Also, sticking with the Norwich theme (and thereby violating our new golden rule, sorry about that), assuming they don't sell anybody their forward line with players like Idah, Sainz, Sargent, Fassnacht and Hernandez is going to take some stopping. I think they'll be gunning for automatic promotion unless they get their players nicked.
they've got to sell, parachute payments have run out for them now as well. they broke
 
Damn it is hard to chase this thread.

But finally a striker with decent goalscoring history mentioned, good news.

For me football is simple, find a striker who can score at least half of games, find a good keeper with reliable hands - I don't ****ing care about their legs, and finally, find midfielders who can run and pass at decent level, not only good at one of them. Rest of the positions can be filled somehow, most of the line-backs were wingers in youth level. At this level, these full back positions only requires good level athleticism, any player from 2nd tier French league can fill those, it is not Champions League in the end.

And if Acun is eager to bring Turkish talent, I mean if he really wants Turkish presence in team, I don't want Fener offloads anymore, please go for young and physical ones, they are pretty cheap also. Akturkoglu, great sprinter, signed Galatasaray from 3rd league, for free, Yilmaz signed from lower league plays like a beast, for a million or two and Yuksek signed Fenerbahce from Tier-4, all physical and consistent players.

For example Enis Destan, Oguz Aydin, Levent Mercan (was a good option but signed Fener). Don't go for players technically gifted but lacks physicality, like Sinik. Considering slow tempo of Turkish league, those guys will be crushed in Championship, both game tempo and match count will kill them.

Problem is you’d never get a work permit for a Turkish 3rd or 4th division player.
 
Well, not last year. He barely played, which is why I'm a tad concerned about signing him. I'd rather we went for Karamoko Dembele who had a cracking season for Blackpool and wouldn't cost a penny.

Or even better, give Sincere Hall a run, he's ace.
Genuine question as I have never seen him play, though obviously had good reports... is Sincere Hall a name here to stay...?.. will he get a chance does anyone think...?

If he can make an impact in pre season, he has a good chance of being in the first team picture.

He's direct, he's quick and he's confident on the ball. Outside of a lack of first team experience, he's a great prospect that's gone under the radar a bit.

He also has international caps for his country, but has never made a first team appearance. Only one other person associated with Hull City can say that.

Most of them either German or German-hinterland (Austria, Netherlands, Belgium etc.). Turkish leagues are full of Bundesliga drop outs, they prefer to come Turkey for money and possibility to jump giants rather playing in Bundesliga 2 or regional divisions. 2 of 3 examples I provided was Oguz Aydin, Dutch-born, Levent Mercan German-born.
 
Having Championship experience in the squad can be important but I'm still hoping Tim has suggested some little known gems to sign, a bit like when Ange went to Celtic and brought in Kyogo, Maeda and Hatate.
