Giroud doesn't want to come here, Batshuayi doesn't appear to be available and then who is left? King is out of form at the moment and then everyone who might be available hasn't really shown that they can score 10-15 or more goals a season (unless you want to take a chance on a sick note like Sturridge/Welbeck/Carroll). From what I have seen of this lad (albeit on Youtube) he does at least look like a footballer, unlike Niasse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 At worse he could be a Jelavic, have a good six months whilst he's unknown. Done well enough in the champions league to be worth a punt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddock Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 Apparently he’s going to Bayern now (or so Twitter says) he’s also allegedly playing tonight for Besiktas so it can’t be even close to being done whoever he’s going to.

Bayern have Wagner going to them on Jan 1st so I doubt that and of course he’s playing for his team tonight as he can’t sign a contract with us until 1st Jan. Watch him get injured tonight!!!

Bill Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 Yeah I would take his with a pinch of salt, the club's may have agreed a fee but until the time that the player signs a contract so much can put the move in jeapordy.

Popular Post Ceyhun Posted December 28, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 Hello guys, Im a besiktas fan from Istanbul so let me give some info. First of all if he was playing at germany or any other euro country you would pay much much more. Euro has good value here so club needed this kind of money. We also earn lots from CL but still it was time to send him away. He is great player and also great person. He can do alot at premier league. We bought him very cheap, he was 2nd option for most of his career at besiktas but he keeps improve improve. he started his football career at germany then come to turkey. He never gives up and always looks to improve himself he also have very good character which i cannot say for many other good players. This year he was amazing at CL, he will add more be sure about it. Everton is also good place for him so im happy for Cenk, he deserved to play on better leagues.

MikeO Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 He's just scored for Beşiktaş to put them 3-0 up in a cup game. Seems to put to bed the rumour that he passed a medical at FF today. Matt and markjazzbassist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ceyhun Posted December 28, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 Our newspapers and websites says its nearly done since Cenk is positive about moving to Everton. You were offering 20m before they were pushing for 25 i believe, it would be hard to get more for a player from Turkey. He worth more for us but its hard to get that money so they would accept i believe. Now guys, learn this song Its from an old movie Tosun Pasha, since his surname is Tosun our team plays it after goals which is very fun for us ahaha markjazzbassist, Aidan, Newty82 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sir McGiven Posted December 28, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) Hey there, another Besiktas fan from Turkey. I have an Irish colleague who is a big time Everton fan, whenever we meet he likes to talk about Premier League and Everton. Because of him i am following Everton for a while now as i enjoy those moments where we discuss PL. I told him and i can tell same here; 1) Of course it is a gamble. We signed him for free 3 years ago. He was a promising striker back then, he couldn't make it into first 11 until last year and still goes on this year. There is no guarantee that he can adapt himself into PL style of football but it is valid nearly for all foreigners outside of UK. I can say, i am pretty sure he can success if he manage to adapt. Additionally in the beginning of his career, he trained in Germany. (Ein. Frankfurt 2007 - 2011) I think his disciplined culture is from Germany as it is hard to find a disciplined national player in Turkey. (By saying disciplined who pays attention in trainings, takes care of himself after the trainings, before and after match day etc.) 2) The reason he couldn't make it that he was behind Demba Ba, Mario Gomez and Aboubakar. Usually they were the main strikers but as he indicated in his interviews, he never stopped, he took advantages of learning from those experienced strikes and a young gun like Abou. Besides the season, he kept working with his private coach during the whole summer time. 3) He has started to shine last year where he scored his magnificent goal against Benfica. (Voted as the best goal of the group stage last year) As you can see, he is now rumoured for some PL teams. It is a good indicator for us to see how he developed at Besiktas because i don't even remember who was the last footballer signed by a PL team from Turkey. (I think it was Alpay from Fenerbahce to Aston Villa in 2000 for 9m euros) 4) He has a good first touch, in my opinion it can be very crucial to success for the strikers/attacking midfielders in PL. He is a solid finisher. He can play as AML, as well as a striker. 5) He is ambitious but this ambition is not leading him into trouble. I mean, maybe sometimes but it is rare. 6) He is a great personality on and off the pitch. tl;dr If he can manage to adapt in to PL style of football, he can make an impact for Everton. He is a good signing for the rumoured price. As soon as the transfer announced, i can only hope the best for him as we enjoyed his time in Besiktas and hope glories for the Toffees and less heart attacks for my colleague Brian. Take a good care of him. Oh and sorry for the typos and grammer.

Finn balor Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 I’m hopeful we get him not that I know anything about him but your paying the same amount for a championship striker these days.
