Got to be on more money no chance he takes this move on a free transfer for the same money he’s on at Rangers 

Don’t think we made him an official offer in the end. 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 3,111]

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

Surprised an Championship side never took a punt on him

He could easily get a championship move if he wanted. 

If he goes to Turkey he'll be on very good money and as others have said, potentially tax free.

Going to Turkey in the prime of ur footballing career what a waster man good riddance 

[Drumloyal 15,314]

Fenerbahce fans will absolutely chew Kent up.  What a stupid move the boy is making if that's true.

Im not, his stats for 5 years here bar one title season and half a europe run have been honking, 

[The Specky Forum Organiser 67,325]

He could easily got a Championship club if he wanted to.

They'll turn on him by winter and he'll be looking for an exit strategy this time next year IMHO.

At best he’d get one of the shitey mid-table ones but he’d get absolutely nowhere close to the money he’s on now. Rotherham or Reading aren’t going to throw c30k a week at him for one good game in ten. 

[mitre_mouldmaster 21,510]

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. 

[OrangeRab 3,111]

Never really got the championship appeal tbh. Unless you are very very confident of getting promoted. I’d be choosing Turkey, the money and the sun. Than cutting about in some shite English city

Istanbul or Ilkley?

[Laudrupsleftfoot 11,463]

Would prefer to see him at Burnley if they manage to keep Kompany.

[Prso's headband 36,004]

Get it up the wee goth. 

My shout of Grimsby might actually be possible in about a years time when Fenerbache fans drag him by the ankles out the country. 
 

The success rate of British players over there must be 1 in 10, if that. A literal graveyard for British footballers

[Number5 2,172]

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.

Turkey is a shithole.

He's no going Marmaris for a fortnight.

Kent’s time with us came to its natural conclusion, and his application was rotten this season as a result, but he is a far better and more talented player than people on here make him out to be.

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. He has been absolutely embarrassing in the SPFL for 2 seasons.

He’s always been overrated if we’re being honest.

Got some fucking nice areas. Don’t see a problem if that’s what he chose.
 

I’m taking double the money and living there over somewhere like Middlesbrough. 

[Ross-Gazza genius 1,933]

You're a liar if you say you'd rather play football for any championship side over fenerbahce. Regardless of the surrounding areas I'm sure rich folk have nice places to stay, always fucking warm and passionate fans. If he fails then so be it but it's a better league than ours and the championship. 

[SPWF 8,545]

Can we stop talking about Ryan Kent? He was shite and now he’s gone.

Or maybe people just prioritise different things than you.
