I'd need someone fluent in Turkish to confirm but these articles seem to be suggesting interest in Ersan Gulum from Shanghai Shenhua:

If so and if Shanghai want to nominate him as an Asian player then what are the ramifications for Avraam Papdaopoulos? Could he become available?

Interesting....

Eff him though. Whenever I play against him in FIFA I always injure him :lol:

Ersan has played a total of 471 minutes for Turkey so far.

Last game he started was a 3-0 loss to Iceland. :lol:

I think we dodged a bullet with this one.

I wonder if he regrets his decision after Australia played in its 3rd straight W.C Finals and then lifted the Asian Cup. He probably would have played in both tournaments if available, I'd guess.

He could've taken on the might of Kyrgyzstan.
