Sam Allardyce Explains Cenk Tosun Situation

[electricblue]

Funny how Batshuayi has already hit the ground running at Dortmund then..

 

[Boba Fret]

What is he gibbering about? I am thinking Sam has now officially lost the plot.

 

[jceverton]

Well that statement is going to fill the lad with bags of confidence.

Man management at its finest!

 

[dholliday]

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

Aye, we're not used to blunt honesty after Moyes' later-era blaming the glass ceiling, Martinez's bonkers optimism and Koeman's not-arsed style.

£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 .

no, this was never the plan. for him to be ready next season, we should have waited for the summer if we didn't need a striker. fact is, we do need one badly, and this guy must be pretty bad if he's getting benched ahead of a burnt out kid and a guy Sam was trying to flog two weeks ago

 

[tommytowne]

So the kid has found it a struggle to adapt to the speed and physicality of the Prem?
You mean our feted scouting system could not see this as an inevitability prior to signing him?
Who amongst our fan base, me included had heard of Tosun? Not many I'll bet. And how many went at last, Walsh and Co have unearthed a gem.
I'm going out on a limb here but he will be a flop here. Just a gut feeling.
Can't blame him really though as few make an immediate impact moving to a different country, Ademola Lookman proving the exception. Now where did he come from?

 

[PeregrineT]

All of that was a giant lie.

Yes, like Tosun all of the sudden forgot how to hold up the ball "like he did at Besiktas".

hes come from turkey . Lacazette came from France . Nothing is set in stone , get in the real world

 

[IveGotThe]

However it turns out lets not lose sight that if it doesnt workout its not the lads fault, its the people who brought him here.

 

[Zezti]

Translate to "he wanted to train and not join us when we sat watching videos of swansea so I told him to do one"

 

[roy vernon]

"I'm more likely to feed him slowly"....makes it sound like he's got a caged animal locked up.

Pity somebody didn’t think to feed Sam slowly, the fat biff

 

[Nealroy]

If he wasn't such a great mate of Walsh I'd be reading that as - "the d.o.f is buying players I don't want". In which case, is there a chance that Moshiri is the one off buying players that neither Walsh or the manager rate??

 

[royalbalou]

What in God's name is happening to this club?
It's being run by people who couldn't manage a burger van.
Players are being bought for record fees without any knowledge if they can actually play football.
Managers are being chosen who are known to be dodgy and have never won anything with teams that play crap football.
The Moyes years seem almost magical right now....the Kendall years... simply a dream.... whereas this is a nightmare

 

[Barnfred 55]

Man management at its finest!

Thought that was meant to be one of his strong points.

 

[Kev The Rat]

He’s come from a very poor league what do you expect
