Besiktas Tore price leaves Irons cold

|

gokhan-tore-551520Besiktas president Ahmet Nur Cebiare today is reported as saying he wants €30 million for star midfielder Gokhan Tore according to club vice-.

Asked about possible West Ham interest he said:   “If they give €30 million we would have to think about it, we have to think about business as well.”

However, with the Irons ready to spend £25 million for a striker it sounds very much as though Mr Nur Cebi is whistling in the wind.

Indeed the club have confirmed to us that Tore remains very much a secondary issue as the club continue to whittle down their striker options.

We were told a few minutes ago “Ever since our manager spoke of his admiration of the player, the speculation has gone on and on. However, the priority – as stated many times – is a striker.

“Were we to land one of our targets and there were some cash available we may show an interest but it would most certainly not be at £30 million or anything near that.”

    Gokhan Tore would be a top draw signing.Don’t take too much notice of this €30 million price tag,it is only their president putting the frightners on,it’s his job.Ain’t no different to us coming up with the £50 million price tag for Dimitri.All a load of bolloxs really 🙂 🙂

    I believe in Bilic and in his project; he knows what he needs to improve the team. So if he wants Tore, Hulk, Iron Man or all the Avengers that’s fine with me… lol

    They will do business if his agent wants him to move at nowhere near €30 million
    We don’t need that many new faces and we only want the best and if he is the best then pay the price

  • Roman says:

    Move on and don’t get caught up in agent’s greed.I agree with bubs.Look closer to home in the championship.
