    TC personally requested him….been chasing him all winter. Calls him ‘The Jebbo of keeping’.

    I guess agents and media are aware our #1 is injured so every non-elite keeper will be linked.

    Sky Sports confirming this also.

    Apparently he would be the second best keeper in our league, and the very best fit keeper.

    @reids might know more but from a brief watch and look at his data. We might be linked with the only other keeper in Europe who’s got worse shot stopping, errors and cross claiming numbers than Bachmann

    Saw this earlier, no idea of he is any good. Anyone know anything about him I would love a goalkeeper that can come off his line.

    He’s awful. This is another potential transfer disaster incoming

    Please say it is only a loan deal with an easy get out clause. I can't imagine he'll be the cheapest option given his previous record as a regular youth international and being briefly first choice there.

    I can't see his data unlike @LouOrns above, but from a quick look at Besiktas' Europa League highlights from games he has played this season he looks heavy, cumbersome and lacking presence. Ready to join Tufan in our list of fat Turkish duds.

    He is still fairly young for a keeper, but I don't like the look of this guy at all and can't see much scope for development.

    Be someone else linked tomorrow probably.

    It’s obviously just a rumour - not done deal .

    Seems to have played under Ismael but been dropped since .

    Why are we interested in such a poor keeper ? Is he likely to be dirt cheap ?

    Statistically abysmal looking at LouOrns stats.

    In that case, he's basically destaned to come here.

    Fair enough - but football isn’t played on stats alone. For every team that has this or that xG, they also win games where they’ve had more possession and less shots etc etc and visa versa.

    People can suggest he’s awful - but Malts was talking pretty factual. Sounded like he knew the player wasn’t good hence why I asked!

    Last 4 seasons worth of data shows a pretty horrible shot-stopper and someone who's had a very mixed time of it when coming to claim crosses. League average is the Turkish Super Lig average rather than the Championship...

    Genuinely, what metrics are they using to identify these players? Is it purely Agents knocking on the door?

    This is Gino’s way of sticking 2 fingers up to those that cheered when Bachmann got injured

    This club is ******* hilarious. Never played in England, barely kicked a ball this season and looks just as bad as Bachmann. Loan with a mandatory clause? Excellent!

    Football recruitment really isn't that hard. Getting deals over the line yes, but identifying the right players isn't. We've got some seriously thick people at our club.

    Well we''ll see if he actually signs first.

    Turkish media seem to be unreliable at times.

    I mean yesterday it was Mark Travers and the day before a guy from Finland.

    Who would you go for?

    I don’t believe any of these rumours. From what TC has said it sounds like we’re sticking with Bond and possibly Roberts as backup. We’re not in desperate need of a GK really. Not compared to the need for a striker, a defensive midfielder and a left wing back.
     
  27. Amersham CC

    we are. Nonsense that Bond is good enough. The only reason they have brought Roberts back to look at him is to look at him as a potential No1 until the end of the season and maybe beyond. Bond is a career understudy.

    TBH its likely Bachmann will be back in goal once fit so probably won't splash out on a keeper as such but maybe a loan like this guy.

    I don’t think this is the case personally. Think we’re looking for a new number 1 until the end of the season and Roberts will go back out on loan once that signing is confirmed. Pretty obvious Cleverley isn’t keen on Bond or thinks he’s good enough to be where he wants us to be

    He sounds absolutely sh*te, so I fully expect he'll be our first signing of the window.

    This guy sounds even worse than Bond. Would be madness to sign him, with an obligation to buy as well ?? I really hope not. Surely they can see the same data and highlights that we can see on a football forum ? Why would they be interested in this guy ?

    I’ve always wondered what Suckling and Digweed stats would look like in the modern day and now we may have the answer! As you say it’s the obligation to buy for 7 figure sum that grates. If we can’t just loan him move onto another target. There are hundreds of keepers out there with non catastrophic stats.
     
  34. Malteser2

    Morning my friend. 8 errors that led to goals in the last three seasons! Seriously if we sign him, people will actually be wishing Bachman was still playing!

    TC asks for players with Championship experience, so instead our recruiting team try to get us a Turkish club’s number two who got dropped for being useless.

    Every window it’s the same. We can see what we need, hopes get raised, and we end up with dross.

    But why even just loan him if he’s no better than the fit keepers we have ? The only logic I can see is as a cheap back up to Bond allowing Myles to head back out of loan but even then there must be better….and as you say, why an obligation to buy ??
