Trying to complete today. Meeting President in London.

Donald Trump will not help this move go through I fear.

the problem we have is that every other club in Europe knows that prem teams are rolling in cash so they demand more money.

Besiktas President Fikret Orman: Before Everton a club from China offered 35 million Euros for Cenk Tosun. And we said no. He is very valuable player for us

we should just tell them no deal. They have a player on their hands who they've basically waved goodbye too, allowed him to get his hopes up and are now playing silly beggers! Walk away Everton.

I'm fairly sure if we tweet Donald to say that the Beskitas president has called him a fat odious turd he'll just nuke Turkey, Tosun is in London so he's safe and we just complete this on a free transfer on the basis that Turkey no longer exists.

And the rest of the players were as well, without them look how garbage they are. Although Coleman's name I would argue deserves to mentioned alongside those two, more so than Barkley in my opinion.

Coleman is great, and has been a huge miss

Haha

Still looking to blame us for this Tim, or are you - like me - getting the feeling these are trying some dirty tactics?

Don't get me wrong, we need to be much stronger with our negotiating, as we always seem to get dragged into this...

 

[Stuartisitc1878]

Go to Chelsea and make an offer for Michy Batshuayi.

 

[Michaelcoyb]

Haha

Are we still going around making shat offers, so that we can say we tried?

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Guys i see that you need a LB as well, we can fix that as well for ya...

We have one who can cross but not defend and another one who can defend but not cross.

We've already got a defender like that mate!

Not blaming us completely. Although we are very naive thinking dealing with Besiktas was going to be easy. And our lack of common sense over the last 18 months means other clubs feel they can shaft us and get way more than they otherwise could.

Personally I don't care much for the fee. If we really want him pay it. If there are doubts then move on immediately. No faffing.

 

[ToffeeDan]

Come on Chuck lad... getting Tosun them Kopites in the Mersey.

 

[ijjysmith]

Go to Chelsea and make an offer for Michy Batshuayi.

I will not.

Fikret Orman (pres. of Besiktas) commented on the transfer of Cenk to Everton.

He said Everton made an offer but nothing is finalized yet. Also he mentioned that a Chinese club bid €35m for Cenk earlier but it was not accepted because Cenk is a valuable player and his opinions matter to him (meaning Cenk didn't want to go to China). On the bright side this means EFC's offer doesn't necessarily need to be higher than 35M, but it should be close.

So knowing the pres. what I am reading from this is:

Besiktas can sell Cenk anytime for a good fee. He is in no hurry.
Cenk definitely wants to play in EPL and he prefers Everton.
EFC bid was good but not enough, it should be higher.
Walsh had a meeting with the vice pres. earlier but there was no agreement.
Reports claiming there was an agreement but then he raised the price is not true.

Also, he is set to travel to London today for further negotiations with EFC. We will see what happens but be aware because he almost always gets what he wants.

 

[Stuartisitc1878]

I will not.

oh please
