January 2019 Transfer Window

[Parker]

He doesn’t hate the RS, he’s a random Spaniard, and he’s just another headless chicken run arounder when we need someone who can pass.

Come on mate, he's better than that.

Tosun was very highly thought of before he got “Evertoned”, I remember Guardiola speaking highly of him.

All the experts on here calling him garbage, yeah right lads, take your word over that every day of the week!

The facts are, he’s just another decent player ruined in the actual shambles of a transfer policy we have been operating under for the last 2 years.

I like the fact that he wants to stay and fight for his place, shows a bit of grit, a feature obviously missing amongst the majority of the current crop of charlatans we have turning out.

Probably not just the transfer policy. We've had far too many managers in a short space of time and the players
seem to have difficulty finding their way after each change.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Tosun is really, really slow. Arguably too slow for the Premier League, particularly when he has no other standout assets to offset his lack of pace. Let's compare him to say, Giroud, who is also known for being pretty slow. Giroud offers that deadly aerial threat and does a lot of the 'dirty' work for other players. Or compare him to Callum Wilson who is better technically and seems to have more tenacity to his game. I'm not going to compare him to any of the better players as it wouldn't be fair. I just feel his game is far too limited, especially if the manager is determined to stick to this formation. Just get as much as we can for him and wish him all the best.

Tosun is this years Niasse. Marginalised, he'll probably end up staying, then when things get really bad will come into the team and score a few crucial goals at home against crap teams to sure things up and make sure we finish midtable - coincidentally also mirroring his contribution last season. Time is a flat circle. Everything we have done or will do we will do over and over and over again.

....apparently 7 official offers for his services:

should be able to get a good fee in the summer if there's plenty of interest. Look at the calibre of clubs listed. He's a turkish international, he's not a woeful player, he just doesn't suit our system, yet our fans speak about him as if he's league 2 standard.

Walcott and Tosun on phat wages

Steve Walsh's parting gift

So good that he had scored less goals than Kone had in the Super Lig by the time we signed him that season.

Meh, take your irrelevant short term statistic and ram it my friend.

He was highly rated and sought after, those are the main facts.

That's not terrible.

Not great, but there are many players with worse stats than that.

One day, don’t know when it will be, could never happen in our lifetime. But I can only hope that you will like any player in any league, just one? And you will be able to say something positive?

Nah didn’t think so!

lol u wot

 

[MikeH72]

Come on mate, he's better than that.

He’s a player that United use in big games to put out fires and do man marking jobs, I’m not saying he’s a crap player, I just don’t want us to be signing that type of player when we’ve already got someone who does that job. We need creativity in that midfield desperately.
