[RUMOUR] Salih Ucan

Hmmm premier league team and pay, working with Kompany, but live near Burnley, or el cheapo contract but join "London side" Watford.

 

Played a good amount of minutes at DM as well as CM last season. Looks a versatile all rounder, decent defensive stats + progression etc.

 

Our last Turkish midfielder was all-round too

 

Ucan-not be serious.

 

Agreed. He's just being Salih.

 

29 years old. Experienced pro rather than a young prospect.

 

My Turkish football contact rates our chances of signing him at 5.5/10. Make of that what you will.

 

When will we learn? Turkish players are s h i t.

 

Something for the kids. Get a chant out of this.

 

I hope his middle name doesn’t start with an L or I’d fear he’d go missing during matches.

 

So Salih can wait?

 

Salih don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

 

Ucan dance,
Ucan jive,
Having the time of your life,
Ooh, see that girl,
Watch that scene,
Digging the dancing queen.

He'll fookin' murder ya!

 

Ucan dance,
Ucan jive,
Having the time of your life,
Ooh, see that Turk,
Watch that scene,
Digging the midfield work.

He'll fookin' murder ya!

 

Sent to me from Turkey, Salih Uuuuucan you're my world

 

lol

 

One of my favourite ‘78s .

It all went downhill after the new fangled ‘45s came in .

 

Can't see any reason why Burnley would want him given his career so far. Didn't seem to accomplish much in two spells in Serie A and one in Switzerland - even in Turkey he's only ever made 20+ starts in the league in two seasons by the age of 29.

 

Watford any day of the week mate

 

In that case my question is why do we want him??

 

We may well not and might only be mischief making in the Turkish media by the agent, given Ucan's entering the last year of his contract. Easy to link to a former manager and then just chuck in a promoted club too.

 

I came for the puns but staying as he can play at DM.

 

Don't think there's much in this, Turkish media are unreliable at the best of times (seems to be that they're picking a 'top' Championship club with links to his club), although in fairness, he did earn a recall to the Turkish national team this year! Why, I'm not quite sure as it doesn't look like he was a guaranteed starter at Besiktas...

 

If we did want him , I would imagine it’s because Val rates him after managing him last season.

 

Sounds like he’s not good enough for us either !

 

My Turkish football contact tells me likelihood of this happening has now dropped to 4/10. Despite signing Oxlade-Chamberlain implying he falls down the pecking order, the Besiktas manager has selected Ucan to join him for at the press conference tomorrow, possibly to ward off any suitors by demonstrating he remains part of his plans. Make of that what you will.

 

Ucan play at that game.
Sorry,has this been done to death?

 

U can make that joke as much as you like . It never tires

 

Trust me, it does.
