What are his strengths/weaknesses?

That’s been discuss to death mate
His strength is his strength and his weakness is his weakness.

Schneiderlin to Westham. Nzonzi in.. I'll take that.

Can't see Brighton being the only club after him if £18m is the price. Newcastle will probably go for that as well (providing Ashley hasn't laundered all their money offshore that is). Will we go for him is the question, I honestly thought Celtic would want about £30m for him so it's a good price but the fact that they're willing to accept just £18m mid-season maybe they feel he is easily replaceable?

As always, someone says black, someone else says white:


Having said that...

Told you Celtic would bite your hand of 20 million.

 

[bluestevon]

God, I hope not.

I know you're not struck on him mate, but if you manage him right there is a cracking player in there.

A fit and in form Shaw, a returning Coleman and Kenny would give us massive strength at fullback for years to come.

 

[bluestevon]

Gotta be worth a punt at 14m for sure, thats nothing money in this day and age.

My entire knowledge of this lad is from a 6 min youtube video, have no idea what type of player he is though, seems to have a bit of skill, but neither that big or fast on first look.

heey besiktas fan here. i've just signed up to share some infos with you. this guy is a late bloomer. 3 years ago was a 3rd striker for us but improved massively. we didn't even expected him to improve that much. his finishing is world class, he's strong, great at scoring headers, has a decent first touch, good at long range shots... i can't name you a big weakness of him honestly. if he was a german, english etc. the club whom he was playing for would get +30 million pounds offers. it's about the league you know. some of you asked why we are happy. we are not happy but also not unhappy. cus we need money. this year ffp will end and we are planning to spend and since cenk is showing himself why wouldn't we wanna sell him? also, negredo is doing good and demba ba will be joining this january also it seems we are after a young striker so since he won't be a huge missing for us we will be good. in this current market if he had a different passport you wouldn't get him for 20.

Thanks for the info mate.

By the way - what's the weather like in Bootle this morning?

Seems to remind me a bit of Jelavic or even Soldado. Not small but not the biggest either, not the quickest but good technically. Looks a decent finisher. The two questions that emerge are whether we can make him enough chances and also whether his style of forward is suited to the league.

He seems the type of player who makes the ball stick and chips in with one in two, though that ratio may be questionable with the rise in standard between leagues, i would nearly pay 20 mill just making the ball stick up front at the moment.

Weetabix legs to Everton.

I think people need to remember shaw had a horror leg break. May never be the same again.

Can’t see Allardyce signing more youth or unproven players in the premier league. The squad needs a cull tbh - clearing out Dead wood.
From I think he will sign two first team players with premier league exp.
with the World Cup coming a number of periphery player with top six will be angling for a move - maybe even on loan

Unlike last time we need to make sure the new wood is better than than the so called dead wood.

You could replace him with a 3 legged dog and Celtic would still win the league easily.
