I like all 3 but I think we need a striker who is really going to make Tosun worry about his starting position and hopefully take him to another level. Even now teams play one up front I think you need 4 centre forwards. We're weak through the whole spine of the team but at moment CF is the least of the problems compared to centre back and centre mid. I hope Brands and the scouting team are already looking at options for the next transfer window or next summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 With the way he is being asked to play, I doubt he'll be a 20 goals a season striker BUT, if his performances keep on, he's going to prove valuable in helping the team score more. He keeps the defenders busy and seems to either look to hold up the ball or go out wide to receive the ball...both seem to allow our other attacking players more space centrally. Really working his arse off for the team at the moment. Sir McGiven, StevO, Matt and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can have a queit game in terms of chances and then bang one in from an acute angle 20 yards from goal. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way they are interchanging suggests they will all get plenty of opportunities. nutmegwolf203 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Reminds me of the German World Cup winning team. Their strikers were basically a foil for Muller to play off. The same with the France World Cup team where Giroud didn’t even have a shot on target but the players around him scored for fun.

Zoo 2.0 Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Cenk's defending was brilliant yesterday too, ran his socks off for the time he was on the pitch and from closing down the Southampton back four they had to constantly pump it upfield as opposed to playing out from the back. Last season we would have sat back until they were in our final third however with Tosun running around like a pitbull, teams are having to go route one against us which will be perfect when we have Yerry Mina and/or Michael Keane and Kurt Zouma at the back. Also, massive thumbs up for this too. Doesn't take a lot but means everything to the fans. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect example of how a striker can and should impact the team without relying on scoring stats to justify his place. The goals will come. He is doing a role similar to firminho at Liverpool - helping the attacking mids get forward with confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir McGiven Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 The only thing he is missing is pace, it is unlikely it can be improved but on the other areas for a striker, he offers a perfect work-rate. I still think he will eventually will be judged on goal scoring but I am confident he will bang enough until the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 It’s the outside I think, more a flick than a pass. He whom shall not be named had this in his locker. Ro. .......! It’s the vision that’s most impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have watched it a few times to see how he did it but I am still not sure! It looks like he just takes the pace of it with his instep and the angle of his foot guides into the path of his teammate.

Hafnia Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Already seen some "Turkish Straq" shouts on Twitter. Beyond thick the people who think that. He's a steady 7 player with a smattering of 8 and 9's. It's clear as day what his role is.... he's a pivot point. Bloody good at it too. Teammates love him... clearly a good character.
