Turks ask about Chiriches

Galatasaray are just one of a number of clubs looking to pick up a bargain as Tottenham try to clear the deadwood at White Hart Lane.



Vlad Chiriches was an accident waiting to happen from the very beginning and went on to prove the initial assessment accurate with a string of unreliable performances. In a different country, where the football suits him better, he will hope to resurrect his club career.

Galatasaray are after Younes Kaboul and have also made enquiries for the Romanian centre-back. Tottenham are looking to recoup £5.04 million (US$7.78m - AUS$10.43m - €7m) have suggested £3.61 million (US$5.60m - AUS$7.26m - €5m) according to Turkish site sporhaber7. Personally I think they have got their figures wrong and failed to convert pounds to euros, which is possibly the same with the Kaboul story.

The report says that Galatasaray asked us for permission to speak to several of our players, they have subsequently spoken to Roberto Soldado, who prefers a move to Spain and Younes Kaboul, who they are trying to a fee for. It is suggested Chiriches will be offered a four-year contract.

Fingers crossed there may be some truth and he departs soon, however it is far more likely that Galatasaray are going to sign just one of them and that Kaboul is the first choice with Chiriches a backup if they can't secure the Frenchman.
