Bro, Beşiktaş officially tied Ernest Poku to their colors last night with a 1+4 year contract! ⚽
But according to the news, talks with Leverkusen are still ongoing. Wonder if we can pull off the transfer?
I hope he becomes one of our new "keçiler" (goats). What do you think? Is he a player with real potential or just a trial? 🤔
While we're on the topic, how much confidence do you have in this move by the team?
Let's get Poku then? What do you think about Beşiktaş's new signing Ernest Poku?

Just yesterday we were watching Poku tearing it up on Leverkusen’s wings, and now suddenly he’s supposedly coming to Beşiktaş? I can’t even believe it, honestly. But let’s see—will they actually pull it off? We’re only hearing about the transfer from the news, and it’s clear Leverkusen is trying to lower their price tag. Beşiktaş has always struggled a bit with these risky transfers, so let’s keep that in mind.
I can’t deny he has potential—he came up through Leverkusen’s youth system, after all. He’s fast, technical, and has a good shot, but the real question is how quickly he’ll warm up and adapt once he’s on the field. With Cenk getting older and the local wingers needing replacements, they do need young talent there. Still, we’ll have to see how effective he actually is when he plays. I think it could be a move that helps develop the team, but it’s way too early to say, “We’ve won.” Keep your eyes on the road!
Hey man, the Poku situation is actually one of the things that worries me the most. I mean, Leverkusen is still in talks, which means there's a problem with our squad planning. Poku has potential, sure—his speed and aerial power would make him a good option, but Leverkusen's likely to snatch him up, honestly.
So what’s the plan on the pitch? Because Poku’s a classic winger, and I think who fills that role in the system is crucial. Yalçın and Tosun could also play there, pushing Poku down the pecking order. Is Porcu planning to use him in a narrower attacking line?
And if the transfer goes through, what’s the deal with that 1+4-year contract? Four years is a long time, especially if the team’s performance drops. Poku’s young, but is this like basketball transfers where they bail early? Or is this a serious long-term investment?
Last year we went through the exact same thing, bro. Acheampong’s move to Leverkusen started like this too, you know? He was playing under the same coach as our guy, the reports matched, but the transfer fell through at the last second. We took a mental beating over it. We were really hoping for Poku too. If he joins mid-season and gets a run in midfield, that’d be a huge advantage in my opinion. At least it’d ease some pressure—our midfield’s a mess, no secret there.
But listen, my friend, we’ve got a real option here. If Leverkusen’s really unsure and we push a little harder, this deal could actually go through. Plus, Poku’s the kind of guy who fits right in—lovable personality, great locker room presence. I think this could be great news for the Geese, but we can’t say “we’ve got him” just yet. Looks like the process is still ongoing.
