Ansem Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Herdman’s patient approach lead to Tabla windfall for Canada https://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/herdmans-patient-approach-lead-tabla-windfall-canada/ What’s especially promising for Canadian soccer fans is that Herdman isn’t resting on his laurels, and has put together a list of other youngsters who like Tabla could represent other countries, and drafted a specific strategy for each player to convince them to play for Canada. Herdman didn’t offer any specific names, but hinted that Ferdi Kadioglu is someone who is on his radar. Kadioglu is a 19-year-old Dutch midfielder who recently signed with Turkish side Fenerbahce. He’s played for the Netherlands at youth level, but hasn’t been capped by the Dutch senior team. Kadioglu is eligible to play for Canada because his mother was born here. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ferdi-kadioglu/profil/spieler/369316 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdi_Kadioglu Date of Birth (Age): Oct 7, 1999 (18) Attacking Midfield Now plays at Fenerbahçe in the Turkish Süper Lig Herdman...Impresses me A_Gagne, johnyb, lazlo_80 and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazlo_80 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Interesting that Molinaro put that name in the article. He doesn't waste much ink on rumors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) Kadioglu, Ferreira, Tomori, Eustaquio and Gutierrez are all players probably still beyond reach but would be huge gets. Thought Table was too far gone though... The biggest thing is keeping those that grew up here and were part of the system as those players turning their backs really hurts us. The tide might be turning and seeing pleople like Hoilett but especially Davies and Tabla committing should be huge markers for young players to take notice of and be inspired by. The importance of 2026 can't be underestimated also. We might pick up a few players that wouldn't have committed otherwise but in turn that could be a launching pad for the next 10/20 years.

Turns 20 next October Yes he's eligible, but you can probably forget about him until after 2021 when the next U21 cycle is over and has exhausted age eligibility. The best bet is for him to continue with the Netherlands until U21 is over, then hope he's not good enough for Turkey. If he's even close to good enough he'll play for them with a Turkish father and playing in the country. Blackjack15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpursFlu Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) I think we need to look at the world thru a new lense. Canada is very attractive to people around the world now especially since the rest of the world is not in a good place.

Very true, seems very committed to Holland and will end his youth career and try and establish himself with Fernabahçe as he’s signed a 4 year deal this summer. Called up to U21 Euro Qualifier VS Ukraine and Latvia http://www.football-oranje.com/six-new-faces-in-netherlands-u21-squad-2/ They practically have been eliminated from contention for this one but since the U21 Championship is every two years look around Oct/Nov 2020 for qualifiers again once that cycle ends then it’s time or should they make it to the Final Tournament then: June/July 2021.

Otherwise, playing for Netherlands is the no brainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macksam Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Good thing is he’s only half Turkish so he probably did not grow up in such an insular and isolated environment like those full blooded Turkish or Moroccan Europeans who always feel more like they belong to their mother countries first and birth nations a distant second.

It's a collaborative effort that includes many volunteers around the world and other stakeholders, including the Voyageurs. I just bought my ticket for the game in Toronto.

Obinna Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 25 minutes ago, Chad_Impact said: Looks like he's been getting some decent minutes this pre-season Yeah he played in the Audi Cup against Bayern as a second half substitute. It was hard to judge his performance because Bayern were absolutely dominant and I was analyzing Davies anyways, so although it didn't seem like he did much, I won't hold it against him, because it didn't seem like too many Fenerbache players did. I believe he also played in the 3rd place game versus Madrid, but I just don't have the time to go back and watch a player who isn't even in our system. But I am curious to know how he did. It was a closer game so perhaps he was more involved, so if anyone did watch, please tell us how he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corazon Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) Came on for Victor Moses today in the 77th minute and scored in the 88th. Maybe a long shot for Canada but at only 19 years old and playing for Fenerbache, he has up there with one of our top rated dual nationals prospects (triple in his case).

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Who should we obsess over next? Kadioglu played 82 minutes for the Netherlands U21 team against Gibraltar. http://www.uefa.com/under21/match/2026658--gibraltar-vs-netherlands/lineups/?iv=true I don't think he is playing that much at Fenerbahçe... dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
