Dont be silly..
In turkey, everyone is very hard on turkish players. If a foreigner had a chance to make 5 mistakes to be critisized, a turk got only 1. Media,supporters of the club,directors of the club,etc, everyone is in love with foreigners and cenk was the only stiker in team. every year besiktas made 1 stiker transfer and every year it went great even if cenk performance was great too. mario gomez scored 28 goals, demba ba scored like 18 but he was the muslim idol for the supporters,we wrote songs about him, aboubakar was the second striker but he scored amazing goals too. but cenk managed to stick with his discipline and continue to develop his skills and score in that times. so I find "he is not working much in training" rumours rubbish. and besiktas always had 2 stikers changing in the squad. before its cenk-aboubakar then cenk-negredo and now negredo-vagner love.
you know so much about turkish league do u make ur PhD on it? Did you watch any games besiktas playing? Nearly every team in turkish league goes extreme hardcore defence against besiktas last 3 years. Kone plays in a shitty team and of course he scores well because the team scores so less and every attack is based on kone. Babel was in the bottom of his career when we got him and he worked amazingly with the right manager and he borned from his ashes. Watch him in CL and Europa league too. Besiktas made shine many lost players because of the manager senol gunes.
... but you all probably know how it ended ... I didn't even watch the whole game because it was so frustrating.
Honestly I don't think the nationality of players and in which league they have played prior to moving to the premier league is any reason for players making it (or not) in the premier league. I think it is much more important if they fit into the team and can adapt to team tactics.
And from what I have seen so far, the premier league is not good. I think the first time I realized it was when watched Arsenal playing against FC Bayern. I am a Dortmund fan I was desperately hoping that Arsenal would crash them
I am also following Aubameyang and how he is being integrated into the Arsenal team. His first two appearances were not good at all but they played him unitl the end anyway ... I wish Everton would have done it with cenk tosun.
I haven't watched a single game of Besiktas and cenk tosun in the turkish league, but I have seen him play for years for the national team and I think the scouting that Everton has done is good and that he is exactly the right kind of player to strengthen Everton. He doesn't have pace like Aubameyang, but as a Dortmund fan I can tell you Aubameyang wouldn't fit to Everton at all ... you don't have players like Dembele, Pulisic or Özil who can assist ... Does Everton have any player who is good in assisting ?
It would be really nice if you could loan him back to Besiktas at least for one game against FC Bayern (since hes not "fit" he might get fitter by playing against Bayern, right ?
Anyway, I am afraid FC Bayern will crash Besiktas as well. But who knows ...
Well yeah I realise there are likely multis involved but that’s not the point.me and the others?
its a trap! a rat trap
