I think Tosun is a much better player than Niasse. I think it was easier to leave Niasse out of the team but I take your point.
Sadly Crooks is an absolute whopper.He's made Garth Crook's team of the week.

Sadly Crooks is an absolute whopper.
“Cenk Tosun: I haven't been totally convinced by Tosun's performances since he arrived at Goodison Park and I rather suspect neither has Sam Allardyce. To suddenly single Tosun out for special praise is a sure indication of the manager's relief that the striker (who wasn't cheap) is now hitting the back of the net on a more regular basis. His two goals against Stoke, in appalling conditions, smacked of a natural striker's instincts. Allardyce now suggests 40 points allows Everton the luxury of building for next season. I suggest those building blocks centre on Tosun scoring 20 goals otherwise both manager and striker could end up on Everton's cutting-room floor.”
Wtf. Score 20 or be binned? Most seasons only 3 players hit 20 league goals. Crooks really does steal a living.

today was the day every besiktas fan regrets that we sell him. 21m pounds for tr league title for us. team couldn’t finish without him.
altought it seemed expensive for everton fans at first, he got sold because of the pressure of the record transfer offer in tr history, and the moment the offer came nothing can focus cenk to tr league again after the dreams on EPL.
from now on he must become worldclass in everton and turn into a semi-legend just to satisfy my soul. lol
Also its very cool to support a team in epl with purpose and watch games with bond without gambling on it. cenk gives us that. if you emphaty on that the weirdness of turkish fans can seem normal at some point.
I recall posts on this site putting Jelavic over Suarez in a 'best 11' ahead of the derby a few years ago.
Will reserve judgment for a bit...
Well mate, for me it's a combination of two things. First he's a decent character, hard worker and talented striker, so in my book he deserves a decent career in UK. Also getting to know this place and people in it I had a strong bound with you Everton fans, therefore his success works both ways. I simply enjoy writing on this forum, not only football forums, mind, off topic threads are just as enjoyable. At times depression thread gives me hope and positivity when I need, interesting threads on Ale house as well. It is not mere ''Cenk is one of us, makes me proud'' in my case. I studied abroad many years, Italy and Netherlands, so I consider myself world citizen most of the time anyway.
So yeah, overall it's cool interacting Scousers here![]()
To be honest you could snap the referee and six players in half then start throwing bricks into the stands but as long as you score you’d make his team of the week. Not that Tosun doesn’t deserve it though likeHe's made Garth Crook's team of the week.
