Evaluating the agenda on the Sports Digitale YouTube channel, Şansal Büyüka spoke about Erman Toroğlu's claim that "Dursun Özbek told the TFF President, 'We have to be champions, otherwise we are finished.'" Arguing that prominent figures in the media were also aware of this information, Büyüka stated the following:
"It is the first time I have seen someone make a statement on Sunday and face an investigation the next day. I think Erman Toroğlu is telling the truth. And I know that this news was also known to some important names in the media. Most journalists have this news. I also knew about this news, but I didn't use it for fear of being denied."
"It could be the best squad in history"
Touching upon Galatasaray's squad structure during the program, Büyüka emphasized that the yellow-red team strengthened as if they had made reinforcements to many areas with the Sacha Boey move. Stating that the current group of players could be the strongest squad in Galatasaray's history, Büyüka noted the following:
"By adding Boey to its squad, Galatasaray has effectively made reinforcements to many areas. You have gained an extra player in at least 7-8 positions. Leroy Sane, Osimhen, Barış Alper Yılmaz, Noa Lang, Yunus Akgün... Such a squad is incredible. Sane is yet to return, Singo is coming into the game, İlkay is coming in, Asprilla is coming in. You say 'he is bloated' for Icardi, but the man was tearing the goalposts down. Give the 5 players I just listed to any team, and you will compete for the championship in Turkey."
