2018/19 Cenk Tosun

To rub salt into the wound, there's a Puma advert featuring Rom on this site.

He will not get 10 I keep saying it

Mate, you first said it after we had played 4 games.

Tosun had been leading the line really well, Richarlison and Walcott played off and were playing really well. Richarlison earning a Brazil call up.

Although Tosun hasnt scored I think West Ham aside hes played well. He needs a goal though, will do his confidemce the world of good.

He needs a lot more than a goal i am afraid.

I really despise the negativity on this forum and see myself as a positive poster. However, I’m going to be totally honest with this post, and if others feel I’m being contradictory here then so be it.

I like Cenk, and he does put a shift in. I reckon he also cares about playing for us, and he’s desperate to do well. However, he’s simply not good enough. He’s flat footed, lacks pace and just hasn’t got that natural strikers nose

Moreover, he’s too easily brushed aside. I hate to say it, but imagine him up against Van Dyk and Gomes? He’s never Going to do the business for us.

Richarlison is our only answer up front. The situation is crying out for him. It maybe makeshift, but there’s no way Tosun is the right man for us.

I said earlier that as a centre half you must be absolutely made up to be playing against Tosun. None of his attributes are going to give you much to worry about.

I think he's an honest lad who can finish when it's laid on a plate but overall he isn't even good enough to get into those goal scoring positions. Upgrade needed.

West Ham was his best game because he actually looked like scoring. Other games he came about as close to hitting the back of the net as Tony Hibbert.

He's obviously struggling at the minute, his misses v West Ham were terrible. I think a bit of time on the bench will do him good.

Preferably in Stanley Park.

But you stated it as fact Steve, whereas reality is if we were offered him we'd be morons not to take him. If they have lots of younger, fitter, talented strikers please elaborate on why we're watching a second rate footballer from Turkey aimlessly plod around up front.

So...despite many on here stating that Tosun has been playing well without scoring(so far) you're spin on things is that he has been 'aimlessly plodding round up front'. I'm sure we'll get another striker, possibly in the next window, but it won't be Cavani (and in your usual charming,friendly manner, you can vault me on that....just think of the boost to your self esteem if we DID sign Cavani.) And don't take words just on face value...English is a beautiful language and the suggestion that Brands and Silva have already said no is merely my interpretation of the way they operate. But I suppose that's a bit deep for a Master of The Pedantic like your good self. And why does 'from Turkey' matter ? There you go...an example of me being pedantic. Get the idea?

Grow up Steve.

Most of the service he is getting is coming from crosses and I don't think it suits him. If we had a playmaker instead of whatever Siggy is behind him he'd probably do better.

 

[Steve Wigan]

His all round play has been atrocious two games in a row and he's barely broken into a jog. A luxury player we can't afford, especially if he is going to miss utter sitters.

God help Walcott, Richarlison,Siggy, DCL, Niasse and the rest if they ever miss a couple of sitters..

Grow up Steve.

Another brilliant, incisive, thought provoking contribution to the debate by Mr. Bungle. It really is magical.

No. God help us when our star centre forward has scored 1 goal in 13 games.

"People may wonder why I am putting Cenk in with the record he has had," said Silva.

"But what I see in training - and how hard he is working - convinces me. We know the crowd will get frustrated but I have spoken about it with the team and they have to expect it."

so basically its

"People may wonder why I am putting Cenk in with the record he has had," said Silva.

"But what I see in training is how much worse DCL and niasse are, its shocking, I once vomited three times. We know the crowd will get frustrated but I have spoken about it with the team and they just have to take it."

That's the worrying part, expect to be booed, the fans have a lot to answer for in undermining players confidence by offering little support to any player deemed not good enough or not trying hard enough.
