Moussa Sow and Raul Meireles

Turkish clubs are getting richer every year. Fenerbahce broke into the Deloitte Money League top 20 this year so they will drive a hard bargain, no doubt. Meireles bid would be more likely to be accepted as he is a bit old, would be very surprised if they sold Sow.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but according to a report I read in Turkish, Sow has a release clause of €17m. http://www.netgazete.com/spor/637241.html
 
Know absolutely fuck-all about Sow, but that scoring rate in France is very impressive isn't it? Historically been one of the lowest scoring leagues around IIRC.
 
Is he worth the 14 or so million it would take to get him here?

who knows? It is so hard to look at a player in Turkey and understand how they will cope in England.

Anelka was on fire for Fener years ago and came across to Bolton and continued in the same vein, but obviously he had played in England before.

I always thought Tuncay would be fantastic in the Premier League but never quite did it.

Sow certainly looks like he has all the qualities - I've seen him score some tremendous goals, he is quick, good in the air, strong, can strike the ball with both feet - seems to always know where the net is... but you never know until they come really.

I guess I would have to compare him to Gyan for that price and say he is better than Gyan, but he's (allegedly) the same age as Gyan and for that price you definitely have to wonder whether he will have any resale value. Wages would likely be a stumbling block unless he is happy to take a cut if he has a huge desire to play in England.
 
This is why I love sunderland always a roller coaster ride! Excited for next season even if we do shit!
 
I meireles comes - could it be stipulated that he changes his image - vies with Mario B for worst haircut ( with honourable exception of Egyptian geezer that plays for Milan) and those tatoos are awful as well.
 
Miereles used to be class but I'm worried about signing over the hill players like that who moved for a huge paycheck. Sow scored loads of goals a few years back in France I think but IIRC his all round game is a bit iffy?
