It’s a massive gamble on someone his parent club didn’t feel that he was achieving his potential, is that better.
obviously you will have seen every minute of his games unlike us.
This is cast iron certainty then and not a gamble on an unknown unproven 20 year old

No transfer is ever a certainty, Fenerbahce is on a completely different level to us.

I never really understand the term proven and what is meant by it. Players like Chris Martin, Jordan Hugill are technically proven at this level but I wouldn't go near them with a bargepole and shelling out stupid money on a Brereton is crazy

We've made the news in Turkey...

If this does come to fruition, I think it is quite a clever deal, minimises what you have to pay for the player, you get 50% of the profit if he does succeed, but should at least get back what you paid for him if he doesn't quite hit the heights expected.

Fenerbache have too many foreign players to be able to give him a chance, Ukrainian first division isn't a mugs league.

Never was in a Russian League. Were in a USSR one. They used to basically pick the national side from the couple of leading clubs. I remember at one World Cup John Motson referring to Russia all through the game (the jnitials CCCP should have give him a clue). In one game the team consisted of Dynamo Kiev of Ukraine and Dynamos Tblisi of Georgia players. Not one spoke Russian as a first language.

The USSR was commonly referred to as Soviet Russia. Motson was following what was the norm.

The linesman effectionally known as Russian limo...

I get given the turkish connection that we are going to see a lot linked from them leagues...

It's odd we are seeing any from anywhere else really, England also (Slater aside).

The state was referred to as the Soviet Union. Russia was just one part of it. CCCP makes no mention of Russia. Some of the Subnday papers like the Observer took the Mickey out of Motson about it at the time.
Anyone in Azerbaijan would take umbrage at the linesman being described as Russian. <laugh>He had been a good footballer. They renamed their national stadium after him when he died, though they have built a new one since to replace it. There was an interesting documentary about him on TV a while ago. Still wouldn't know his name without looking it up. Or be able to pronounce it most likely.
 
I’m putting two and two together here a tad,but seeing as he is part of Tan Kesler’s sports agency,I’m predicting a deadline day deal for one Kazim Kazim (Colin Kazim-Richards).
