    Unfortunately the club took it too far when they heard the line 'when he's as my gate with a big fat 8'....but decided to give Tufan the number 18 shirt.

    Maybe we will forget to tell him he has a medical like we did with Grimes

    The Bordeaux fans are celebrating that they can use the money from this transfer to pay off their manager. Not exactly a great look!

    Gino has spent 2022 p!ssing on everyone's chips, it's time to make the fans happy. Just a shame it's Bordeaux fans.

    After how Dennis has turned out I won't jump the gun on this one. Koln fans thought he was complete crap and Brugge fans were very unfussed about him leaving besides the fee being so low.

    Looks like he has the right attributes to potentially succeed at this level with pace and dribbling ability, and literally cannot be any more useless than Sema, so he looks worth a go for such a small fee.

    Is that 750k? Or 3-4 million?

    Agreed - impossible to be worse than Sema so all good.

    Be amazed if it was only a little over £600k, even if he's crap.

    I think there are far better uses of 3-4m for our squad, but I have learnt that isn't how the Pozzos operate so I should stop getting annoyed about it.

    At least he looks an improvement on Sema.

    As there is an "S" on the end of million I think it must mean 3-4 millions of Euros and not 750,000

    Excellent signing. Loads of potential and should be an exciting addition to the squad.

    I actually started as a left winger before moving up front. I was much, much faster than Sema at least.

    Get me in.

    If there is one person more one footed than Sema on the planet, it's probably me.

    The bloke is very, very good indeed. He is still a bit raw but will be a great asset from the bench. Very quick, very skilful, very direct. Him and Cucho can play a half each. I would liken his potential to Quina’s. But because he’s more willing to play a simple game, he’s further down the road in realising that potential. He can even get back and defend. Mark my words, Bordeaux fans might sound indifferent or dismissive, but they’ll be watching his progress with regret.

    What’s my source? I watched that YouTube video twice.

    Please just let this be the end of Sema.

    Just him no longer being an option in the squad will strengthen our likelihood of staying up.

    Not thrilled, but not mad. I’m expecting nothing but hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

    Surely Sema will be off to Udinese? Our squad is getting very bloated now (and I’d still want a CB, if not also a DM and a GK!).
