Has anyone actually seen Turan play regulary or our people just going off F***ing youtube videos because looking on here you would think he was world class. Never seen enough of the lad to convince me he's the answer, I remember Vorinin looking F***ing brilliant on youtube when we were getting him
Turan is most certainly the real deal. In attack he's fast, super creative, has great vision both on and off the ball, a good crosser, a quality dribbler who's not scared of taking his man on and is consistent week in, week out. Mentally, I feel he's got what it takes and he's also quite strong for a winger but to top it all off, he's a self-confessed Liverpool supporter. Only concerns are that we won't get him for under £20 million or possibly the fact that he's very attack minded could means we'll see him struggle to drop back to help out our defence, which could prove costly with Insua still developing the defending aspect of his game. Also, the obvious fact that he's untested in the EPL, but on an international and Turkish level he's brilliant. I still think if we can pick him up for £15million odd, that it will be a very solid piece of business.
edit: By week in, week out I meant I've personally watched him play about 10-12 games this season. I only follow the Turkish league because I have a friend who plays there. After Turan was explosive in Euro 2008 and the following year hearing the rumours linking him to Liverpool, I started actually watching some of his games if they don't clash with other leagues.
double edit: One final concern is his fitness if he makes the switch to the EPL but on a plus side I watched some videos linked in another thread and they reminded me of his cracking shot which I neglected to mention earlier. Also, with the news that VDV is on the market for ~£7m, that would be the last piece of the puzzle in my team. Would cost about £40million with all realistic targets except maybe Bonnart.
