anyway.

Besides, theres no reason to make a powerhouse team at the moment. Fenerbahce need a team to do well in Europa League (Atleast round of 16) and a team that can win super league.

When we're in champions league it will attract more players.

The reason why Besiktas and Galatasaray are signing big names is because BJK is in Champions league group stage with a capable manager and GS has Frank Riijkard.
fb_fan • 17:09 • July 3, 2009
lol Omotoyossi is good,Sivasspor made a good move with him!But i agree with Kozak:we have enough potential in our squad and overloading it with foreighners will be confusing for the language there!I mean 1 foreign will be enough i think,but who knows...

i will say it again!-last year Kazim spent his whole season on the bench and that was a mistake,cz we all know him-he is a future star,but we also know how he was smacked on the bench by DeDe...We have the stars by our side,where are we lookin at?:D

Anyway i think that the board made excellent moves so far,i believe that it will continue!
GO YILDIRIM!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTwDIkotm0U&NR=1

just a video of what a great carrer alex de souza had with fenerbahce, he is a true fenerbahce legend, even though you might/could be leaving in the next couple of years you will not be forgotten and you are my favourite fenerbahce player
carlos3 • 17:59 • July 3, 2009
damn right onurhan and by the way he aint leaving until 3-4 years because when he promises something about his contract he keeps that promise and befoe polat10 says hell be on the bench BEG!!!!!! DO YOU REALLY THINK DAUM WILL PUT HIS CAPTAIN AND STAR MAN ON THE BENCH SAME FOR CARLOS NOY TO SURE ABOUT DEIVID I HOPE HE PLAYS BUT ALEX IS GONNA GET EVREYGAME AND HE DESERVES IT
onurhan • 18:15 • July 3, 2009
yer but his contract isnt gna freeze his age, in 3 or 4 years time there is no guarentee he will still be on the pitch and if he is still playing at teh age of 35 in the first team then fener has definately had some serious problems with players, but then again i want to see him in the first team for as long as possible and to see him at his best even though he's past his prime doesnt mean its the end of his carrer of hes playing on 1 leg
Kozak • 18:19 • July 3, 2009
if you want to see a really awesome alex video watch this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wT7PaW2HME
onurhan • 18:35 • July 3, 2009
yer there can only be 1 alex, yes ozer will probably take over his spot but ozer has to proove himself to us that he is worthy of starting in the first team, a player can have an amazing season with one club then the next club he plays for is a total disaster from pressure to do well, diff team tactics, different players in the team, different coach it all matters, theres tons of footballers that have successful season/s with one club then fail to succeseed at another so i wud say start alex as centre attacking midfield for a couple of months with ozer on either wing or coming off the bench then decide what to do with the team
carlos3 • 19:45 • July 3, 2009
alex is the best fenerbahce footballer ever do you see the skills at this time he was way better than many today stars alex for 5 million dollars just 5 and gives us all of this amazing
carlos3 • 19:47 • July 3, 2009
we need to find another alex HOW ABOUT kerlon hes amazing plays for cheivo that guys a wonderkid atticking mid wonderkid surely youve heard of him
polat10 • 21:35 • July 3, 2009
past.
polat10 • 01:05 • July 4, 2009
was that alex video suppose to mean something and that he will bet better this year or just something i really needed to watch.....i can make a alex video at least 10 times better then that and if the creator of the video is a member of this site then im sorry i dont mean to make fun of you
Kozak • 05:09 • July 4, 2009
nah it was just an awesome video lol.

i doubt you could make a better video though :P That guy makes pretty awesome videos. Not part of the site though..has his own fenerbahce site.
polat10 • 05:55 • July 4, 2009
loll trust me ill go make one later on tonight and ill show you an amazing video
Kozak • 07:47 • July 4, 2009
