I don't think cenk will go china before his 30s. china is a typical career drop for players and he is in the middle of "my time to shine" years in his career.

Agreed.
Also,with his little baby and language barrier China isn't a good choice to him,Besides he chose EPL to prove himself.
His first choice gonna be Spain or Germany,if things don't go well for him.
If Everton can find a way to convince him playing for Guangzhou (my opinion almost zero possibility), that means Cenk did his job for EFC properly.
Everton earn €11m just in a year

Haha it was all over the world, right?

Having this guy as our main striker is a decision that will come back to haunt us by the end of the season. Despite saying that tomorrow is a game he won't have a better chance to do well in. If he doesn't get into goalscoring positions tomorrow then it should banish the myth that it is down to the team and not him.

Language barrier?

Chauffer driven, 5* hotel serviced apartment, 5* restaurants...

He would want for nothing.

His old friend Demba Ba got his leg broken in china and crave to escape there no matter what money they gave to him. Also Turkeys second best striker Burak Yilmaz escaped from 8m euros contract in china to just play for an average club in turkey for 3m euros. And these are players 4-5 years older than cenk. China is like katar or usa in football and you can't convince a player to go there who got %1 ambition to be better.

He needs to be finding the net sooner rather than later. Today please Cenk.

Yes, language barrier and other stuff.These might sound a bit non-sense to you however we need to remember he's Turkish and his values&mindset are different,especially in case of family
Before his transfer to Everton Cenk already refused China and chose EFC and PL.
Hope he plays well today

What the hell are you talking about? Demba Ba just refused the offer from Besiktas and moved back to China, does not look like he is craving for escape to me.

Burak gets more than 4 million per year, get your facts straight. He did not run away from China, he just had to move back due to unresolved family matters.

Talisca, a younger player and Cenk's ex team mate and future team mate if the deal goes through, doing fairly well. It all comes down to money, let's not fool ourselves with "getting better" and "making a name". Cenk has his chance to make a dent in Everton and looks like he struggles a quite bit trying to do it. Rather than turning into a full loss, selling him for 40 million is quite a good option.

Will bag and lift up his shirt to show "sniff it" underneath

....he’s got a decent goalscoring record so he’s due one.

pedro1976 · September 16, 2018

You have to chuckle don't you... got a forward here who hasn't scored in a few games but has enabled his teammates to get into attacking positions by pressing and supporting attacks.

The same people would have excused one of lukakus 7 game barren spells by saying "he's isolated".... this lad doesn't get isolated he gets himself involved.

Its probably the same reason that his teammates seem to like him vs stroppy sulky plums.

Because defenders have to be wary of Lukaku...his power/pace keeps them on their toes...Tosun only seems threatening in the box.

Demba ba refused what offer? Besiktas offered less than anything and he choose to play at Goztepe first, after that season Besiktas offered nothing as money to him again.
Burak gets 3.5m euros per year and 11.500 euros for every point his team gets. Maybe it gets to 4 mil but he escaped from 8 m contract and plays for Trabzon?
Talisca was talented enough to play in europe so easy and he got the offers aswell but he choose china for what?
Higher wages and nothing more.

If a player wants more from football than "higher wages", china before 32 is not an option. That's straight facts.
Also If anyone thinks he will give up his ambition to be successful in EPL and EFC in this little period of time, they don't watch him working hard to prove himself after demba ba, mario gomez or aboubakar.
