Concerning the new transfers, Mr. Behçet Ümitlen acknowledged his thoughts on the matter: ‘‘we are extremely pleased to see two experienced national team players among us.

That’s the main reason why I came here. I hope this transfer will be beneficial both for me and for my new community.’’
"I AM PEACEFUL AT BEŞİKTAŞ"
Our National Team Captain Rüştü added:  "I am quite peaceful and happy here. I will work hard to deserve this jersey. I would like to thank to all those who made my transfer possible. I came to Beşiktaş as person who still has lots of unfinished goals. I told them that I would be truly honored to play for such a great community. They told me what they expected of me and I made the deal wholeheartedly. Having a peaceful environment is very important. I came here in search of peace and I knew I would find it here. Our objective is to undersign significant and lasting achievements. I came here because I still have dreams to realize. I have no doubt that I will reach them here.''
"I DIDN’T COME HERE FOR MONEY"
Stating that he didn’t come to Beşiktaş for money, Rüştü continued: ‘‘I can assure you that I didn’t come here for money. All my past and present managers can tell you that money has never been an object in my career. I came here because I still feel powerful. I know I will never regret my decision for being here.’’ 
“I KNOW BEŞİKTAŞ FANS WELL"
Reminding us that he already knows the great Beşiktaş fans very well, Rüştü concluded his words by saying: ‘I am person who knows the unique nature of Beşiktaş fans. Everybody knows the features of a great team.  When a player gets transferred from a popular team to another great team there will always be some cracked voices. But they will never affect my performance on and off the field. I have always been a person who serves his flag.  I don’t think I will face any difficulties in my new club. I came here with my honor. As you will all recall, the National Team players were appreciated everywhere in Turkey after our 2002 World Cup third place finish. I tasted this love in front Beşiktaş Fans at İnönü Stadium for the first time. I know I will be subject to that kind love quite often. ’’

Emphasizing the fact that he has already played for the 3 most popular teams of Turkey Mehmet Yozgatlı said: ‘I am thrilled to be here. I played for all 3 big teams and I was successful in most of them. I think I made a part of history. However, it is important that I play extremely well at Beşiktaş this year because I want to get selected for the National Team. I will work hard in trainings and deserve my jersey.’’
