Tbh, I can't remember if I watched Turkey! If I did, I didn't clock Ferdi, or wasn't aware of our interest in him.
Yeah I had no idea we were interested in him, but I did notice him. I barely missed a game, except for the third games where teams were playing at the same time.
I certainly noticed him. I remember thinking that a top PL team should be going for him, as he looked excellent. I never dreamed it would be us.

No - still 3 days left to get a deal done. Positive it will happen even if does take until Friday.
He better not be. The ink's not yet dry on the contract.

No he doesn't need a work permit. His Dad is English and he was born in England, he played a few games for England U21s then probably realised he'd never get into the senior team. So as his Mum is Danish he switched to them. Will need international clearance from FIFA as he's now registered as Danish plus he's moving to a different country.

The international clearance comes from the Scottish FA not FIFA (although it is their rule process that has to be followed). It has nothing to do with a players nationality, it applies to any signing where the player, regardless of nationality, is moving from a club affiliated to one national FA to another.
We even need it when signing players from clubs like Swansea and Cardiff as they are under the Welsh FA even though they play in an English league.
As a side note we may have already got clearance for O’Riley as he’s on the clubs social media arriving for todays game wash bag in hand.

Indeed, here is the filing: https://www.kap.org.tr/tr/BildirimPdf/1328323 Seems to say only that we are in talks to sign Kadioglu though.

This also applies for any football where there are registration rules. For example, a Dutch guy joining a county league time will need this.

Why oh why oh why?
FWIW, the Sofascore app on my phone has just pinged that the transfer is complete.
I wonder if something has been lost in translation as surely we are far more advanced than starting negotiations.

He’s not Finnish, he’s only 23.

That's a good sign, that you and @ Gwylan both noticed Ferdi, while neither of you were aware of our interest in him. He stood out.

He did. But I'd trust both our recruitment and general reports on him (from all Turkish fans) more than my observations over a couple of games.
