Confirmed Signing Cenk Tosun

Dembele is worth about 2.5 million . Ray Wilkins who coached him has said all our young strikers have more potential than him

Un Brighton have bid 18M for them already and pretty sure Celtic thinks they can get more, so he's probably worth a bit more than that.

Think the problem with Dembele is that his first touch and hold up play are a bit immature. He's strong and fast, but again, we need someone that can hold the ball. Tosun is certainly as strong as Dembele and seems more capable of holding the ball. But he's also not 21 years old and doesn't have crazy pace like Dembele.
 
It’s the 2nd of January - chill out! Only Liverpool have signed a played and that’s because he was tapped up!

DCL can hold the ball up. He has an excellent first touch (usually). Just there are no runners for him to pass to and usually gets pressed out of the ball. Needs a pacy guy alongside him
 
Probably filming one of those excellent reveal videos and having trouble getting a smile out of him after he met the other recent signings. Should be all sweet!

I actually think signing Tosun could solve 2 positions. I think because DCL wins so many headers, and does a lot well, but is a poor finisher, he could naturally move out to Lennon's spot. He has good speed though its deceptive, and he has a high work rate so he should be willing to get back defensively. This way he isnt responsible for finishing anymore, and can run the channels like he did earlier in the season. When we hoof the ball up hes pressed up to win headers and flick them on to Tosun, and then defensively just slides back to the right side.

Maybe if you loan Walcott you set up with Tosun up top, Siggurdson in behind, and DCL and Walcott on the wings with DCL coming more centrally and Walcott playing as a more traditional winger.
