Hello lads.

I'm another Turk to give you information on Tuncay and the way he could contribute to the Wanderers. I am a Fenerbahçe fan and have been following him since 2001 when he scored against Besiktas for Sakaryaspor.

To start with, I'm a very good PL follower and am very happy that Tuncay has signed for you guys. After Megson left, I've really enjoyed watching Bolton. When Megson was in charge, it was a horrible experience enduring Bolton games. I can't say I'll support Wanderers like my other Turkish friend with information says as I'm a Hammers fan (yes, Championship sucks).

Tuncay signed for Fener in 2002 and the first year he came in, we were hopeless and he was the only player to actually try to make things better. In 2003, he took part in the Confederations Cup and scored against USA and France (Henry, Wiltord and many others also played in this fixture).

We loved him because we knew he would do everything in his power to turn games around. We won 3 titles with him playing mostly on the left wing or as a second striker. He scored 19 in the league in 2003-04 when he played as a striker. He also played with the likes of Anelka, Van hooijdonk and Appiah.

He was always shown as the biggest Turkish talent so he wanted to prove himself in Europe. His transfer to Boro was a bit of a disappointment. (Milan was rumoured to be interested) He had a good playing period for Boro and the supporters loved him (The PL broadcaster in Turkey would only show the Boro games because he was playing and we missed many crucial title deciding games because of this.)
He played mostly as a winger and he didn't have a good partner up front (Aliadiere and Alves were miserable). Downing, Wheater, Adam Johnson and Tuncay were the only decent players.

Now, we come to the breaking point. Boro got relegated and Tuncay chose to go to....STOKE??? Because Tuncay isn't 1.90cm and 80 kilos, he couldn't break into the first team. Pulis was just toying around with him, once bringing him on as a sub 83rd minute and subbing him on 88th.

He spent a whole year not playing and the next year he wanted to leave. Signed for Wolfsburg thinking McClaren would give him more chance in the first 11 but the same week he signed, McClaren was sacked. So he spent the rest of the season not doing much.

He was on a Tv show similar to Soccer Am Team Mates in Turkey and when he was asked about the Worst Manager he had, he said without doubt "PULIS". So his recent form can be attributed to Stoke's negative, physical football. Even when he was given chances in Stoke, he did well (Watch his performance against Manure and Citeh).

I always believed Tuncay was suited to teams like Everton, Villa, Bolton and Sunderland. Believe me, he's a good signing. He'll probably score 10-13 goals and contribute to Bolton team spirit. I'd say he would best link up with Kevin Davies and Klasnic.

Should any questions emerge, I can answer them.

It's great to see another Turk is here. Great post man.

[hi there, i'm chris]

Tuncay hates Stoke and Pullis. I love him even more.
