[Jebus_lives]

Isn't Tosun German?

Also evergreen in their footballing lives.

Isn't Tosun German?

Yes he is German.

@Numberone do you have any other German players we can buy off you?

 

[Seathestars]

I still don't like his name

I can't wait to see him standing isolated 40 yards infront of the midfield

What's all this horseshit I keep reading about Cenk will get no good ball from the Everton?

Siguardsson and Rooney have been crying out for a proper striker to work with, Bolaise has a good assist rate, Cenk will get plenty of chances.

Agree or not, we've played half a season without a striker if you ask me, because Niasse and DCL are not good enough to do that job fulltime week in week out.

This signing will transform our attack.

I LOVE THIS POST - I FELT 10000000 TIMES BETTER ABOUT SINGING THIS CHAP ALREADY

Do we know if this is an Allardyce purchase or a DoF Everton club purchase? I still don't really know which direction the club is going in that regards.

Are we signing players as a club that any manager can coach or are we letting managers sign their players that may not work under another?

Wait, that last statement sounds horrendously accurate right now.

That’s a big part of the problem mate, no one’s clear on his role. I’d say the bit in bold is spot on.

I still don't like his name

his name is pronounced like Janck Taosoun. And his nickname is Tosun Pasha.

I would be very surprised if we get Lukaku levels of money for someone who would be 5 years older than he was when we sold him. If that is the case then we basically would have signed the Turkish Batistuta

If he get used to EPL and can show his striking skills in it, he can be 50-60m easily.
But sure its not 3-4 times more
Man can't do basic algebra sorry

Isn't Tosun German?

He's got a similar background to Ozil and Emre Can as far as I know but chose to play for Turkey after playing underage football for Germany.

That’s it. Pull the plug on this deal.

 

[TheBigIguana]

In fairness Spurs had a really good go at buying a load of crap with the Bale money too

Spurs hit the jackpot with having Kane come through their academy. As well as we do bringing through young players I'd give most of them up for one top class striker/winger

 

[Nymzee]

Yes he is German.

@Numberone do you have any other German players we can buy off you?

Özyakup is Dutch. He's good.

Ah. So German but not good enough to play for Germany.

/runs.

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..

Thanks for the info mate

How do you think he`ll adapt to now being in the team that plays with every play behind the ball and just hoofs the ball up to him in the air, with his nearest team mate being 30 yds away from him ?
