would fans' view be different if he'd scored 4 goals and 2 assist in 6 cl games for a team like bayern, instead? This is the hope that i have he is a good goalscorer as well as a good player, as opposed to looking at his stats in turkey. If he had those stats at a more renowned club, who let's be honest would have much better players all around them, then i think we'd all be buzzing.
 
Tosun is well rounded got bit of every skill that striker needs. His first touch is a killer and what I heard from Turkish media is that he is a really hard working guy especially for the last 2 years. He started his career in germany which is always a bonus. Got decent heading, dribbling and fancy power shots (volley goal againts benfica last season, long distance goal againts porto this season). Being 26 years old with Champions League experience is good. I hope he works hard here and gets used to EPL

What kinda optimum XI are people thinking with this guy in the team? Same as recently just swapping him for DCL? I wouldn't mind trying a 4-4-2 with them both up top.

Not both on the pitch.

I´m thinking Bolasie and Gylfi to whip in crosses for him.

Recommend watching a few games for some of you. He's hard for me to adquately describe. He plays as an on the back shoulder poacher at times, at times he moves back to hold up the ball, at times he drifts out to the left, takes the ball, and runs at guys, at times he plays with his back to the goal and is strong. First touch is very good, dribbling is a bit dangerous, and he's got a thump of a shot.

But he's not some big target striker and he's not going to put his should down, knock guys over, and scoring from all over the place. I love his movement, I think he'll be very efficient when he gets the ball is dangerous areas, but we have to get him in dangerous areas. This guy isn't Aboubakar, who will take it, run at guys, fight 'em off, and be individually dangerous. He's not going to jump over anyone and win a header, but if he has a little space, he'll be effectively within it.

Ive only seen him on You Tube so i'm no expert, but , if you watch Sandro's highlights on You Tube, they are strikingly similar.

I think DCL would be quality playing off of a striker. But I want to see Bolasie, Siggy and Rooney start together to be honest.

One player is not going to transform this team into one that can play football. For us to be able to play out from the back, we'll need defenders that can kind of play a bit and midfielders that will try to pass forwards. And having a professional footballer at left back is a must I reckon.

This an absolute must.

I'd love the board to surprise us and have one signed and sealed before tomorrows 12 noon FA Cup registration deadline.
