And 5 assists. And a lot of those appearances were from the bench. And he's a winger not a striker. And Besiktas fans f*cking love him. He was unquestionably a success in Turkey. Don't try and spin it lol.
Another interesting comment from Russ in addition to the above was that he made a point of highlighting that he was appreciative that the ownership completed the deals for Manning and Charles 'when we reached a point where we had to move' - sounds like we have irons in the fire but are having to drag things out because we need to get people moving out of the club first. Presumably we were at a stage where Manning's camp and Man City were going to push things on with another club and so Solak had to sign off on just getting them in immediately to avoid losing them altogether.
Do they perform psychological tests in the medical, I wonder? Edit: Alex Crook is saying that it wasn't a medical issue, so it's probable that they discovered Lyanco only has one leg.
One of the clauses that Besiktas rejected was the one where he gets to bite the head of a bat every time a teammate scores an own goal.
Pretty annoying that that’s fallen through at the last moment. We still have so many players to shift!
Daily Mail reporting that if we sell Livramento we will use some of the money to try to buy Max Aarons from Norwich City.
