Confirmed Signing Cenk Tosun

[Prevenger17]

Do you know whether or not he doesn't half put a shift in?

I believe he does. He can play as a lone striker or as part of a front 3. Might need time to adjust to the pace of the Premier League

Name like a seventies porn star.

...posted the initial rumour on the transfer thread last week.

Looks technically very good, particularly with his back to goal. Has goals in him but doesn’t appear to be the quickest

Looks like a 'meaty' fella who plays up top but has no pace and isn't tall...

In the vids on 1st page etc he looks like he could finish

In this video he looks meh

I personally think we need someone with a lot of pace..unless the idea is to punt it to this chap (who is not tall or quick) to hold the ball up?

Weird imo

1 year on his contract...maybe that's why were taking a punt?

Has Mitroglu written all over him. After Sandro and Klaassan you would have thought we would have learnt and brought in a proven premier league centre forward.

...I presume you mean somebody who has proven he’s a very good CF in the Premier League. Not sure many of the Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy type are available. I suppose there are a few below that level but i’m not certain they would really take us forward.

If that was the case, just stick with DCL - they seem a bit similar but I suppose it will allow DCL a break from time to time.
But I agree, defenders hate pace so maybe a better option is Walcott alongside DCL?

...possibly. Reports suggest Roy Hodgson is keen and Palace have had an £18m bid rejected.

I think its because we can get him cheap. If it comes off he's only 26 so has a good 3-4 years in him. id be very happy with this signing.

Sure he'll love playing up front on his own.

Not Walcott, but yes someone fast or someone whose shown something in a recognised league...some of the defending on those youtube clips was bizarre.

Seem to be fairly high fees for a bit of a risk.

Even if hes decent for 5 seasons...we only need a left back and forward at the moment and with a few sales could afford someone who on paper would seem to be more suitable.

Cenk --- Cheng
Tosun --- Toe-Soon

that's completely wrong mate.

Tchenk Toesoon with a soft s

turkish C's are pronounced J in english. the Guy's name will be pronounced Jenk

Not impress, we are spending just for the sake of spending. Not really an improvement on what we have by a big margin. Sign him, takes a few months to settle, by that time it’s probably end of the season and World Cup shop window is full blown.

Either go for a high profile establish striker or don’t sign anyone at all.

Looks like a pantomime villain so...

BOO
