Stan 5,278 Posted January 4, 2018 i reckon he's getting injured first game he plays Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RandoEFC 2,567 Posted January 4, 2018 Would hope he's confirmed in time to play tomorrow but it seems unlikely. Will he solve our problems? Hopefully one of them. Even if he's excellent, we still need a left back, centre back, defensive midfielder and a winger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HK85 267 Posted January 4, 2018 If he can create goals for himself, whilst also winning the ball in midfield and being a solid defender then yeah, he'll solve our problems. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LFCMadLad 1,200 Posted January 4, 2018 Erm... I don’t really get this signing to be honest. He’s not what you’d call prolific in a very poor league so I’m not sure how he’d fare in the Premiere League? i don’t get why Everton aren’t going all out for a proven goal scorer at this level? Theo Walcott when played consistently has always scored goals, maybe he’d be worth a punt? Why not a cheeky bid for Jamie Vardy? Tosun just seems like another Everton signing that will flatter to deceive and be forgotten about within 3 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He’s played little on the wing, little over the past five or so years and he’s not exactly a 15 goal striker. Plus he’s 28/29 now, it’s not exactly a good signing at all.

You cant really compare a 27 year olds CL record with 2 players that have 1 CL campaign’s under their belts. That really bends the stats mate.

I might be wrong and I really can’t be arsed to research it but I’m pretty sure, when played regularly, Walcott has scored over 15 goals a season a fair few times? Anyway, I’m not saying Walcott is the answer. I was just throwing a name into the mix. As I said, Tosun might be the answer but if you are bringing age into then Tosun is about 27 himself is he not?

RandoEFC 2,567 Posted January 4, 2018 Tosun cant be worse than what we have and in this market it's a good signing if he gets about 8 goals in the second half of the season for £27m Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ten last year, three the previous three and 14 before that. That’s as far as I looked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DNA 32 Posted January 5, 2018 If it's works out.. it's a steal, if not, you have to wonder whether clubs going for players of this bracket for what is still a high price, should just pay over the odds (20/30m more) for a proven article is the way to go. Although I understand Everton did have a pop at trying to sign Costa and failed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harvsky 2,363 Posted January 6, 2018 For £27m around a 20 league goal return is required imo. It would be a lot of money to pay if he's a 10-15 goal man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danny 815 Posted January 6, 2018 It's not like he's moving to a big club after trophies, he's moving to a club who are associated with a top ten-6 position finish who are managed by Sam Allardyce. As long as he scores 15-20 goals a season they'll be laughing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Palace Fan 1,497 Posted February 12, 2018 Everton boss Sam Allardyce says new signing Cenk Tosun has to work harder on his fitness if he is to cope with life in the Premier League. Everton fly to the Middle East on Wednesday for a warm-weather training camp, and Allardyce is hoping the break will help Tosun who has struggled with his fitness and the English weather. The Turkish striker arrived from Besiktas for £27m in January but has failed to break into the Everton side, starting just two games since arriving from Turkey.

Mel81x 825 Posted February 12, 2018 Im curious what warm-weather training does for a person who needs to improve their performance/fitness in a much colder climate? I'd imagine it doesn't do them too much good considering the two air densities are completely different from each other? ELI5 please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cold weather makes muscles tighter, which makes cramps, strains, and tears more likely. Warm weather training can mean more intense training is possible with a smaller risk of injury.
