2017/18 Cenk Tosun

[billyblue80]

It's baffling not to give him more minutes. Especially now we are virtually safe. Two games he started he barely had a chance made for him

 

[wikofootball]

Disgrace he's not been used when you see other players getting a game ahead of him

It’s not baffling to me. I don’t think he’s as good as Niasse, for the predicament we’re in.

Sam keeps talking about “key performance indicators”.

“KPI” for me would be the fact that, a certain Mr A.Kone, has outperformed, outscored and out assisted Cenk this season domestically.

There are rumours that Cenk has been less than impressive in training.

This would possibly explain why BFS is reluctant to give him any minutes.

And we paid £27m for him

Means he's absolutely gash in training mate.

We had 3 defensive players go off injured yesterday. I think Tosun should have had more minutes, but yesterday was not such an occasion.

 

[TheNinja]

Almost seems like our recruitment people are pulling names out of a hat. Never known a team buy so many players for big money/wages that they have no intention of playing.

Unbelievable Jeff.

Just read in the Echo that Allardyce thinks he is not working hard enough in training.

Probably not running far enough, hoofing the ball high enough, or clattering centre halves hard enough.

 

[Carlito]

I wish a few others had been bombed out this quickly.

 

[overkill]

We won’t be finishing above Arsenal mate.

Maybe not but 7th is on

Seen some besitkas fans outside the ground after the game. They were not happy he hadnt played. One of them kicked the air in disgust.

Its daft he doesnt play. Why bother buying him?

will be interesting to add up all the minutes that sandro, klassen and tosun have amounted in the premier league between them this season.

I think the cost per minute in every £1000 will be astonishing.

close to £60m worth of transfers, with a couple hundred minutes each!

around £10,000 PER MINUTE

I think Cenk will score one or two if given the chance this weekend. Hope Allardyce won't keep him benched for too long.

I saw the other thread about Walcott, get him and get a decent LB and all set. Walcott imo is a gem buried for so long by Wenger, like some others. He is still not too old and I think much better than Lennon anyway.

Can't wait to see the game on Sat.

Carried Forward from old thread....

Hi Guys. I think with the transfer of Cenk Tosun you will definately see a rise in supporters at matchdays and forums as Turkish people are very passionate of there football and footballers. just like other turkish fans i also have been reading and following up on the transfer and decided to put my 2 pence in on the player for you guys to read. i am a hard core Besiktas Fan and have been since i was 7 years old, (42 now) i have been watching Cenk Tosun play from day one every game home and away so i beleive i have a good knowledge of the player and i thought i can share my opinnion. firstly he is a passionate player, loves to win hates loosing and will fight to the death to make sure his team wins. i say team because he is a proper team player. he loves scoring goals but he is definately NOT selfish, it is more important to him for his team to score than it is for him to score. he loves a passing game and he is great at short pass and turns, pass and move, etc. in the box he is at his best, give him the ball in the box and he will definately make space for a shot ON target, weather he is facing goal or not. he has a few goals in the league where he gets the ball with at least 2 players around him facing the opposite direction and he found a gap to turn and shoot scoring in most of the situations. he has 2 good feet both as good as each other and a good but not excellent shooting power from outside the box he might get a couple of goals but dont expect too many. like i said he is best inside and most of all he is great in the air, but this is because he is excellent at reading where the ball will end up and he gets there on time every time. he loves being the single striker as in the box he is KING and he doesnt like teammates getting in his way. this year he has been working hard on all areas he was weak and one of them was holding the ball waiting for support, and he has been doing that alott this year and his improvement ment Besiktas had more of the ball against all opositions even in the CL. i live in london and so i also watch english football and i also watch most if not all premier league games including Everton and my knowledge is telling me that Cenk Tosun will make such a huge difference to your team. he will get goals for you, mostly headers, your game plan is not fully suited for him but he will adapt as he said in a turkish interview that he has watched all everton games and allready has an idea of how you play and how he needs to play, he is ready as while everyone was having a holiday he got a private coach and was training everyday 3 times a day and he has been doing this for the past 2 years while all on holiday he has been training. he is ready and will definately start on saturday against Tottenham and he knows them very well as last time Besiktas played tottenham Besiktas won 1-0 and Tosun got the goal. overall you have purchased a player that in my opinnion is perfect for you and i am excited to watch him play every week. i have him down scoring the first goal on saturday and a 2-1 win for everton, hopefully he wont let me down.
PS. he likes being called Tosun PASA (pronounced PASHA) maybe you guys can come up with some kind of chanting with Tosun Pasha in it he will love it and as turkish players are very emotional this will lift him right up and you will see a difference in performance. turkish players need support to perform as in turkey the fans never stop chanting, so come on Everton.

Everton was crap today. Tosun did well today. He he run everywhere to get the ball but the ball was not delivered to him enough. He will be successful but he could do much better with more attacking team. Everton is a very slow team and there is a huge gap between striker and midfielders. This is a classic Big Sam style game plan. Besiktas is an attacking team and dominating most of the games. Everton is defensive team unlike Besiktas. It is very difficult for any striker. Spurs and Besiktas are more similar. If Tosun would play for Spurs he would score as many as Kane.. Sorry guys but Everton is an average team. If Besiktas would play with Everton tonight the score would be the same.

Hi Guys,

Firstly i have to say that im one of the turkish (bjk) fans like the others that you see)

I watched the match tonight..

First think that i have, tottenham did not playba superior game. Yeah score may be seen like that.. Unfortunately, - totally subjective comment - everton’s play style is totally based on physical struggle and i think again old school PL style..

Because of this, There's a big difference between Pep's team and the rest of the clubs.. (klopp’s liverpool is out this sort)..

Everton or any other club, does not matter, has to carry ball to frontline if they want to score and besides the play continous mostly at attack field.. but everton today cant move to ball and i think midfielders just physically good but not technically.. sorry but, according to this match at least me, i am feel so hopeless.. logically we can say that everton plays with these midfielders, wings..

But actually, there is an other problem to score..

Playing strategy.. cenk tried some short passes to direct siggy and the others, some reverse passes..

If Sam All, do not think, direct passes, little triangles or etc like all about technical ability of total team.. i think cenk or another one can not help your team..

I think there is a hard situation in front of sam and everton fans..

I highly wonder how sam create a team that can make attack..

Plus, if tonight you cant score then again this score is meaningless..(yeah spurs won in dortmund and real but both of team are wide and attack playing teams)..

Briefly, spurs not so good i think everton was soo much bad tonight.. passing faiks, disorderly teamwise movement and something like that..

I wonder next match to show how the team is step forward..

Yeap,,, thats correct.... creative wingmen.... watch this guys please....




see, quaresma + babbel (caner erkin) wingmanns... look the assists... look at the passes...

we need that kind of players in everton... if we cant get some player like this, or if our players cant play like theese wingmanns on the video, than we could forget Tosun.... i mean he can do a lot of things, but that will never be enough....

i Hope i could explain it, and hope you can understand me....

PS: A playmaker like Oguzhan Özkyakup in the middle field cant be wrong too!!!!

cheers

The thing is, you were praying that he won't turn out to be a total crap. You've seen he is not. But now, you're asking if he is the next Lukaku. No. He will score goals for you, but he won't be banging in every possible ball, you won't sell him £100M, he is not that superstar.

Hello lads, how do you say "out of his depth" in Turkish?

He's crap and should soon be winging his way back to your league where you can worship him again very soon.
