Bloody Hell.
I assume this is current?
It looks like Dalman is there with him.
This is serious big-hitter stuff.
Erdogan is the cause of many problems but he's very definitely the boss over there.And receiving a CCFC shirt too.

I wonder if those rumours of a Turkish signing are true? This perhaps reduces the odds against.

f**k sake you couldn’t clutch at any more straws if you tried.

I doubt the president of a country deals with transfers mate. Probably not got the time to negotiate the fee for besiktas right back.

It’s more then likely Tan visiting Syrian refugees like it says an dishing out some shirts.

Why would Dalman be there as well?

Re: Tan in Instanbul

I would imagine that he's got a reason for the visit which has little to do with refugees or football .
Oil exports/ imports if you want me to guess.

Dalman is Turkish/Cypriot mate, as Llan says probably business, Dalman may well have orchestrated the whole thing of getting Tan involved in the refugee thing, I'm not saying Tan is not generous or doing it for the wrong reasons but there's probably a side thing to it that involves business ventures outside of Football.

Time will tell,but wouldn’t expect Tan to go there for a player signing,if so he might have a hectic January.

Yes he would. I hear on the grapevine he is off to meet with Donald Trump on Wednesday to discuss a possible loan deal for Wayne Rooney. ;)

I'd rather we had no club than have any investment or support from Erdogan. Anyone wetting their knickers over our club in anyway being involved should do a little reading.

i heard he was meeting Teresa may on Wednesday, because she is offering Mr Tan a £ billion in exchange for votes on her brexit deal , all he has to do is offer the welsh mp's a free box all booze thrown for the Liverpool game , the north wales lot are well up for it i heard.

I'm sure there's no suggestion of Erdogan becoming involved in the Club, but if according to your theory he came up with the money I don't see why I'd care that he's an arsehole.
Yes he's undemocratic, but we can hardly complain when our own government ignores the vote on Brexit.
