(Proof!)
Though all the excitement about the arrival of The Great Trivela has knocked out
the official Besiktas site, it's apparently posted there that
Ricky has joined the club; a Besiktas director said the fee was €7.3 million.
Turkish news reports indicate he'll be in Istanbul Friday, so we have airport!frenzy videos to look forward to. Make it so, Besiktas fans!
ETA: The site is back, clearly. Huzzah, Turkish Ricky!
