It seems our out of contract "striker" is off to a mid table Turkish team

Im confortable with the situation.

fair play to him, that a fuckin good move from his point of view.

Yes, Galatasaray are mid-table (9th of 18), but they are the Turkish team with the most experience in Europe (35 seasons) - but not next season.

However, is this just papertalk or genuine itk stuff. Could explain non-appearance last weekend.

He does realise they might not be as polite as us if he doesn't perform well, doesn't he?

seeing as freds dad didnt want to bother.

I hope he gets dysentery

I won't miss much sleep tonight knowing he's off.

would be nice if he handed back a couple of million

Good riddance to the overpaid useless twat.

His names mentioned on Gala's website...

 

Many statements about the President Aysal Unal , Swedish striker Elmander and this transfer is understood to be notified the stock exchange announced tomorrow.(http://www.galatasaray.org/kulup/haber/10094.php)

I'll miss his thumbs up whenever he fucks up

i'm also not worried

 

we've got davies to score the goals

Mark's injured, mate.

Right... sensible reply,

 

He was never worth half what we paid for him. He was reasonably impressive on his debut against Stoke and scored, I thought we might have a real goodun signed on.

 

I was wrong, he never showed a lack of effort, he always gave 100%, but most of the time he was running after lost causes, chasing down goalkeepers when he had no chance of getting it or making tackles on fullbacks at the cornerflag, he rarely did what he was paid to and that was terrorise the opponents defence and score goals.

 

When he was trying to make himself attractive in the shop window at the start of the season he looked a different player nad scored some good goals. He was what we paid for, a proper striker. That, unfortunately, was only to sell himself and obviously Galatasaray have been wooed and he has managed to get himself a move to the third World country of Europe.

 

As I said, I hope he get's dysentery! Effort isn't everything, you need to give everything you have including thought, loyalty and goals

Spot on. If his move is true, his final disrespectful act is to allow news of it to leak out in the final week of the season. Were still paying his wages and he should have been busting a gut for us until Monday morning.

I can see him getting more stick than usual on Sunfay now. Then again, it may make it more of a party atmosphere now that we know he's going. He's shite! What a waste of 8 million!

Id be suprised to see him on Sunday. If he has signed for Galatasaray then we may aswell give somebody else his place in the matchday squad.

You can say that, but cannot substantiate it

I'd personally rather we kept the lad. coyle has got the best out of him & played as a striker he scores goals. but if this is true, fuck him.

We'll let's think about it. He get's stick most games, so now that he's decided to sign for another club (apparently) before the season has even ended, it's not gonna do him any favours with the fans.

A decent footballer, the one of the best I've seen in a white shirt, albeit for 2 months out of 36.

 

Him going will take a big chunk off the wages bill, we can only guess but may free enough for 3 or 4 new lads.

Think I said on another thread that the 'slight knock' masked advance negotiations for a transfer. It was probably sorted a week or so back, just haggling over who would pay his kid's school fees over here I suspect.

 

Money more important than football. The line about Harry Kewell leaving at the end of the season says it all.

Didnt mind Elmander meself and has probably contributed more than Kevin Davies this season.

 

If he has signed before the season ends then hes a cnut. Shut the door on the way out
