I'll take that bet. 

 

Absolutely no chance. 

 

It's a marathon not a sprint. He'll probably start against Hull and that's fine. 

He could be registered in time for the Tranmere game?

Maybe but I'd be surprised if he had anything but a cameo off the bench if so. 

[Sly]

He reminds me of Ghezzel. 
 

Ghezzel would have been okay in the Champuonship.

Harsh. 

 

I know Akgün doesn't have JJ kinda pace but Ghezzal couldn't outrun Vestergaard. 

[foxfanazer]

So is he any good or not?

 

Or shall we give him the customary Foxestalk 45 minutes to prove himself

Thats the Leicester pull, players see us as a big Prem team despite our current situation and they look forward to a new journey.

We just jest with @Ric Flair on how wrong he got it on Tete but in fairness Rodgers hampered the decent players we had with his style. Tete should have been a nuisance but Rogers took that Brazilian flair away from us. When he was shouting at Alves 3 touches, yes fck off Rogers you Berkshire Hunt. So hopefully these additions and possibly including Abdul Fatawu Issahaku we'll see tricky driving runs that these player's have been bought to play. 

 

Get more players in the box and we'll have better success against deep blocks. Especially back end of matches. 

Kristiansen, Souttar, Tete, Soumaré, Faes

 

I don't think we can make proper judgements about any of these players because of the Rodgers factor.

 

Poor sods jumped onto a rotten deck

TBH rudkin pulled off a good deal here

 

small loan fee. Gives us 25 games at him to make a decision. 
 

 

 

It's ideal, we have a player who has great potential but could also flop. Taking him on loan for a small fee with a 25 game trigger means it has lots of potential upside with little downside.

 

Under had a similar profile when he came here, at his peak he was considered a wonderkid with a high ceiling but we seen very little evidence of that and dodged a bullet. 25 games is ample time to either trigger it or slow it down so we're not obligated.

Well Enzo has apparently made a proper judgement that he doesn't want/need Kristiansen, Souttar and Soumaré.

Let’s not do that.

 

the facts- he’s a winger that we are signing. Not the best prognosis.

I’ve never found a business or first class service that brought my luggage away from the riffraff 

 

I’m sure they exist but won’t be on Turkish to brum

however, if he and his agent only have small cases then they can have stuck them in the overhead on business and he could send larger luggage on via courier or more likely he will go back to Istanbul early next week to pack extensively and return 

Was in business class Bham to Newark. Fuchs got his own bags off the carousel. Was too scared to say hello…

Not just them. Bar Maddison, Brendan brodgered every single player we had, mentally or physically or both, over an 18 month to two year period. 

[KFS]

Can he or the other lad play LW too if needed?

Given his contract reportedly includes a buy clause related to number of appearances I’m guessing we won’t use him in the cups, at least initially 

[LVFox]

Rudkin went to Turkey

To go and get his teeth done

Instead he found a winger

His name is Yunus Akgun

He scores them with his left foot

He scores them with his right

**** me Jon, you've finally signed a lad who's dynamite!

I hear he thrived in a counter attacking system in 21-22 but massively struggled against low blocks for Galatasaray. Currently we are a heavily possession based team facing low blocks most weeks.

 

Do you think Akgun has what it takes to play in such a system or have we targetted the wrong profile of player?

he can contribute coming off the bench. But he'll definitely struggle against low blocks as you mentioned. I guess whether he is the wrong player for you depends on your aim here.

Tete has an extremely good track record in domestic football. 

 

The one blip on his career is a loan spell at a relegation threatened club with a manager that didn't appear to want him. 

 

People really need to get it in to their heads that he's a much better footballer than we saw in a few months here. 

As was Under.
