I'd say more Shakiri if anything - you decide whether that's a good thing or bad

I actually think it could have been a good thing. He chose a totally inappropriate team for his skills and has now wasted critical development years there.

Mata or Shaqiri..... either way it's a good deal for 9m

On the basis of a ScoutNation 16/17 YouTube summary, I endorse this signing. For your information, I was a card-carrying member of the little-populated campaign for us to sign Soufiane Boufal this time last year, which shows the unerring prescience of my judgement. :oops: But for your further information, I had a similar level of enthusiasm for us to sign Gareth Bale in summer 2007. :woot: So you can conclude that my endorsement is a terrible and/or fantastic omen as appropriate.

To get non-flippant for just a brief moment, I don't suppose that it would be good news for Marcus Edwards and even possibly Lamela if we were to sign this kid, because Under looks like he'd be playing in any of the 3 potential AM positions that they themselves are already fighting for behind Alli, Son and Eriksen.

I don't think it changes much. Lamela and Sissoko are very likely to move on. I doubt Edwards honestly believed he'd be starting next year.... the way I see it he's still fighting for a bench spot but he's now fighting against someone with as little experience as he has and then possibly N'Koudou. If he's any good he should be backing himself in from there.

Question for those who know.....

Does Marcus Edwards have a similar style to the clips we've seen of this lad??

Just trying to understand a bit more on what player we already have on our books

Marcus Edwards not as good at present. Potential we know. Marcus not as developed. Seems to always be an issue with him also. That is an opinion of mine.

What reason have we to think this? Think he'll stay personally.

So have we signed him or is this just another SC jumping to conclusions thread?

Looks quality to me, even in the Turkish league. Could very much understand why Poch would like him considering how comfortable he looks on the ball in tight areas.


Hes got that tenacious fiesty element to him to add, he doesnt seem afraid to get stuck in to add not a push over on the ball either , therefore good stead for the PL.

I can't say for others but for me he hasn't played in a year so his contract has run down further, there must be questions around his recovery prognosis and he seems more at home in Italy, where he still retains plenty of trade value. I reasonably sure at a decent price Levy will look to move him on.

It's up to Poch though and he has always liked/picked him when fit.
Lamela will be with us next season.

This boy really does look like an exceptional talent. Imagine how good he could be under Poch!!:eek:

Despite the claims an agreement has been struck, Ajansspor reported in a later article that Basaksehir club president Goksel Gumusdag poured cold water on the rumours.

He told Radyospor of the current situation: "There is no such thing at present."


Probably nothing gonna happen.:rolleyes:
