Everton to make £4m move for AWOL Boro striker Tuncay | Mail Online
Everton look set to make a cut-price offer for Middlesbrough striker Tuncay Sanli.
Boro are eager to offload high earners such as Tuncay, 27, and Everton are ready to follow up their interest with a £4million bid.

ToffeeWeb: Rumour Mill, Season 2008-09

Everton are being linked with Turkey international Tuncay Sanli by a growing number of media sources.
Relegated Middlesbrough are looking to offload some of their higher earners and Tuncay could be available for around £4m.
While he operates primarily as a striker, Tuncay can also play in attacking midfield or wide right, perhaps adding the versatility that David Moyes needs if he is also to land Jô on loan from Manchester City for a second spell.

Really hope we get him, I was surprised Boro got him when they did and annoyed we didnt;

The deeper position of a right front midfield three is the only role i can see him playing, i think Moyes may go for Pennant or a Trochowski/Defour/Mouthino type player as his big signing.

Link is in the Daily Mail- Thats that then!

Wouldn't the two go hand in hand?

What I meant by improving the squad was signing lots of players like Tuncay for relatively cheap fees. That compared to spending 20 million on one top class player. More quality and less players or less quality and more players.
 

Dont see why not.

Good record and with a lot of games (Hopefully!) we will need depth, the fact that were in for a few strikers though seems to me that we may see the return of the 4-4-2.

As for the folks that are saying RB and RM...High five!

We need 2 players that could waltz right into the first team thus letting Hibbert and Osman be cover.
 
I can't think of one reason why Moyes shouldn't go after Tuncay (although someone else here will:lol:). He is an upgrade over Osman without a doubt and when others are blathering on these forums about selling Hibbert and Anichebe for 4 million each, getting a player of Tuncay's experience and pedigree for 4 million is a steal indeed.

The concern shouldn't be whether he can play but how he'll fit in with the rest of the team in the locker room. If he's willing to put on his hard hat and come to work, he'll do just fine.

Eh, how about a little of both? Shoo Hibbert and Anichebe out the door, sign Tuncay and then make a big splash on possibly two if Moyes is given the scratch. Get the Jo deal finalized and then sign one of the oft mentioned GOT thread darlings - Moutinho, Naughton, Delph, Defour, etc...

If we're going to hypothesize 'till the end of time, let's go big
 
The thing about Tuncay is that even if we don't need somebody is that position, he does genuinely have something we don't have at the moment - the ability to beat a man one on one. The like of Pienaar and Arteta tend to use quick interchanges to get passed defenders, but Tuncay actually runs at people and beats them with invention and technique.

I think he's the striker that Jo is supposed to be (and might be one day). I've heard Borough fans say they a a one man team, meaning him.

At £4m, it's a no brainer for me.

I agree - he would be a quality addition to the squad and would bring the same Pienaar-magic on the right side, where we have been lacking. With Pip behind him, defense would be solid and they could our Pienaar-Baines combo on the right, as Tuncay will gladly move inside creating space for Pip.

Geez, it gets boring - he is one of the forwards with the best workrate you will see in Premier League.
Some of you have an obsession with hard work and thinking that most of the players just prefers to be lazy and don't listen to the manager - Van Der Meyde was an exception, not a rule.

While i don't agree with your choice of words, you have a point. Most footballers are not lazy, which is why the ones who are stand out so easily.

The measure of a good player is not how many miles he runs during a game, but whether he fullfills the role he is given in the team and whether he links up with the rest of the team - IMO Tuncay would be great and should be bought if available for £4 m.
 
Tuncay signing would also have another bonus - he could easily play as Pienaar replacement on the left and would be a good combination with a Baines, also providing a great help defensively for Leighton, as Pienaar does.
