Probably one of the few places he could still pick up £40k/week. On paper, at least. Turkish clubs don't have the best track record of actually paying their staff. Or dealing with racist fans.

Still though. Stay there 1.5-2 years, keep picking up a pretty penny, come back to the Champo for the twilight of his career. He'll be sorted by then.

Yeah at the end of the day, if he wants to keep his wages higher, he's not gonna get even close to what he's on here in England unless a Prem club is desperate and doesn't mind paying big wages for a lower transfer fee. I'm not at all shocked by him moving to Turkey if that is indeed where he's heading.

Aye, today James Nursey from the Mirror said there’s interest in Assombalonga from Turkey. I still think he’ll end up at a domestic club like Bournemouth or Fulham.

I read the Mirror thing as pure speculation that we wanted to offload him now if we want to recoup some money before his contract runs out, and that there could be interest from the CHampionship and maybe Turkey.

"Interest from Turkey" sounds very much like attempting to flush out offers to me.

It's probably £100 a roll as well. If you look really closely at the photo, you can see it's stained with the tears of the Turkish decorator who had to try and hang it without ripping it.

Not sure they’re going to sell the manager mate 

It would really confuse things that’s for sure.

Well he is a Red32 employee so they may not have a choice.

We also might have known that Mejias is the type of guy to wear beige chinos...

Interesting. Dinamo said he was joining a British club. Guess that was just some misinformation!

Must have got lost in translation. They probably meant brute-ish. He'll be gone without pay before the season ends.

Is that the Karanka era/promotion era completely gone now?
