Tuncay is a skillful and very exciting attacking player, capable of playing as a centre forward, attacking midfielder or on either wing. He was signed by Tony Pulis in August 2009 for £5 million, a move that was seen by many as a statement of the club’s management’s intention to consolidate its Premier League status, and perhaps heralds a move to a less direct style of play, as the Turkish international captain is a player who is most effective with the ball at his feet. He shows signs of becoming a firm favourite with the Stoke fans, who are appreciative of his skill and good work ethic.
