Guessing there was interest from us initially but then his representatives weren’t saying what we wanted to hear. This might be his only real option.

OrangeRab 3,411 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Pretty sure Turkey has a special 15% tax for footballers in the top league. (And the clubs pay it). So if he’s on the same wages reported. It could end up being effectively double. Before you factor in any sign on and that Turkey is significantly cheaper Dickie1963 and Redemption80 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitre_mouldmaster 21,511 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Honestly think he will do well in Turkey, and good luck to him. Predict he will have a good year, and then end up with a fairly decent move somewhere between mid table EPL and top end Championship on good money.

Number5 2,290 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Thought with Leeds going down they might show some interest? Like others say though. 30k/week or £15k..... However back yourself in the English championship and he could have a decent money move in 6/12mths. Or if he continues to be shite he gets overpaid again for another few years or until the Turks hunt him out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t even be fucked with people who will try to argue and say that’s not the case, but there are a lot of people who are so blinded by dislike or frustration towards the guy that they can’t see past it.

More talented yes, wouldn't agree he's a better player than people say. Could have all the talent in the world but if you don't show it it's worthless.
