Confirmed Signing Cenk Tosun

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

It's been so long...where does a striker play?

In goal I think...

 

[royalblue66]

I do mate, sadly. See Klaassen thread for greater prescience.

Think that was down to Koeman.

 

[Smodger]

Sandro & Klaassen mark 2

How do you Know?

 

[orly]

You're objection to this deal is noted. Should he end up being Toss(un) then you'll win a lovely prize

In the meantime, hows about you stop harshing peoples buzz eh pal?

Let them dream

I'm helping these frandels avoid the Klaassen disappointment that took many until mid-October to realise what they were being told in June / July.

It's a public service.

 

[Nymzee]

by that point it will be too late. If the club takes the credit card away from Stopover Steve now, we can use that £27m in a better fashion.

Where would you spend the £27m?

 

[orly]

Scored the same number of goals as Tosun in the league. Ryan Babel has only scored one less than Tosun playing for the same team as him. Tells you all you need to know about the standard of the league and why we should be swerving this guy.

Spot on, this

 

[Smodger]

Starting to look that way already isn't it.

Why?

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Let's give him at least an extended run of games, eh lads?

Besiktas chairman:

“The era of buy, buy, buy is over. This is the era of buy, add value and sell.”

Well good to see someone has an idea of what they’re supposed to be doing.

same amount of goals in a worse team

Joshua King outscored Coutinho, Mane, Vardy and Giroud last season and scored the same amount as Hazard. Doesn't make him a better player.

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

They may not want to sell Tierney mate, but this is a club who sold McGeqady when they recieved the first really big offer on him, another player home-grown who was as popular as Tierney is with fans. In fact i can't recall Celtic ever turning down what would be for them a large bid at the time - Wanyama -13m? VVD -12m? and so on, always with add-ons and very rarely it requires the buying club to be an elite level one, if ever in fact.

Scale that kind of fee up the way the market has gone, and you'd get them wanting to sell for anything north of 30m+, would the player want to move would be another matter, but higher profile league, testing himself against the best rather than part time farmers, and the small matter of him probably going form 15k pw to 100k pw

Yeah I remember when VVD was suggested before he went to Southampton. This forum went into a melt down about buying players from such a weak league. There is world of vaulting that could be done on him...

Truth is some players will thrive with more challenge, some players will get found out quickly. Cenk is a gamble, but options are low on the ground.

Where would you spend the £27m?

Me personally? 10 bedroom house with a nice pool, invest the rest and live off the yearly proceeds

He has a name straight out of star wars. But whether he's any good at footy is another matter
