2018/19 Cenk Tosun

[BernieH]

baffled me Cenk, honestly thought he'd bag double figures this year, just doesn't suit the system rather than being complete tosh, in my opinion.

I agree, I think the overall ability of the team has overtook the level that he’s at. He’s not going to develop, which is why I think DCL has managed so many games lately, as he has youth on his hands.

It’s a shame as Tosun looked like he was going to be a good signing during glimpses last season, he needs to go though.

Add to that, he's at times looked bereft of confidence and I surmise that he may wish to return to Turkey. If you're not confident, then you're not going to bag goals.

Struggling to think of a slower striker than him, it's like he's running in mud

 

[jamieni]

From what Brands was saying, the vision seems to be to have interchangeable, mobile forwards up top like the RS. Tosun just doesn’t fit into that.

Mitrovic turns like the 61 at Tag Ave but he´s got a presence about him at least.

If that's the case then i doubt we will sign an out and out striker anytime soon, more likely to be another Richarlison type forward who can play across the front line but with a better goal record.

Nah, he´s definitely not good enough for a team in the top 10. You just have to see how little impact/involvement he has in the game and how limited his goal scoring opportunities are. It´s a stroll in the park for any decent central defender against him.

A decent striker in this league Arnautovic. The difference between him and Tosun is ridiculous.

 

[Frang]

He is a midesboro type player if ever there was one

Him and jordon Rhodes

Oooooosh

Not in the squad two games in a row. So he is definitely gone I assume. I wonder if it is Werder Bremen as I read the other day.

 

[Blueclouds]

Hope we get rid tbh

Complete and utter flop. Steve Walsh´s parting gift.

How much could we potentially recoup? Best case scenario is he goes on loan somewhere and scores a few, potential for 10 million.

nothing.

he will happily sit on our bench for the next 3.5 years on 120k a week.

even if a club offer us 15m for him and we accept, they are not going to be paying him anywhere near 120k a week. more like 25k. so we are stuck paying him for remainder of contract just like several others.

We ruin strikers. It’s our #fabric.

Just beyond depressing. I know we were desperate for a striker but why this fella? You get people saying it´s just our system that lets him down, we seem to say that about a lot of players.
