[Albion] Ferdi Kadioglu **Singed 27/08/24**

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Agreed - I’d be surprised if we offer more than £35mil. But it’s not big money for some other clubs, Man U for example would pay that.

IF the tweet is true (big if) then I reckon B&B will move onto next target

I'm not totally ruling it out (and as you point out the tweet may be bollocks). If the data on him suggests the transfer fee and wages represent value we might still try

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

I do wonder whether the club will go all in for this guy. He is clearly an excellent player and can play pretty much anywhere.

£45M is one hell of a some of money but if he is that good, and we got 2 great seasons out of him, would we not at least recoup our money when one of the big boys decides they want him.

Could all be bs of course but id love to see this guy on the books

Just on signing this player in expectation of getting money back or a profit, the issue is that he is 25. So even if he comes in and does really well for a couple of seasons, it will be hard to turn a profit on a player that age

I agree and dont think we would make a profit. I do believe we could expect to make our money back though. Surely a player in his prime that has lit up the best league in the world would command that.
It is of course always ifs and buts, so we shall see. He could of course be a total flop too and so it may be a risk too far for us

Rubbish - he will be at a career peak between the ages of 25-30

 

[BevBHA]

Can’t see us paying £45m for a full back. That’s big money for almost any club for that position of player.

One of, if not the most important position on the pitch in the modern game

 

[chaileyjem]

No idea how reliable the source is

To give you an idea - Their Linked In page is just a shell of a page, with not even a name quoted or actual presence , Marca is a Spanish paper which presumably they're trying to pass themselves off as having some relationship with, and are journalists with transfer news sources also fans of the players they're writing about. ?

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Ferdi would be a super buy.... but a wing back for a back three not a full back in a back four. Would allows us to move Barco upfield

The TogetherBHA Pod interview with Uwe Hünemeier interview was very enlightening about some of FH’s interesting tactics.

For example, he spoke about FH teams in possession with players switching positions. Sometimes the wingbacks tuck in next to the false CB whilst everyone bombs forwards to create this sort of formation if we sign Ferdi:

————————Verbruggen—————————
———Van Hecke——————Dunk——————
—Kadıoğlu——-—-Wieffer————Barco———-
March—-Gilmour—Pedro—-Enciso——-Mitoma

No idea if this is true.

Obviously shite in goal and up front then.......

From the BBC site:

Manchester United will have to offload 24-year-old winger Jadon Sancho before they pursue a move for Fenerbahce's versatile Turkish midfielder Ferdi Kadioglu, 24, who is also a target for Arsenal. (Teamtalk)

 

[um bongo molongo]

Gone quiet on this guy. Wonder if this is one where our only chance is if United and Arsenal land other targets…

 

[Hugo Rune]

I think he is coming to the Premier League.

Beware the ‘Turkish’ label though……

He looks like Owen Hargreaves and shares the same internationalist characteristics. Why conduct an interview in Turkish when English is your preferred language!



Playing along side Verbruggen, Van Hecke, Veltman and Wieffer will suit him down to the ground.

But not to us?

 

[Gabbiano]

It would be great but I don't think this one is on.

He's ready for a big club that will pay him a shit load. We're the stepping stone club to that level, he's already had his stepping stone at Fenerbahce and proved himself at the Euros. We won't be his showcase if he's already had a showcase.

He's already played with Albion's forgotten giant Kjell Scherpen in the Netherlands U21s.

Several reports from Turkey indicating bid has been upped to €33m (from an initial €27m)…..

 

[Mancgull]

Looks like we have upped our bid. If this one is turned down I reckon we’ll move onto Bah.
If we get him then it’s a great purchase with both Man Utd and Arsenal having shown interest. Can see him being our first choice right wing back although he can obviously play LWB and other positions too..

 

[ewe2]

Good bye PG if we sign him….

Perfect for Hürzeler’s system of players constantly swapping positions.
