Yeah dude, that’s rough. But hey, injuries happen—best case now is to roll with Altay in goal for the opener and maybe even get a steal if Gençlerbirliği’s midfield isn’t sharp. Seen it before, new team jitters give us an edge.
Honestly, it feels like a crisis... Eğribayat had a contract with Fener until the end of the 2023‑24 season, but he was let go on a free transfer, and Gençlerbirliği picked him up for nothing. So what do the numbers say? I checked Eğribayat’s performance in the Süper Lig this season: with a 59.3% success rate per game, he conceded only 19 goals in 21 matches, making him the third‑least‑goals‑conceded keeper. But Fener’s trust in foreign goalkeepers over the last five seasons is also striking: Sapota, Rossi, Zajc… In between, Zajc barely played in 2022‑23 before leaving, and the same thing happened this time. In my opinion the real question is: when Fener invests so heavily in foreign keepers, will they base their choices on performance or on future plans?
Man, I went through the same thing, bro. I even checked the news right before the Fenerbahçe‑Samsunspor match and my heart jumped. My mood dropped instantly, honestly, because he was like the backbone of the team with both his performance and his leadership. Yet we kept seeing how much Zimbio was standing out in the first half.
But look, this could actually be a new opportunity. I think giving our young talents a chance is a good move. Sure, the sting is still fresh, but maybe those ups and downs are just part of a footballer’s nature. After a few months we’ll evaluate it with a clear head. Don’t you think so?
It’s kind of like when Gökhan Gönül left Beşiktaş for Fenerbahçe last year. The fact that he showed up in the first match already hurt our hearts a bit, let’s say. We were like “oh man, why are you leaving?” and we couldn’t believe it—same feeling we got for Eğribayat.
But look, bro, later we realized that sometimes a change can be good. I’ll never forget how Gönül turned into a star with his leadership here. If Eğribayat goes out there on the pitch for Gençlerbirliği and gives it his all, maybe one day we’ll say “why did I even run away?” As fans we just have to swallow the pain a bit and start dreaming about those future championship moments.
