Tribal football? Seriously?!

Source mentioned is actually Fanatik, no idea if that's trustworthy

Scores a few goals= 40M price tag.

[Santiago. 1,500]

Heard it was 21mill

[Special Juan 28,100]

21m? Who makes up these amounts.

[Amblève. 4,995]

Whatever.

This guy is just another slightly above average striker making some noise in a lower league. If we really want to buy a new striker it has to be a world-class player.

[Special Juan 28,100]

i don't think it needs to be world class, I don't put Lewandowski in as world class but think he would flourish here.

In the Guardian...

Chelsea ask Galatasaray if Turkey striker Burak Yilmaz is for sale

[Behemoth 266]

Not a bad horse to have in the stable so to speak.

Lukaku, Ba, Yilmaz, and ? = PROFIT

What kind of a striker is he?

[Rekin 835]

He has 95 goals in 139 games the last three seasons, not too bad.
I am not too familiar with the overall quality of the Turkish league, but he seems quite dependable in Europe aswell.
The Turkish people I know rate him very highly, they say he is a very strong attacker who is excellent with his head and both his feet and quite quick with the ball. Great player overall, I kinda anticipated that we would be linked with him.
I would say that the main drawback is his age, but maybe he is considered to be a short-term option before Lukaku is considered ready. I doubt we will get him for less than £20m though.

Saw him in the Champions League this season and before that a bunch of his games for Turkey, seemed a good goalscorer. Already 28 before the season starts though, so I'm not sure if he's good enough to take the final step to the very highest level when he's only been good for a couple of years as a big fish in a small pond, with all due respect to the Turkish Super Lig. No doubt a gamble which could well pay off but not worth £20m in my opinion, not much room for improvement at his age and there's no guarantees he can keep up a goalscoring record even close to that if he moves away from Turkey.
