Sam Allardyce Explains Cenk Tosun Situation

[Wayno]

We’ve spent £27m on a striker that will “hopefully be starting games by the end of the season” that is not acceptable

Blaming January is absolute garbage too, look at Jelavic.

 

[Kev The Rat]

A poor player is what he’s saying. Look every signing is a risk, particularly from abroad.

 

[Kev50]

Should be ready to start games by next season, nothing to see here. It’s just like when the reds blooded Suarez and Torres, i remember laughing up my sleeve thinking these fellas’ll need at least a year to get to grips with this league, and then they went and spoiled it all by scoring on their debuts despite the massive culture shock

 

[MACCA75]

This is exactly the sort of stuff we heard about Niasse. Translates as ‘this lad looks utter cack in training and we’ve made a massive mistake’.

 

[IveGotThe]

There was an article about him when we where signing him hilighting that he wasnt a powerhouse, he didnt have blistering pace etc etc BUT he had no weaknesses...... I wept inside and hoped that the article was just fake news.

And quality scouting from walsh.

Or he could have just said we are continuing our project to see if we can break players while they are here to see if they can recover when they leave for another team.

All that could make sense if he had brought him on as a sub when we were all over Leicester. But no, throw him on away against Spurs and Arsenal to build his confidence. Jeez.

''He's had service''

When was this? In the game against Spurs in which we had zero shots on target and left him badly isolated?

''He hasn't hit the ground running''

It's Sandro and Klaassen all over again. They have had their chances so off you pop on loan to a better club who can make more of your talent. Are we even buying players for a specific system or are we just spunking money all over the place in the hope something sticks?

 

[II McColl II]

Unproven player joins premier league mid season from poor league and needs to hit the ground running but can't, absolute shocker.

Club is being run by idiot's and con men. Majority of the fan base could have told you we needed a proven premier league goalscorer to come in and do a job. Chelsea wanted Carroll and Crouch ffs that should tell you everything about what this league needs short term.

The rage this club is giving me currently is at a new level, incompetent the lot of them.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Hahaaaaaaa, subtext: "he's constantly getting mercilessly owned in training by that utter tragedy Michael Keane. I put him up against Unsworth in a 5 a side and he was getting outpaced. Well in Walshy".

 

[electricblue]

Sounds like he has made a mistake and is making excuses for him already.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Feels increasingly like we're setting players up to fail.

£27m is not a big sum in premier league terms for a striker . We didn’t but magic dust . We bought a Turk from Besiktas. This thread is further proof that a lot of or fans don’t get how football works .

Or he’s being honest but ourvfabs are too blinded to see it
