Hi Ed002, Dorukhan Tokoz is the latest player we have been linked with.

Know about it or is it just the media blabbering on?

{Ed002's Note - I know that Udinese have been in talks.}

Dorukhan Toköz is an interesting link as he's fairly versatile and can equally play at right-back as well as in midfield. He wouldn't be too expensive (although Udinese had a bid of around £7m supposedly turned down) and could provide back-up in numerous areas. and he gets the odd goal and assist from defensive midfield. not a bad squad player IMHO but allegedly Beşiktaş want around £9m for him.

Only way we will sign another CM is if they are able to provide cover in other positions in defence like Fabinho does.

@reynard have you seen him much? As you say, he's interesting, especially at the price quoted mate.

I have never heard of him tbf.

@Robbospress I've seen him a few times as my mother (before she died this year) got me addicted to (some) Turkish Football. He reminds me of Henderson (with a touch of Emre Can) in his tenacity and playing style. He certainly can defend but I think he is more cultured in attacking situations than the statistics suggest. I'm not sure he'd get much game time here but if we're to get one more year from Millie then I'd imagine he'd be given (if bought) the task of learning as much from Millie as possible. My problem is that he is prone to injury because of his playing style so I'd discount everything until one of OUR medicals was passed. From what I saw on Turkish tv Arsenal are also interested.
