BUT LADS WE COULD SPUNK A MILLION ON LOANING TOM CANNON!
The Turkish league is a bit crap, and signings from that league seem to be a mixed bag.
But if we are spending this kind of money on a player I have full confidence that Robins knows what he's doing and that he's going to be a good player for us. Some big, big clubs were interested in him.

Thick c**t
I just can’t believe the fee is £9m for him. He looks very raw and is 25 and hardly torn up any trees in worse leagues. I can’t wrap my head around it at all TBH. I think there’s always going to be a risk with a new recruitment team and a management team who haven’t had cash that we make a big money mistake. Well see.
It’s worrying because to our club isn’t used to spending this kind of cash.
can you two get a room? we're trying to make shit puns and bad jokes in here.
sorry, I just find it amusing that he has blocked me but still reads all my posts
he's a big fan really
I do, but with my limited maths it just seemed you were underestimatng the wages by a factor of 4
His goal scoring record in Turkey has been v good and his minutes to goal ratio just as good as Gyokeres. As much as I rated Gyokeres, there were times he was “clumsy and very raw”.
Again, we’ve just demanded €24m for Gyokeres who had one season left on his deal. Rangers, Villarreal and Palace have been linked/had bids rejected so it’s not just the whims of our recruitment team.
I’m optimistic that this signing would be a coup for the club and will be a fine striker in the Championship. The Turkish first division is a comparable league.
Any other suggestions? I can’t think of any, and it’s my main reason for being concerned at the price tag…
No. Hamer, O’Hare, and I think Sheaf are All rate higher IIRC.
van Ewijk is 74 I think too. For comparison I think Godden is 69 or 70 and Walker is 68. 71 is average mid table champ player really.
Does seem expensive but I guess they have done their homework. The clips i've seen I can see some echos of Viks style, powerful and direct. There is no way we are paying €9m upfront or even in installments. It will be heavily weighted on his goal scoring and if we get promoted, if he hits the targets and helps us get promotion it'll seem cheap. The Tweets and reports just focus on the highest numbers to grab attention just like like how Simms signed for '£8m' where its not even half of that
The rumour was €9m up front plus 20% sell on plus €2m in add ons. Doesn’t sound like the Simms deal to me.
Good for them, but Dzeko is now 37 years old. Classic Superliga signing.
Let's see how he does first before anyone says he's a waste of money, or cost too much.
The club must have seen something in him and that's good enough for me.

I saw that but highly doubt it is accurate, we'll not know until the accounts come out. Fuck it either way not our cash, won't bankrupt us as it is still the Vik money and if Robins wants him i'll trust his judgment.
Do really feel like the initial reports out of Turkey are just wishful thinking from their fans
Everyone is banned from using this term until after we've seen him play after the Kastaneer incident
You know, I’m still scratching my head wondering why our recruitment team don’t use FIFA / EA FC to sign players.
At the start of last season, the difference between Godden and Gyokeres was 2-3 overall points.
Leaving the fee aside, him and Simms up front should be an absolute handful and a half for any defence, at any level.
Signing a free agent from a relegated eredivisie team is slightly different to spending €9m on a player.
On the same merit, surely I could say because Hamer was a great signing, every player we sign abroad must be that good.
The question was asked! 3 points is the difference between average and outstanding TBF.
The difference between Gyokeres and Wright last season was 1 overall. So by the same logic Wright must be close to Gyokeres…
… Or we can stop using silly FIFA comparisons.
I mean we could use FM scouted attributes if we insist…
The sample size is as big as any other league, surely?
I’m just looking for an indication that a good goalscoring record in Turkey can translate to a good goalscoring record here.
