Lincoln’s first season in the Turkcell Super League.

In his first season 2007/2008 Lincoln has scored 6 goals and made a few important assists. He has showed great performances in both the Turkcell Super League and the UEFA Cup. During his first season for Galatasaray he has become a favourite of the Galatasaray fans.

Lincoln and injury.

Lincoln was taken out of the seventh week game because of the fact that he had not followed the camp rules. He had brought his family and friends to training and that is not allowed. The coach was called brave by some and by others he was criticised.
Lincoln did not play many games during his first season in the Turkcell Super League because of his many injuries. He did not play in a derby in the Turkish Super Lig caused by an injury. He did, however, play in the Turkish Cup quarter final against Fenerbache, and he once again showed a great performance during the game that they
won 2-1.
