I can hardly see Sezer relocating halfway round the world again for a 1 year contract.
Can't remember the last 1 year contract I saw for an overseas player.

Wow what a disappointing signing this is. From the high of possibly signing Lam, all optimism comes crashing back down with the signing of Sezer, not even an up and coming youngster with potential but another ageing player who hardly set SL alight at Hudds or Leeds.

Not the player to convince those wavering about renewing passes really.
We have certainly achieved the objective of having the oldest and slowest back line in SL if that was indeed our intention, as I don't see where the club is going anymore other than backwards.

I'm not a fan of this signing, but he was very good for Hudds and was nominated for the MOS in his firstcseason, was seen at the time as an excellent signing for Leeds, but was disappointing for them.

Pearson was recently boasting about an App Myler had brought in that tracks performing players and attributes.

I think he should sue the App developers!

I was holding judgement on recruitment, but I'm.beyond unenthused now.

What worries me the most is the fact that both Sezer and Abdul are similar types of halves. Very dependant on their kicking game and offer next to no running game.

It stinks of a panic buy and with Myler and Cartwright coached/played with him previously it was an easy deal to make.

Dan just posted another article on Sezer. it surprised me he's averaging 60 run metres per game this year, perhaps he will play more as the running 6 and Abdull the organising 7?

Is 60 metres good?

Had a good running game when he was younger to be fair, buy that was a few years ago.

I suppose not when compared to what i consider an elite running 6 like Ezra Mam - he averages 97 metres per game. I was just surprised Sezer was as high as 60, whilst also playing in a poor side. I just made the connection & wondered if he may play more as a running 6 for us?
