Confirmed Signing Cenk Tosun

[Azza]

Dont think so. According to the guardian its Allardyce who has been wanting him for a while and reccomended him to Palace in the summer

Well that's a relief!


Begs the question though what Walsh has been up to.

People bemoaning the quality of the Turkish league, as if at least half the Premier League isn't just as bad.

Just watched this obligatory YouTube vid.


Looks like he’s got a bit of fire in his belly, he won’t get anywhere near that space in the Premier league though. But does appear to have a good sprint!

Bloody hard to tell from youtube though tbf, agree that he does look to have a bit of a a battler in him like

You can find all goals he has scored in previous 2.5 in the below link from reddit:



Should get you in the mood

Has a Turkish player ever been a success in the PL?

Tugay is the only one I can think off.

But Cenk is actually German, though of Turkish descent and came through the Frankfurt youth system and has represented Germany at U 21 level.

So I think that is in his favour as I imagine the German development system would be way better than the one in Turkey.

Better than any other country in the world, comes to that

Could create a whole new feature out of this

2 Germans and a racist flop.

Though Cenk is German too.

Ozil and Can are Turkish mate - don't be fooled by what country they kick a ball round for.

Emre is racist but has had an alright career to be fair.

The Don rates him.

Lash him on the register right now

They became the players they are today in Germany via German way of training/youth development. If they were schooled in Turkey they would be lucky to be 10% of what they are today seriously. Nationality tells very little part of the story.

It's like how you pronounce "gender" or "general" (if that makes sense)
