Quite a few Turkish sources saying he’ll play the Molde game before flying to England

Very strange way to do business. An injury and the whole deal is off. 

I am starting to question these Turkish sources. Have we had any credible UK sources suggest this is happening and not just parrot the Turkish ones?

Percy?

Hopefully it’s bullshit, don’t want him. Doesn’t seem

good enough, we’d do well to give him a swerve.

Oh you've seen him play?  Please tell us more about him.

Am I reading this right? Do the Galatasaray fans call him Dolphin?

He’s no dog, he’s a dolphin. He just doesn’t live in the sea.

Flipper?

Better we only play him in the rain. Maybe that's why they say his finishing composure is Zero. He's dehydrated.

So we have a sweet price, a little cabbage, now we’ll have a dolphin.

If GTF was still here we’d have a whale as well

this smells of a ghazzel signing 💀

I’m less than convinced on this one but I think that’s an unfair parallel to draw. Monaco fans were actively telling us how terrible Ghezzal was and couldn’t believe their luck. By and large, Galatasaray fans seem to think there’s a player in Akgun.

For every Mahrez, there's a Ghazzel, for every Kante there's a Soumare, for every Vardy there's a Musa. The very nature of transfers means some will be successful, others not so. Signings like Cottee, Morgan, Simpson in the past and more so Winks recently were full of scepticism, but turned out to be shrewd buys. I agree, buying a talent from a league perceived not to be as good as ours is a risk, but sometimes they pay off. For a variety of reasons players scouted in their own league find it difficult to adapt to ours. Hopefully this is a loan with an option to buy so we can take a look at him at low risk.

I think it has all the hallmarks of a Mahrez signing. I'm not basing my view on any actual evidence, but I'm convinced I'm right.

No place for sound think and logic on here! Just attention seeking opinions! 😂

Ok folks. So the Turkish word for:

“Dolphin” is …… “Yunus” 

 

On the basis of that alone…. Gerrrimminnn!!! 
 

 

 

 

[Pliskin]

I think sometimes the success of a signing can depend on the manager too. 
 

I think with Ghezzal, he just never adapted to the game…. Puel wanted him, and I wonder if we actually did as a club? But he simply never settled.

 

Under I don’t think was wanted by Rodgers, which was abundantly clear with how little of a chance he was given, and I think that was the start of the breakdown between Rodgers and Cags…. 
 

With Tete, I will defend @Ric Flair, he is a quality player…. But he came into a side headed up by a bloke who would rather be anywhere else than Leicester, at this point in his tenure, he didn’t give a shit, most of the players didn’t give a shit, and the ownership was blissfully unaware that the club was unravelling like a mouldy fruit winder. 
 

The environment you enter as a player is vital, if it’s a negative one it’s extremely difficult for any player to flourish, look at any relegated team in history, how often do their January signings make a difference? Very rarely. 
 

As a club we are healing, Enzo is the perfect remedy for the issues we’re having, because he’s come from a club that’s run properly from head to toe, and he knows what he wants. So far, all of our signings have made sense, in previous years they haven’t….. for example Castagne was signed when we probably didn’t need him? Yes he’s been fairly steady for us, but the money spent on him could have been spent on a winger. The transfer policy has taken a nose dive over the last few years, and what I like about Enzo is he is signing players that will fit into his system….. which is what we need. 
 

If this lad comes in, it will be because of a particular trait Enzo wants….. like Harry Winks, for example….. statistically you think “how will he improve us, there’s no creativity”, but players like Winks are integral when you’re wanting to play like we are…. Every possession based team needs a catalyst to bring everything together, to be always available for the ball and to ensure the ball is kept moving…. Many great possession based teams have had players like this. 
 

Hopefully we can get this and a few more deals wrapped up, then HMS piss the league will be ready to properly set sail.

His second name in Kurdish means Battery ... so depending on where he's from...

Wonder if he dives a lot…

Not even kicked a ball for us yet but thanks for the insight Steve Walsh

Wonder if we'll be able to get a tuna outa him
