Has he got a social media team on payroll? All seems a bit slick. Like the club is handling his exit on socials.

Wouldn’t be hard to find some kid on Twitter or instagram to whip up a short montage. It’s what a lot of players do

Most Turkish players made it to Fener and Gala have social media teams, they make a lot of revenue from ads, enourmous amount of people are on social media in Turkey.

There is a guy with long hair, that I forgot his name, he has an advertising agency and most of the Euro 16 team works with him. Arda Turan, Belozoglu, Burak Yilmaz, Ozan Tufan etc.

Edit: I just remembered, Okan Can Yantir, Arda Turan has small share in his company.

@oozkan , what is the deal with Sinik ? Was he well regarded in Turkey ?

Why did we sign him ? He doesn't seem to have done much

I believe he was 22 when he signed Hull, right? He was playing in Super Lig regularly, there were rumours that big clubs are following but not good enough to be part of them. I think he scored 2 goals in a friendly game of national team just before signing Hull, after that game Acun signed him in short period. He probably thought he is stealing a gem from 4 giants before they notice, but in reality he was around for 4 seasons and clubs were just not convinced about his athleticism.

Both might end up in UK, but probably a ****e league called Premier.

Arsenal and Dortmund are keen on Kadioglu for a while. Mou wants to keep him.

And Yildiz feels he deserves more than being backup at Juve, Juve plays with literally 1.5 attacker. Striker plus Chiesa.
 
Turkey is heaven for
I think he does have pace and is a decent dribbler but we’ve just not seen enough to form an opinion on his abilities whatsoever. He’s just always injured and his overall fitness isn’t great.
I'd differ pace and acceleration.

Turkey has a lot wingers with quick legs, that accelerates well but not good at top speed, not enough strength also. Sinik is one of them, general athleticism is pretty low. If you check wingers in Turkey, you will always notice smaller shoulders, unlike premier league guys. Some say it is lack of protein in diet when they were teenager, some say it is Messi-fetish, although Messi has quite ok, not great but still ok upper body.

I don't really know, but it is a general trend academics noticed, there are even articles about it, except Baris Alper Yilmaz, he is an outlier.
