Ergin Ceyhan: Tudo Bem SC Legend

It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that I must inform you that Ergin Ceyhan has left Tudo Bem SC. The greatest person to ever play for Tudo Bem SC has returned to Turkey. It is 100% true that powerhouse Fenerbahce wanted to sign Ergin for 421.62 million Turksih Lira ($300 Million USD), but he had to return for mandatory military service. Although we never got to wish Ergin good bye, he will always be with us. Ergin epitomized a Tudo Bem player: he was talented; he was a leader; he was a team player; and he played with heart. Ergin was responsible for many of the things we are fortunate to have. Ergin was the man behind Quad United and team Turkish. His team helped make the struggling Champaign/Urbana Men's league better. Ergin and Team Turkish graced the outdoor fields of the University and CRCE. Ergin and team Turkish dominated every competition. When we go to CRCE and see a 15 team waiting list to play, remember Ergin. Usually, we're waiting that hour to play Turkey. He sparked an interest in soccer on this campus. He won the Indoor World Cup 2 times with Turkey. Many of the soccer competitions and events that we particpate in are popular know because of Ergin and Turkey. Everywhere we go, people are playing soccer. Ergin started this with his the Turkish friends. Everyone wanted to play or not play Turkey. If you were indifferent, then you were new to soccer here and you quickly became wise. Many arguments occured during Turkish games; however, as a spectator and someone fortunate to play with them, I know people weren't too kind to Turkey. Furthermore, Ergin was a fair player that never caused fights and always settled flaring tempers. Ergin always played with passion and intelligence. Despite injuries he always wanted to play and he organized pick up games. When you see his friends, Tolga, Mehmet, Okan, Hakan, Ali, Jalell, Neuman, Alp, and anyone else that has worn the Turkish Red remember that it started with the help of Ergin. This blog that we are fortunate to have and laugh at and see pictures was started by Ergin. He invited me to contribute. Ergin also had a Quad United blog. I'm sure that in Turkey, Ergin will organize and start soccer games in the military. Hopefully, we'll get a link to that site and we can see pictures of his new teammates and the soccer games. Ergin loved soccer and he shared his passion with others. Ergin made a huge impact in my life, he was a close friend of mine. I'll always remember how he invited me to play soccer and made sure others had equal priviledges in soccer at the university. I wish I can still play soccer with him, but I may never again. However, I'll never forget the memories, emotions, and words I had with him. I hope you all recognizethe impact that he has had on us and future soccer players at the university. I am proud to recognize Ergin as the first player in be inducted into the Tudo Bem SC Legends. Thank You Ergin.

Events of the January Transfer Window

IN
Investor RoMin Lwinbramovich immediately involved Tudo Bem SC in the transfer period. Christopher Cook, better known as Chefchenko, was immediately brought back to Tudo Bem. The Norwegian player enjoyed his loan period in Sweden and did not want to return. With a new hair style and in a little different shape, Chefchenko is excited to play and return to top form. However, Chefchenko has admitted it is difficult to readapt to American life. "We're in the middle of nowhere. The lifestyle over there (Sweden) is so much better. Mountains and beaches; they know how to live life." Sir Fergouwski has squashed the comments of Chefchenko, "He's having a tough time readjusting. I know he enjoyed his loan, but the player must come back and work hard for the team. It's not only about mountains and beaches, the education and football is better here. He must concentrate and he needs time." Sir Fergouwski believes Chefchenko may not be ready and at his best, however, it is believed because of their close friendship, RoMin Lwinbramovich has personally insisted Chefchenko play.
Tim Bosslet has also managed to work his way back into the squad. Personally contacted by Lwinbramovich, Bosslet has rediscovered his love for the team and game. Lwinbramovich knows Bosslet is a player that will help Tudo Bem acheive great things.

OUT
As players return to Tudo Bem, some are on their way out. As David Beckham is on his way in to America at the end of the soccer season, another British superstar is on his way out. The British sensation, Matthew Richardson has not agreed terms with Tudo Bem SC. Richardson will return to his former club Nottingham Forrest. Richardson has become a pop sensation in his stay in America. Beckham, who is a close friend of Mattie's, was full of praise of his fellow countrymen:

"Mattie is a close friend of mine. He came to America
to play soccer and played for a big team like Tudo Bem.
He really helped blokes like myself, because he paved
the way for us. I really hope to establish myself like him

and I hope to be as popular too."

The reasons for Richardson's depature are unknown, yet many rumors are circulating. Although Richardson had girls at his disposal with his British accent, he insists on returning to England. It is known Richardson is a huge Aston Villa fan, so it is believed Richardson may want to return during the summer in order to make the summer transfer window so he can play alongside new signings Carew and Young at Villa Park. Although Richardson's contract will expire soon, he is still playing for the club. Unlike Fabio Capello and Roman Calderon, RoMin Lwinbramovich and the Tudo Bem board want to play Richardson. Recently after a Madrid game, Fabio Capello was privately asked why Beckham was not playing for this team although people like Richardson, who are in a similar situation, were playing. Fabio Capello was overhead and is believe to have replied:

"Richardson is a different player than Beckham,
a much better player. If I had Richardson, I'd play
him till the minute he had to board the plane. But
Beckham, he has played before, and we lost with him,
he wasn't all that good. Mama mia, Richarson,
I wish I could have him instead of Beckham!"

Fortunately, Richardson will continue to play with Tudo Bem until his contract expires and he returns to Nottingham.
