Confirmed Signing Cenk Tosun

[bag a yoko]

DCL has done great for a kid. One of the only players to keep fighting during the darkest times. Hopefully he can continue to improve with less responsibility when cenk arrives.

Is he gonna add 10 goals to the 10 that Klaasen, Gylfi and Sandro were supposedly going to get too after we sold Lukaku. This fella could start every game to the end of the season and I still expect Niasse and DCL to our score him.

It's a thankless task playing upfront with these players and these tactics, but at the end of the day look at how well Niasse did in exactly the same circumstances, utterly garbage service and he made a great assist and if Sigurdsson's control had been better he'd have made a nailed on second. And Niasse isn't even that good!

DcL needs to be utilised the same way Rooney was when he burst on the scene, carefully and in the right moments. No teenager/20 year old should have a nailed down starting position in a premier league team unless they are absolutely out of this world which none of our youngsters are. DcL will be fine once the pressure on him is eased slightly and the team develops into a more fluid outfit.

My only concern is that he lacks natural striking instinct. I'm still not sure why he turned out in the first half when he intercepted that backpass. The angle wasn't amazing but still, it was him versus the goalkeeper and he elected to run away from goal. I thought that was an extremely strange decision.

according to transfermarket.de total Besiktas players value is 114 million,evertons value is 330 million.approximately 3x.but i watched this weeks match against Bournemont they were crap.Cenk's performance is all up to other players and the team play quality.He is not a hero to save your team.u better find a better manager.dont judge Cenk if he doesnt score too much

This. Just dreadful. Hit it at the first time.

Not starting Niasse in recent games is strange too. If the manager insists on resting player then why not DCL.

Totally agree.

I thought it demonstrated a lack of awareness on where the goalkeeper was, and even a lack of awareness of where the actual goal was. A striker of more experience would have looked up whilst running to the ball where the goal and goalkeeper where in relation to where the ball was, but DcL only looked up as he reached the ball meaning he had no idea where Begovic was.

Hopefully Tosun is of much sharper thought, and can pass on some knowledge for DcL too.

Not sure if scoring instinct can pass on. DCL has none.
