Re-signing Tufan on loan seems like a classic emotional Acun signing.

Great finisher, yes. But is he really what Selles wants? Is he really going to be Championship fit when he's been dicking about in Turkey for 6 months? Where's he going to play? People never wanted to admit it but he never really nailed down a particular position last time, he was a makeshift striker when we lacked strikers or a makeshift winger when we lacked wingers. He almost never played centre mid where he supposedly is best, because he couldn't get in there ahead of Seri, Slater or Morton. You'd imagine he'd have to play at #10, but Palmer is playing well there so what problem would that signing actually solve? I'd find it very hard to believe he'd be a Selles target.

He would provide goals from the 10 or would provide as a false 9.

Can we swap him for Omur please?
 
Tufan scores goals, that's good enough for me.
Thought he was a lazy fat turk and a scattergun signing?

One we made to get him off Feners books?

Seriously, if he would come back in the shape he was in last season's then I'd have him in a heartbeat.

If he's going to take another 3 months and a preseason to knock him back into shape, then he'd be better off in super lig.

Think Ozan even as just an impact sub would probably help us get over the line.

But that's dependent on him having the heart for it.
 
Theres no way he comes

But how could you even think of turning down signing tufan?

We are bottom of the league for christ sake with second lowest goals scored
Tufan is so much better than our ****e, he scored almost 20 league goals for us

A half cocked Ozan is no use.

A fully cocked Ozan could be season changing.

Problem we’ve had with Tufan & other players, such as Omur, is that we’ve had Managers who are overly obsessive about implementing their own playing style rather than implementing a system that would complement the player’s styles.

Football & football management is quite simple.. Make the most out of the players you have by implementing a system that suits. Drop the ego you needed as a player. Learn, quite quickly, the skills of people management.

Very much this, it’s why Phil Browns team worked so well, players playing a way that suited them. Specially after promotion and we started using that very unconventional 4-3-1-2.
 
Tufans the sort of player that makes watching football worth it
For every moment of dross and turgidness
One rare moment of magic feels amazing
