we may have to bid about 5 mill pounds for him
this is all i could get of him in wiki

Sercan Yildirim (born April 4, 1990) is a Turkish professional footballer who currently plays for Bursaspor. He has regularly played for the Turkish national team in junior levels. He is acknowledged as one of the promising players with a possible very bright future by Turkish media and authorities. Clubs such as Manchester United have been interested in signing him. Currently part of the Turkey national under-21 football team. He is currently top scorer at Türkcell Süper Lig, scoring 4 goals in 4 matches.

Yeah his joint top scorer of the Turkish 1st Division with Baros and is only 18. He doesn't play for a 'big' Turkish club so his fee shouldn't be too high.

According to my Turkish mates his a wonderful prospect and should be a future gem. He also seems to be nearing a full international cap. Lets all keep an eye on him lol

I've not heard of him either. Is SAF buying for the Reserves? Buying to loan out? Genuinely hoping for some of the talented new boys to emerge in the First Team? Buying because he expects a mass exodus in summer 2010 when a few of the oldies retire? I suppose you can use the £80 million from Ronaldo to buy a couple of world class players, or you can buy 20 prospects, loan them out, and eventually sell them all for double money! Have United found a better solution than selling replica shirts? :whistling:

I just found this:

Sercan Yildirim | Talentspotter

 

[NoxiousD]

good talent

 

[galatasaray]

ım turk
Sercan very talented
but a spoiled child
than 19 years old

galatasaray and many want him fenerbahçe

 

[maco]

his tackling and heading could be better

 

[NoxiousD]

his tackling and heading could be better

1. Hes a striker, tackling not what we're interested in about him...

2. You can tell all of that from a couple of youtube vids?

I think he's going purely on what it says on that talentspotter site

 

[Bimbo]

They say M.City wants him..He is a good player and can be better when he plays in premier leauge

Did you ever see that Michael Jackson documentary where he walked through this room of expensive furniture and ornaments going "I'll have that one, that one, that one, that one ....." Kind of like City in the transfer market. Quantity rather than quality! This Turkish guy could be good, but knowing that City want him isn't an automatic sign that he's any good if they are just chasing everybody with two legs.

I suppose it's a modern mentality to buying players. If I take all the toys, you can't play with them! Maybe City will have a first team squad of 50 players so that they win the League because nobody else has any decent players left?
