Jagielka was the fastest at Everton, doesn't mean anything until you're on the back foot in a game though does it

Of course not, but it it's not my point. Keane was the second fastest guy at Burnley behind Andre Gray. He's fast, especially for his size.

Think you are also being a bit harsh on Jags. There was a time when he used thatbpace pretty well.

How old was he though? Tosun is 26!

OGS was 24 when he joined United.

Why are you trying to hard to find reasons to not want this guy? Every signing is a risk, always - no matter how much the player costs or what league/club he is coming from.
Who would've thought Fernando Torres would completely flop at Chelsea despite being a proven premier league goal scorer when he joined?
Who would've thought Jelavic would have scored the amount of goals he did in his first 6 months for us?

Loads of players that do excellently for one team in the PL go on to flop at other clubs... experience in this league is absolutely no guarantee of anything.

We need a striker, we're taking a gamble on Cenk Tosun... if you want Everton to be successful then support him, if not then I don't know why you're wasting your time here.

Being fast is different for a winger on the front foot than it is for a defender on the back foot. If your a defender running forward full pelt then the man is already behind you and you done messed up already

Hey everyone! Big Besiktas Fan here.

I just read your comments and criticisms about Cenk and i would like to give you some info about Cenk's journey to Everton.
First of all, as a loyal Besiktas fan i am happy about Cenk's transfer to Everton. I am happy for Cenk, for Besiktas (for financial issues, we have financial fair play restrictions on our arses for last two years) adn for you Everton Fans. Let me explain why if you care;

Cenk Tosun came to besiktas 4 years ago as 21 years old young striker from local low profile club Gaziantepspor. At the very first year on Besiktas only good thing about him was his finishing strikes with right foot, noting else, seriously. We had Demba Ba as first team striker then another turkish guy then Cenk as third choice. He didn't mind being third. next year we had Mario Gomez as first team striker and Cenk as second striker. Cenk scored very critical goals when we run to championship. He scored heading goals which we did not see year before. After Mario Gomez we had Aboubakar as first team striker but Cenk played same amount games with Abou and scored over 20 goals. what we saw, he grew strength, and left foot. at the beginning of this year, summer time, we saw him training with personal coaches on social media while other players having vacation. and these works paid of now he can dribble, shoot over dribbling and makes assists. He is now top at his performance for Turkish league and fair enough for CL.

Why i told you these story? Because probably Cenk will join you and play rest of the season at EPL. I am not saying that he will be carrying your front line starting from first game. But i can guarantee you that he will learn how he supposed to play at EPL and train himself according to this league. then you will watch him shine as we did here. Whatever happens this season, i am sure that you will see different Cenk next year. Because that's what he is all about, hard working and improving.

İ also saw some posts that compares his goal statistics with other players. I am sure that non of you watch any Besiktas game on Turkish League. (it is logical since you have the best league in the world) Besiktas is the champion of last two years and other teams play against Besiktas in very defensive approach (like 11 man on penalty area) and they do not think about scoring goals because it is a win for them if they can get 1 point. As a quality of players, Turkish league may look not bad. but as a football mentality, we are just very bad. (pls see turkish league statistics like how much time ball played, number of fouls per games, how many times game stops, etc.) ı am just trying to say he will be better at better league.

When besiktas signs new player i am making researches like this. I hope it helps you.

Sorry for very long post..

Good post, thanks for the insight mate.

I like what I read, and look forward to booing him.
 
ALLARDYCE ON TOSUN

“I think it is personal terms is the final stage. After some long negotiation we have got to that stage now. That might happen before the cup, we might get him registered before the cup if we are lucky.

“There is a medical and all sorts to go through so that might be very tight. Securing the player is the most important thing because it has been the club’s biggest area of concern.”
 

...good pre-match conference with Allardyce (as normal). Says personal terms and a medical are still outstanding and there is a chance he could be involved tomorrow. Much will also depend on the players fitness and state of mind following the last week or so.

If Tosun had scored 31 goals in 38 appearances and we were a league winning and dominant side picking him up for £1.5m you may have a point

This season has been a depressing cacophony of misery mate

Let these people at least enjoy the sweet nectar of optimism, even if it is only due to be fleeting

You've made your point now

I'd always try to avoid knocking young Delofeu in his own thread after a certain point. Let people enjoy themselves and grumble elsewhere

I'd disagree mate

Its the over eager, over hypness of these signings that makes everyone go full blown knee jerk and is calling Jonjoe Kenny not good enough after 3 games, now calling tom davies done, even some who were saying pickford wasent that good 2/3 months ago.

Its ultimate high or unltimate low with these absolute melts, tell them to live somewere in the middle and calm down a little,
