Was on our books as a kid but let go at 16 because he's only 5ft 3in. Was a writeup about him in this weeks South London Press. Banged in loads of goals for Dulwich Hamlet. Heard for the brother of another Turkish player who was let go (the injured guy) that Smallwall might be interested in him.

    Watched him twice season just gone, certainly above the level he is at now but probably more conference.

    See him play this year @ Eastbourne Town. Was pony! Ridiculously small too, would never make it at a higher level

    It was Peterborough who signed him from Hamlet, so not such an Acworthian suggestion after all!

    A header into the top corner from the edge of the box as he towers above Tex.

    It would never happen against any other team, but when it's against Charlton, you just know it might have a chance ;)

    according to Wikipedia he has scored 16 goals this season - that's more than any of our strikers have scored over the past 3 seasons & more than the combined tally of the 3 playing tomorrow (Magennis, Novak, TWWW)

    Knocked in a few goals this season...could be worth a shout for 1st goalscorer.

    And he's a midfielder.

  • Scored a worldy against Bolton at the Reebok earlier in the season

    I THINK he's their top scorer (as @GolfAddick says, he's not even a Striker) - Why the hell we didnt sign him ourselves when he refused a new Peterborough Contract I'll never know, in my opinion, Walsall signing him for free was probably the best bit of business done in the whole of League One over the summer!!

    Watched him for Hamlet, strong Turkish following for the Turkish Messi. Good player, very skillful, excellent shot. Tiny though and confidently said he was too small for league football. Hmm!

    His record at Posh was unexceptional though, he's only blossomed this season. It's the opposite to Ajose and Novak...

    Why would we sign him? Pace, wanting to be involved, showing for the ball and occassional scoring. These were some of our favourite things twenty years ago.

    We'll get him back once the Koc family buy us. Anyone remember that old rumour?
  • I do, I remember a man named Mustafa Koc's job title is President of Koc Holding.

    Snigger.
  • Wonder how small Oztumer was at 16 when we let him go, imagine even less then 5'3".

    As the player himself says we were a premiership side when he was released.

    He's never played above League 1.

    Good luck to him , other than today. Local lad whose worked his way back up the leagues.

    Would be a great signing - surprised he hasn't been more sought after.
