Well, we do have 4 LB's currently!!!
Absolutely bonkers isn't it!
As others have said, Giles looked poor v FB. Ok, he was playing further up, but still. No pace to take on a man. Attempted crosses getting easily blocked. etc. There must be way more to him than we've seen, otherwise why would Boro be so keen on getting him back, and for a likely fee of £3+ million.

For me ... Giles couldnt give a 4X the other evening... senior(isn) player swanning around, shaking his head when he came off... and I repeat, he gets one ball in 10 past the first defender...

He knows he is going so didn’t want to pick up an injury.

They did specify that he was the sole owner of Acun Medya though:

I completely agree though, he's obviously either worth more than the reported 80-100m or he's got other investment into the club. I was countering that person who was pointing to his wealth relative to the Allams'.
It's a no brainer for him to buy the club through his company. He can transfer losses for tax relief, much easier to get a loan to purchase the club (which he did through his company) and it forms part of the group structure.

Didn't suggest otherwise.

Are they no longer ladybirds? PC gone mad. Anyway whatever they're called they weren't very lucky some years ago when there were millions of them in brid, you couldn't take a step on the promenade without killing hundreds of them. Probably late 60s or early 70s
 
While it seems likely, have you anything other than earlier media giving you that opinion?

Giles is interested in a return to the Riverside and
we will not stand in the way of a player wanting to leave.
No interview with him about how happy he is joining us on a permanent.
Rumour not going away and hotting up again.

Yokuşlu to Trabzonspor?

Every time someone brought his name up in these forums, I told 4 giants want him, no chance. I hope Tan and Acun won't lose more time on him.

Sometimes I feel like I know more about Turkish football than Acun and Tan.
 
Stay calm lads, it’s obvious that all 10+ targets are delayed due all of them having been on international duty for there respective countries and are currently on a well earned holiday. If we want to see a mixture of aggressive attacking football and bigger success than Bruce’s , we are going to have to be patient. If anyone wishes to join me on my planet your all more than welcome and woods navy rum 57% is also a big help

Are you sure that we are signing any internationals, I don't see too many options when I check players in Euro or Copa America.

Which is what I was trying to say earlier
Why are the club doing This?
Money problems
Acun losing interest
Money laundering?
Anything else ??

It was touted in the press and online that Acun was looking to buy NK Maribor of Slovenia via his media company - Acun Medya, but has the purchase ever been confirmed? I can find information about him speaking to Maribor about a possible purchase but no confirmation of a sale actually taking place.
Also weird that McVities are no longer sponsoring us, and no input financially from Murat Ulker.

Possible cashflow issues?

Turkish media says it happened already. Motive was to own a club that can feed Hull better than Shelbourne.

But there are also other things like close ties with Ceferin so we will see soon. Maribor fans have similar complain about lack of transfers, 2 players brought in so far, one is again Westerlo, where Turkish clubs offload their players owned by a Turkish fella.
