Yusuf Yazici

[Bloodbather]

Lacazette replacement?

Could work, it'd be a gamble though - it's only this season that Yusuf has played as a forward at all and he still plays as an attacking mid for the national team. If we're looking at him as an attacking mid option, bad move. He's more of an end product guy than a creator.

Sounds like he has false 9 potential, if he is a CAM for turkey but has good end product. If he could also play in another position he would be a useful player for the squad, but is he good enough to sign as a starter here? Not sure as I haven't watched him.

Good stuff! Just what we need with Pepe and Auba in the team.

He plays absolutely nothing like Özil, it's a lazy comparison based on their Turkishness. Has played mostly attacking mid, but considers himself a forward and produces more when he plays as a forward. Lille started to use him more as a forward this season, hence the improvement. Suited to a second striker or false nine role. Very clinical finisher, good movement without the ball, decent creator, okay pace and strength.

How well is he suited to pressing from the front & does he have the pace to play wide?

Luis campos has a good scouting eye - so based on that he's prob a good player. Hopefully we can get campos in as an Edu replacement, we seem to love all his players at Lille so may as well cut the middleman out.

He does have false nine potential, but hasn't been used in that role thus far. I'm skeptical that he would move the needle for us as a regular starter. Would make an useful option, but he'll want to go somewhere where he can be a regular starter. Crystal Palace could be a good move for him.

Not much of a defensive contributor. He doesn't have the pace to play wide in the PL. Strictly central. He's less effective from the wing in general, but could probably cut it in Serie A.

Thanks man - i dont want anyone upfront or on the wing without pace unless its a target man. Probably not what we need.
