Would he get enough points for an automatic work permit? If not then we can surely rule it out straight away?

The loan fee for Zouma was £7,000,000 not £1,000,000 £7m for a season loan, that's batshit theory, nobody would pay that I thought we had actually paid £8m for the loan. Clubs do pay that kind of fee.

I don't know much about this player, but I kind of hope this deal won't happen. I think it's too expensive and I'm not sure he even will be a first choice. I'm more concerned about not having real back up at the fullbacks, Sterling would be perfect by the way!

I thought AN said he wanted a left footed centre back. He’s exactly that mate

They changed the rules now so that Prem and Championship clubs can have up to four players who would not have qualified for work permits under the old system. I’ve lost track of which of our international signings would and wouldn’t have got one but think we still have some wiggle room there.

It doesn't look like we've got any more room at the inn for wild cards though ( if we're counting Bae as done)

Well thats £6.4m in sterling and surely that'll be including a load of add ons so likely to be much less than that in actual current outlay.
I suppose when you look at it that way it's not a bad deal, he looks a player when I've seen him.

He plays on the left of a 3 usually, his main foot is right but is comfortable with either.

What a difference 13 months make. Last year we would have pissed ourselves laughing at this kind of story. Now it seems anything is possible. Maybe we are showing an interest just to push Colchester into doing a deal for taco 🌮 😉 food related puns welcome.

I don't want another Rowett window with expensive players coming in with no resale value. The same people then gave their thumbs up in hope of promotion, but it really backfired.

Neither do I, but it looks like we now have a more professional transfer team in situ and hopefully the club can give us a lot more hope for the future eh?

At that price ide rather we didn't go anywhere near. We don't need our marque signing to be a defender. We could get two or three solid championship defenders for half of that. Got any suggestions? You'd be happy to spend £7 million on him? We only need cover and I'd rather keep Okagbue for that. With the height of Burger in midfield I'm not one on the 'we need a dominating centre half' train. I think Wilmot and Mcnally will be fine.

I think the money is now being put to good use and am hopeful the bad old days of Jones and Rowett are well and truly behind us ,with some exciting young players being brought in!

I think Wilmot and Mcnally will be fine. I never said that. Just interested in who these easily accessible really good cbs are who'd cost half the price? I've never seen Emin play so can't comment on him specifically.

It could be lost in translation but are the Turkish press actually saying it’s a new bid?? Seems it could just be them saying we did offer that amount?? McNally’s signing seemed to have quietened all these links and maybe the money earmarked for Bayram went on Burger when it was known he would become available…??
I think they’ll be a cb signing on loan on deadline, prob Davies or panzo to cover lb in an emergency too

Assuming this is normal Turkish nonsense? My Turkish isn't the best, and it's a bank holiday weekend so I've had a few, but is that suggesting we've offered €12mill? There's absolutely no way we're offering that surely?

There's absolutely no way we're offering that surely? Yeah. Stoke City made an official offer of 12 million € to Galatasaray for Emin Bayram. Unless it's the old reverse-Etebo where we offer them 50p for a loan and the rest when we win the Kentucky Derby for the third time

And still no links in no Turkish media He does seem to be a journo for an outlet with over 100k followers. Seems to have made the claim in this live transfer youtube thing linked in the tweet. And the opening post does link to where this fresh speculation appears to have started, in apparently one of their biggest papers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SözcüStill find it hard to believe unless it's a smallish loan fee initially though?

If we've offered 12 million for him then we need relegating now. I don't understand why we can find attackers from around the world, but when it comes to defenders, it's this donkey that keeps popping up

We can't be offering that for anyone, certainly not a kiddie in Turkey. Transfermarket has him down a 1/10th of that value and falling. Have they got an extra 0 on the end by accident.
