Confirmed Signing Cenk Tosun

[PeregrineT]

Considering that A. It was previously reported he wanted 100k per week, and B. It was previously reported the deal was 95k plus 15k in incentives, maybe dont believe things people are writing because its all made up and its amazing you all fall for it until its actually done and someone who knows actually posts it.

Seriously, its like people forget the first 1000 tweets that were wrong, but the 1001st one has to be true. It just does.

lol at how quickly we sell players, and how slowly we sign them

Every window that goes by we get a stench of Portsmouth/Leeds about us.

Don't forget QPR....

a full day of negotiating personal terms when everyone knows we could of done with him, even for 20mins tonight. he would have been an unknown entity and could have affected the game.

but oh no, we are probly arguing over a grand here or there.

Rather get the contract that he's signing for the next four and a half years right over trying to rush it through in time to play a probably inconsequential bit part in one game most people think we're going to lose anyway....

You're surprised?

Sam said this yesterday didn't he?

“It is just personal terms now, the final stage,” Allardyce said on Thursday. “After long negotiations we are nearly there. He might even be registered before the FA Cup but securing the player is the most important thing because a lack of goals has been our biggest area of concern, and before I got here. With his pedigree and his age – we’ve not got many players in that elite age group in our squad – hopefully he will show he is good value for money.

I think the key part is what I've highlighted.

BFS also already talked about making sure he was physically ready for the game. As he's already had his medical, maybe they decided that wasn't the case, so no point rushing through the negotiations.

How so?

The unproven or well past it nonsense we're bringing in at a daft fee and ridiculous wages.

Smacks of desperation handing this guy 125k p/w, he might well turn out to be bang average or worse. Turks never do well in the Prem, from my memory anyway.

hopefully this one will make people sit up and take notice.

we got that £13.5m loan a couple weeks back ... for what we said??

well weve sold barkley for £15m and we now see we needed the £13.5m to make up the tosun shortfall.

the only other business we will be doing is player loans, just like with enner valencia

Errrm mate, you do realise transfers aren't paid in one go don't you?

We've likely only paid about 6-7m max up front

Sheffield Wednesday aren't we?!

Actually no. They had Carbone and Di Canio for a bit. I'd kill for them right now.

 

[ijjysmith]

How the heck would they know that?!

Reckon they might be a bit past it mate.

contract dave faxed it to the wrong number after getting a digit mixed up

 

[ijjysmith]

Reckon they might be a bit past it mate.

Better than most of our players even now.
