Ayerso Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Newcastle have handed a trial to Olympiakos' Turkish left-back Erol Bulut. Bulut, 32, will be a free agent upon the expiry of his Olympiakos contract in June and is hoping to impress Glenn Roeder sufficiently to earn a permanent contract. Bulut travelled to the North East of England on Tuesday and is expected to remain with The Magpies until 10th April. The player underwent a preliminary medical on Wednesday morning and will officially commence his trial period on Thursday. And, after falling out of favour with his Greek employers, Bulut admitted he jumped at the opportunity. "I wanted to stay with Olympiakos but I had no chance to play football there," Bulut is quoted as saying in Greek daily FOS. "I didn't get the chance to show what I could do. I hope to prove my worth and stay at Newcastle, who are one of the biggest clubs in the Premiership." http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=458833&CPID=8&clid=4&lid=2&title=Magpies+hand+trial+to+Turk&channel=football_home& Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Young, one for the future. Fits in with Roeders quota perfectly Still, left back is much needed! Recognise the name but can't say I know anything of him... Edit: If it is true it would probably suggest we are skint given the fact that its one of our poorest areas!

Dragon55544 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 If its who i think it is then he aint anything special. How come Roeder didnt want Sol because he was to old yet since then he has got Sib and now handed a trial to this Turk. Day by day Roeder is making himself look more like a twat.

Guest NIToon Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Don't know much about him but he would need to be s**t hot, LB has been one of our weakest areas for a while now. The other weak positions of course being the rest of the defence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some fat old Turk who can't be judged without a trial won't be the answer to our left back problems. Considering his contract expires in the summer, meaning he's no good to us now.

Menace Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 That's the way forward lads! Bring in someone who has about 2 years left in their career, is inexperienced and there are far better people on frees this summer! Cracking job Rat face! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gemmill Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I think I'll reserve judgement until I see whether he's any good tbh. At the minute we have zero left backs worthy of the title at the club, so I've got no problem with getting one in who's 32. Might free up some cash in the summer, or alternatively we might still sign a left back and keep this fella as backup. Has anyone actually seen him play?

KaKa Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I know not a lot of people are impressed with Roeder at the moment, me being one of them! However, people keep goign on about the under 25 thing...I'm sure Roeder didn't mean he would never sign anyone over this age. I think what he meant was that large amounts of money shuldn't be spent on these kinds of players. For example Campbell was on a free but he would have commanded significantly high wages especially if he knew we were interested in him. I have no doubt we will be looking at bringing in a top left back. if we are looking at the likes of this guy it will mean that Babayaro won't evem be kept around as backup. It's such a shame Roeder has made a mess of things lately because it actually looks like we were prepared to sort out the squad nice and early this summer. Oh well...

NUFC06 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 pathetic What is? If we sign him it will be even more pathetic The last thing we need is some 32years old turk,who cant even be regular in the Greek league great,just great Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes1986 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 If he is any good and we sign him as backup when i won't mind, but if we signed him and were relying on him as first choice next season i wouldn't be too happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not wait until you HAVE seen him? He's only on trial and he's free ffs - in other words, if he's shit we don't have to keep him, if we do keep him, he doesn't cost a penny.
