Sir-un-ju apparently. 
 

Sorry, I’m sounding like a Cags fan girl here, I’m not although he’s a bloody legend. I watched an interview in Turkish a while ago where he said his name and it stuck with me. I’m also very interested in linguistics etc. 

Hello stranger!

I agree. I think Cags as a nickname is a tad disrespectful though perhaps he doesn't mind. Chaalar is not difficult to say correctly. 

I think the players call him Cags don’t they, so maybe he doesn’t. 
 

Anyway I’m sure Chaalar Sirunju would appreciate us trying to say his name properly.

World class - reminds me of Sergio Ramos.

Thats actually a very good comparison for him. Caglar covers depth in standard situations with ease, constantly manipulating his defensive positioning in slight ways to the tune of his surroundings. His ability to do this comes from reaction speeds that make his deliberate movements look more like reflexive actions.

 

Caglars ability to plug holes in chaotic or non-existent defensive transition is enough to solidify him as one of the EPL's best defenders, and he is also an extremely good passer and possesses world class press resistance, which greatly enhances a player’s defensive value given the pressing-focused nature of the modern game. He can fit any system, I wouldnt be suprised if Barcelona or Man City makes a bid for him.

Is he gonna be the first defender to go for more than hundred million???

If he keeps playing like this in the EPL and plays great in the euros in the summer he has a big chance especially considering hes still young

Katy, do you have a “ Chalaar Sirunju “ duvet and pillow set on your Christmas wish list ? 

[Countryfox]

My mate eats a lot of Turkish delight and he says it’s pronounced coggle-eee ...   personally though I think we should just call him Dave ..  

 

Never had this problem with Hairy Mageer ...   

[Al-aLondon-Foxile]

I just hope he stays grounded, and doesn’t become a big time Chaalar

Caglar Soyuncu thread = 47 pages of how the hell do you pronounce his name.

 

OHL thread = 110 pages of how the hell do you figure out Belgian playoffs and playdowns.

 

Foxes Talk.  We grapple with the most vexing questions of our time.

 

                                 

 

 

 

I literally laughed out loud in the office!

His value according to transermarkt went up from 20m to 40m which is insane for 4/5 months. I wonder how much he will be worth at the end if this year

Prime target for Man City...   If Harry M had been injured and wanted his place back - would he get it?   Prob not (sorry of this was covered pages 35-30 or something and I missed it..)

Let's not call him Charlie. It's not too difficult to say Chaalaa which in think some mentioned was the correct pronunciation.

 

It really bugs me when people have to take on an English name as no-one can be bothered to learn their name.

 

Sounds like a Scousers response after being asked... ‘tea or coffee?’

All you need to do is put his name into Google translate with the accents on, set to translate from English to Turkish, press the audio, that should come out with the correct pronunciation.

[majaco]

 Five syllable name is really tough.  I was glad when Danny Drinkwater moved on.  I possible to say.

Every time I hear his first name... This! 

For the old school anime folks between 30 to 40.

But I hope one day there's a montage of headed goals by Caglar to this track.

It just... Fits! 

 

OMG! I've found an English version. 

The chorus is the part that you all want to get to, to understand why I want a montage of Caglar headers.
