Tufan wasn’t better than any of the midfielders picked over him either. He was decent for us, not the mercurial talent some make out though
He was a lot better than Yokuslu, and he was a regular in NT for 5 years, he missed last 2 years, but still has more caps than Yazici.
Very happy at the thought of Giles staying, as long as we can still afford to plug gaps elsewhere. In a more attacking system we'll hopefully see the player that Luton bought. If a few of the young lads can step up then hopefully the job isn't quite as hefty.
This is a really weird angle. He's a journalist. Getting snippets from the club is exactly what he needs for his job. The club and Baz/HDM obviously have a pretty good relationship. No idea why some are so obsessed with slamming the guy.
Yep. Baz frustrates me sometimes with how much he gets sucked in by Acun's spin but at the end of the day it's his job and how he earns a crust. Some people are far, far too personal about journos.
nothing against Baz personally but it’s evident he’s that close with the hierachy he can’t/wont criticise them when it’s appropriate. He’s never written about the infamous Q&A and there’s a lot that should’ve rightly been criticised for
Anyway, as I said, he won't accept an offer from Hull. Tufan's departure reason was losing NT spot, believe me all Turkish NT players will snub Championship teams to be not like him.[/QUOTE] I'm not so sure that's true, Yokuşlu has shown you can get called up from the championship if you're playing well enough. Tufan dropped out of contention due to performances over a long period and although he had a pretty good season with regards to numbers is probably not even close to a call up as the players ahead of him are just better. Omur was very close to going to the Euros and I'm sure fancies getting back in the team if he can start delivering some goals and assists along with his good performances.
That's nonsense Tufan wasn't playing for Turkiye before he came to us, when he was at Fenerbache he never played for Turkiye. In fact, the last time he did he was at Watford.. in the Championship. So, utter bollocks!
That's his job, to report it. It's us that need to be critical. In this day and age, for him to be an objective media personality is incredibly rare and as much as I like Baz, I don't really want to hear his opinions in his pieces. I want him to tell me the facts and I'll decide if I'm happy with it or not.
Sorry I meant when he went back from his loan at Watford to Fener in February 2022. Not before he went to Watford.
I saw Fenerbahce have recalled Lincoln, do you think they'd let us have him? His loan to Brazil wasn't exactly a success. Crespo also looks to be on his way out.
Not at this stage in his career. Well they might be looking but they're not getting it. He's how old and has had one good season.
