Erhun Oztumer moves to Peterborough United

Erhun ruled out of this weekend's game. Official line is he's still "sidelined through injury".

Beginning to worry that maybe his small frame won't cope with the level of fitness required by a team near the top of League 1...

Obviously hope that isn't the case. Don't suppose you know any more Posh 'n Proud ?
 
Been looking for Danny Carr's name to pop up too, seems to have gone all quiet there for him. Maybe with Robins going he may get a chance in the future...
 
Erhun's out until the end of September with no offical clarification on his injury status. Some say it's a groin injury and others say it's a continuation of his ankle injury from last term whilst some say he's just had an operation on the same ankle. A further few say he's actually back in training but they're giving him extra prep time as he barely had a pre-season.

The only other news is that he's moved into his new home and bought a new Mercedes (just a small black A-Class).

Like a kid eagerly waiting for a Christmas in summertime I am :(

Thanks for the update! Here's hoping he'll be in the picture sooner rather than later. Good to see Kyle Vassell doing so well too.

Yes he did, Mishi.

He had a groin operation a few weeks ago and has to ease himself back into training and then catch up with everyone else - he should be available for squad selection at the end of September / early October.

I spoke to our Chairman at the weekend and he feels that Erhun will be fully up to speed and pushing hard for regular first-team starts at the end of this year. It's a terrible shame but he's effectively missed the whole pre-season and subsequently hasn't been able to train fully for any length of time.

On the upside, no-one at the club doubts his ability and potential and he's been winning friends in the squad and amongst the supporters by travelling to all away games and sitting with the fans. That sort of thing goes a long way in the PR stakes and certainly hasn't gone unnoticed. He needs to exercise some patience with his rehabilitation as I believe he initially got the groin strain trying a bit too hard a bit too soon - he has got time on his side.

I'll let you know of any other news and I'll be seeing you good folk at Champion Hill on 20 September for the Hornchurch game which I'm looking forward to. Great result on Tuesday against Margate!!

Note you've just signed Luke James from Hartlepool who can play in Erhun's position. Seems to be a lot of competition at London Road in the second striker/ AM role - sure we can't borrow him back for a bit?

Glad to hear that the slow start hopefully won't count against him...especially as Posh are already justifying their promotion favourites tag!

I saw that he sat in the crowd with Gab Z the other week - I'd expect nothing less, happy it's going down well with the fans.

Don't know if you've seen highlights of the Margate game but I've only just recovered, and I was drinking water all night! We had a similar game vs Kingstonian in the last game of last season, with the crowd almost sucking the ball into the net throughout the final 30mins. Unfortunately that day, with a 70%-fit Erhun's best attempts, we drew and missed out on the play-offs. On Tuesday night, the Margate GK had made three brilliant saves in the 10 mins leading up to the goal and then, oh and then, glorious Laurent Hamici galloped through and buried the winner with the last kick of the game. On reflection, I think it was the best moment yet of my fledgling DHFC involvement.

I digress - see you on the 20th!

James is essentially a finisher (hopefully a good one). Marcus Maddison, whom we've just signed from Gateshead, is principally a wide-man as is Jon Taylor. Both of the latter are supposedly also able to play behind the striker(s) but neither are pukka "number 10s" - they have pace and craft but are not playmakers to the same standard as Erhun.

Darius Vassell came from Bishops Stortford last spring and didn't look up to much but with a proper pre-season behind him and having acquired some familiarity with his team-mates, he's turned into quite the beast and is joint top-scorer in L1. Erhun will make an even bigger impact a few weeks down the line, of that I'm absolutely convinced. I'd have no qualms about him being loaned back out to you for a month - it gives me the horn watching him play anywhere :)
 
Erhun's now back in full-time training after his operation and convalescence and will be featuring after Posh 'have got a reserve game or two into him'. I'm thinking second or third week of October and he'll certainly be on the bench, if not pushing for inclusion in the starting eleven.

And I'll be seeing you chaps at Champion Hill tomorrow along with my talismanic wife who'll be making her first visit. She accompanies me to Posh games rather infrequently but we've only lost three fixtures in ten years whilst she's been present and one of those was a play-off semi-final which was subsequently turned around in the second-leg. Even if you're a lapsed Cobblers' fan, do please introduce yourself (I'm Paul) if you feel so inclined - I'll be sporting a red 'Turkish Magician' fez hat for some if not all of the afternoon.

I'll be selling the 50/50 tickets, only a pound each...hint, hint! ;)
 
Jammy git! ;) In which case...see you soon! Though I'd rather you put a few pennies (extra?) in the 12th Man bucket on your next visit...
 


Whilst you were enjoying a goalfest last night, Erhun notched up 45 minutes (as planned) with the U-21s at Watford who had no fewer than seven players with first-team experience on show.

Playing on the right but with licence to drift inside, he started a little slowly but loosened up after ten minutes or so and opened up the throttle a couple of times. This was enough to encourage the Watford defenders to occasionally triple-up on him with only moderate success. I'd say he's currently at 80-85% and near enough a contender for a bench place in the next couple of Saturdays. As soon as he's made up the missing six weeks that he's been sidelined, we should be seeing the benefits of full-time training coming through whereupon he should be really flying.

I listened to the usual comments from first-time witnesses:

"Good lord, he's absolutely tiny"
followed shortly thereafter by:
"He's rather fucking good, isn't he?"

Looking good at the moment for easing him in so you can soon all enjoy staying up till stupid o'clock to watch the FL Show with the insight of Leroy Rosenior (if you're lucky) or the pseudo-coke ramblings of Steve Claridge (if you're not).
 
Erhun makes his debut on one of only two Saturdays a year when I'm contracted to work. I feel bloody cheated by the football gods in a conspiracy with my callous employers.

Very good feedback concerning his eagerness and movement - a couple of the football intelligentsia (known fuckwits of the parish) have already delivered their 'too small' verdict after ten minutes' scrutiny. Can't wait to see what they have to say after half-a-dozen games of Turkish magic has made their heads spin.

With a fair wind, you may be seeing something worthwhile on the FL show next Saturday when we travel to Crawley. Keep an eye out for a Hamlet scarf and Turkish Cypriot flag in the crowd - we must make sure he feels completely at home :)

Well done on bagging all the points at Canvey Island and good luck tomorrow against Thamesmead. Could make it five out of six!

"...a defence splitting pass from highly rated ex-Dulwich Hamlet midfielder Erhun Oztumer."

We've got ex-Hamleteer Paul McCallum as well. He's been out on loan a few times and done well but still looks a bit lightweight when I've seen him alongside the 1st team.

'Lightweight' is something of a feature of the Hamlet team tbh. I think teams will be looking at Xavier Vidal now as a potential league player and he'll have to get past that criticism too.
