Strengths

Soyuncu, a ball-playing centre-back who’s always willing to start attacks from behind, combines combative character and physical presence with elegance, prompting comparisons with Mats Hummels. The Turk possesses a brilliant range of passing, and is able to send precise long balls with both feet.

Originally right-footed, Soyuncu worked countless hours on his left, and now it's quite difficult to spot the difference – especially because he mostly plays as a left-sided stopper. At 6ft 2in he isn’t bad in the air either, although his positioning isn't always perfect.

The young stopper is dedicated, hard-working, humble and always willing to learn. Having come from a modest background he hasn't changed his attitude after becoming more famous, as his choice of Freiburg clearly shows. His role models are also indicative – apart from Hummels, the stopper admires Carles Puyol and Diego Lugano. Whoever signs Soyuncu would get an excellent professional with outstanding potential.

 

Weaknesses

Soyuncu is not the finished article by any means. His positioning is improving, but he still has a lot to learn and he’s caught in the wrong spot quite often.

His tendency to act as a playmaker from deep has also led to some careless decisions – although some would call them bold. Scoring isn’t his strongest asset either yet, as just one goal in two Bundesliga seasons shows.

The Turk is still very inexperienced at the top level, and mistakes would be unavoidable. He certainly shouldn't sign for a manager who doesn't trust young players, because such a move could ruin his career.

I'm not sure if he's our new centre half or the messiah tbf. Him and Maguire could smash it.

So if reports are correct we've signed Soyunca and Benkovic.

 

Leon Bailey in tomorrow and our incoming transfer business is done. :cool:

Doesn’t make great reading for poor Wes

Looks even worse for Evans. A negative defense score doesn't look great, whatever that means :unsure:

Why does his first name sound like some villain from the Marvel universe.

Don’t panic, we’ve got Sir Rudkin in charge... what could possibly go wrong?

We need more numbers in defence anyway. Morgan is in last season. Huth has gone. Benaluane will be gone by next season. Johnson hasn't signed a contract.

 

Getting this guy and the other guy in is good forward planning by the club. Especially if Maguire might go at the end of the season or mid season.

 

 

 

Yeah agree with this. Seems good succession planning.

 

Benaluane gone asap, Morgan & Maguire probably next summer, so in 12 months time it will be Evans, Benkovic, Soyuncu & Johnson & Sam Hughes pushing.

 

Gives Benkovic & Soyuncu 12 months to get used to England & English football, play a few games/cup games etc & then be first choices next summer
