I confess, when the Sam Allerdyce part came up, I skipped it

BBC Turkish made an interview with Cenk, I'll try to translate it for you. 
 
 
(You mostly know what he has said in his previous interviews, so I'll only translate the new things he's saying here. )
 
"I stay in Manchester now but I found a house in Liverpool and I'll buy it to move there soon."
"I usually spend my free time with my wife in Liverpool, Manchester and Cheshire. I also started driving a car, I got used to the traffic and the opposite side steering wheel."
"The game is being played so fast here and I adapted it."
"This matchday is against Liverpool, I'm excited to face them. I'm hoping to score in front of my crowd and hoping to get the 3 points for them."
"I'm trying to give advices to my friends in national team. The thing I mention is, they have to feel like a local person when they go abroad. If you keep living the same lifestyle, you can't succeed." (I think that's the most important sentence in whole interview, most of the Turkish players came back to Turkey because they refused to change/adapt the new country but Cenk knows the right formula.) 
"Self-esteem is very important for a striker, I feel confident in the pitch now."
"I think Ronaldo's goal was better than Zlatan's. But they both were superb goals."
"I had no difficulty with English when I went to USA. It was also easy to understand people in London. In here, they talk with scouse accent and when they speak fast, I miss some words and ask them to speak slower. "
"I love fish & chips"
"My best friend here is Davy Klaassen"
"I love the English supporters. They dedicate everything in matchdays. From the morning till midnight."
(a message to Turkish supporters) "Keep supporting me here and I'll make you proud"

By the way, just to underline that he did mention Sam in this interview by saying; "When I first arrived, I wasn't ready because Turkish league was on a break and EPL was going on, Sam said 'We need to work on your physical attributes' and I've started to do some extra training after scheduled training. After that he informed me on that he will use me as a substitute for a couple of upcoming matches, just to protect me."
I think my fellow Turkish friend @Tanora forgot to translate that part but I think it is an important part just because of some reactions which were posted here while Cenk wasn't playing as a starter.  On this subject, even I was thinking Sam was humiliating him by not letting him play but according to Cenk, Sam was trying to protect him from the fans with high expectations and Sam kindly informed him about it.
Of course, this does not justify how terrible manager he is

About Talisca - he makes you think "that man is as good as Ronaldinho" and "where did we get this crap player from" even in the same game.
+ Very talented player
+ Loves big matches 
+ Good free-kick taker
+ Good header/finisher
+ Decent attitude
 
- Doesn't like tackles, weak player
- Very inconsistent performer
- Injury prone 
 
Compared to Cenk, I wouldn't swap them if I was an Evertonian. (Well, I am )
 

I've seen the same news in the Turkish newspapers yesterday but it wasn't like this. In Turkish newspapers, it was like "Benfica once offered Talisca + 7m. to Besiktas before he is signed by Everton but Besiktas asked for Talisca + 12m. and rejected any other offers" but this one says that Benfica offered Talisca for Cenk to Everton. I just "lol" to this. 
First of all, Talisca is a really talented player but not a classic no. 10. He is more like a shadow striker or false 9. His set pieces and long shots are good as f... and heading is not bad. On the other hand, not a consistent performer even in the same game. He is the reason why Besiktas falling apart this year. The team has changed the tactical approach as he couldn't manage to play as a 10. So weak, can't get into tackles, if he does he losses it. He doesn't have any vision on the pitch, passes are average.
It is a funny and manipulated rumor. I don't know about Liverpool, don't think Klopp will want a midfielder like Talisca in his team but yes, there are rumors that Mourinho really looking forward to signing him and as far as I know, he praised him already by showing his intention but he added "it is unlikely for him to get a work permit in the UK" as he is not a regular Brazilian national. For this national break, he received a call but couldn't even make it into the game. 1st game he was a sub, their manager didn't even use him and on the 2nd game, he wasn't even in the squad.
The dilemma here is, his loan contract with Besiktas will end at the end of the season. Until the end of his loan contract, if Besiktas offers 21m. to Benfica, we have the first option to sign him. Last year, they were up to it but this year he has been a total disappointment. So it is unlikely Besiktas will offer what they receive from Everton for Cenk's deal and risk all of it for Talisca. Turkish clubs don't have that luxury. Also, he used the talk about Benfica publicly, I mean he was criticizing the team, and neither the club itself nor the fans want him back. I think his agent up to something. Why do you even call a player that you are not going to use or even put in the subs as a Brazilian manager? Maybe his agent kindly said "look, I am trying to sell him to another team. just call him..." and spreading this kind of bullshit report to the media as well. That's what I think.
Absolutely, not an Everton-kind player. I don't know if he improves in the future but with his current shape, it'll be a huge fail for any team who signs him. 
 

no thanks let's keep Cenk he's the exact type of blue collar striker we need.

I'm proud of him today. Great goal.

Well, I have to say I was a bit disappointed when I saw him on the bench for a couple of games. %90 of the Turkish players would give up in that situation but he kept working and deserved to play in starting 11. I owe an apology to Sam. I still think he's not a great manager but he did the right thing about Cenk and I was wrong.
Anyway, if something ends up well, there's nothing to complain about it. 
 
2 goals in 2 games, first 90 minutes, first goal in home game; looks like Cenk's enjoying his time in Everton and PL nowadays. And I can say that's only the preview. Once he fully adapts there, you can expect more goals with more creativity. He was like a magician here; every time we saw a different trick and he scored better/harder goals each time. You'll see that too. Enjoy.
