Confirmed Signing Cenk Tosun

[evertondotcom]

They became the players they are today in Germany via German way of training/youth development. If they were schooled in Turkey they would be lucky to be 10% of what they are today seriously. Nationality tells very little part of the story.

I'm not disputing that, but Ozil himself says he's Turkish

Good job this lad we look like buying played in Germany from schoolboy days until he was 20 then mate isn't it

Yep, I think he was exactly 20 when he joined a Turkish club from E.Frankfurt.

Fair point, also considering the fact that he curses in Turkish during the games

That applies to Tosun too then, he was born in Germany, was at Franfurkts youth team and played for Germany U21's before switching to Turkey. So he's been schooled the German way too.

Yes.... but says he's Turkish! Not sure what else we can really do to clear this up.... if HE say's he's Turkish... he's Turkish!

Exactly, he was 20 years old or so when he came to Turkey. So you may expect great work ethic if nothing else (unlike the rest of us fellow Turks...)

But in footballing terms he's German, having come through the Herman system and playing for their national team

 

[Billy Dean]

He uses both his legs

 

[Toffeeslam]

And Gundogan at City

Some of these were born and raised in Germany but to Turkish parents.

Can’t really compare can we

 

[ProZ]

Looks like he takes all their penalties. We would like some goals from open play if possible.

Before stating my opinion, I'm a lifelong Beşiktaş fan (and Everton fan since 2009).

Cenk is not a bad player by any means but claiming his skills are no less than Lacazette is a bit exaggeration in my opinion. I wouldn't compare the two.

Cenk is slower and his finishing rate is not very high. He will need to be very well fed to score goals.
