Olympique_de_Marseille Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Has some kind of minor injury they didn't want to aggravate so he didn't play today. On 9/11/2021 at 9:23 AM, SpecialK said: Turkey just fired their coach !!!!! This buys us more time. Likely won't get called by the Netherlands for the October window and Turkey will focus on bringing in a new coach and their current player pool before looking at offering one-time-switches.

The article paints an optimistic tone; it looks like he is willing to file his switch towards Turkey. http://www.cnnturk.com/amp/spor/futbol/fenerbahce-ve-tffden-ferdi-kadioglu-seferberligi Officials from the TFF will meet with him soon.

Who wouldn't want a lucrative MLS DP deal? I tell you, those MLS DP deals, you don't even need a successful European career to obtain one, just ask Altidore.

Corazon Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) Not included in either of the Netherlands or Turkey's squad for the upcoming October qualifiers. I do not see him on Netherlands senior squad radar. However, Turkey did call in 12 domestic based players including 4 midfielders. If Norway and Netherlands win both their games in October, Turkey will almost be eliminated from the 2022 World Cup. The Good - Maybe Turkey being eliminated In October could mean Ferdi may wait to make his decision. The Bad - It could also mean that the two November games will be meaningless and Turkey could call in new and fringe players for those two games. I think ideally, we need Turkey to remain in the hunt until November so that there is no games for experimenting. A World Cup elimination on the final matchday in November would be ideal and hopefully give Ferdi some time to digest over the winter.

Honesty though, if he is willing to accept a throwaway call up from Turkey for a meaningless game we have 0% chance of getting him anyway.

At that point, he clearly would want nothing to do with our program and we can move on from him. I am just hoping that it doesn't come to that and if we continue to get results in our qualifying campaign. Might raise some further interest from him.

An earlier article said that Turkey was going to sit down with him. Maybe that has happened already and maybe it hasn't; it still takes months for the one-time-switch paperwork to go through.

Others may have a more valuable opinion (I haven't watched him much), but based on what I have seen I imagine the upgrade from Osorio to Kadioglu would be similar to the upgrade from Piette to Eustaquio. In other words, it would indeed be an upgrade that would make us stronger and deeper, but it wouldn't revolutionize the program or anything. We'll still be good without him. It's not like adding another Davies or David to the program (...but that probably goes without saying). Nor would it be like upgrading Henry with Tomori, which would be quite substantial.

What Obinna said, Ferdi's not an earth shattering addition but he's going to add depth and make us more dynamic, allowing us to change our style of play.

Bertuzzi44 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) He's only 21 and has 137 professional appearances including 52 in the league with Fenerbahçe. So he's ahead of a guy like Millar, who people are wanting see get a callup to our next World Cup qualifiers. Ferdi would definitely be a nice addition.

Squads are usually fairly accurate on Wikipedia but obviously can be wrong. Perhaps @karacicek can provide further insight if the squad has officially been released.

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) According to Sports reporter Yağız Sabuncuoğlu we have invited Kadıoğlu once again. The reporter claims that he has yet to receive an official invitation from either The Netherlands or Turkey. (A few weeks ago the rumour was the TFF wanted to meet with him, which doesn't seem to be quite the same thing as inviting him into the camp/squad). The article also claims that Kadıoğlu would make a decision in the coming days. https://www.arti49.com/service/amp/ferdi-kadiogluna-kanada-milli-takimindan-davet-2358072h.htm On 9/27/2021 at 11:13 AM, Corazon said: If Norway and Netherlands win both their games in October, Turkey will almost be eliminated from the 2022 World Cup.

At the end of the day, all Herdman can do is keep an open dialogue, invite him when appropriate, and rack up the kind of results that both show we are a new brand of CMNT and that we have a real shot at Qatar.

Along with the carrot of 2026 dangling in the background, you never know. This. It would be a good decision for Kadioglu to choose Canada since he would very likely become an integral part of the team. He would provide a very viable option at AM, so I am told, and he would add to the crucial depth that every strong team needs when there are lots of games happening. I find it a little bit discouraging that despite the many positives we have had with new payers of late, these kind of situations still make me feel a real longing for players to embrace Canada right away. Now, I think, if we get Kadioglu, if we had Tomori, if we get Dias, etc. we will be in a better way. I have lots of confidence in the current roster of players! It is very strong, but does there have to be a "but . . ." or a what if?" Yes, dyslexic nam, you never know! MtlMario and dyslexic nam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with. the sentiment that we want guys to want to play for us, but I feel like that's more applicable to guys that were born/grew up here like a Jebbison or a Dias. As far as Ferdi goes, he wasn't born here, never lived here, never played youth for us, so I don't necessarily feel nearly as strongly as I did with Tomori or as I might with Jebbison if he picks England. If anything, I interpret him taking his time as a positive for us because we've gone from a non-option to into consideration and the longer this goes the more appealing we'll become Trois Reds, Corazon, dyslexic nam and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floortom Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Ferdi wasnt named to Turkey's squad Still dont think he'll be with Canada this window but Turkey might be cutting it close if they dont get him in soon and we're getting closer to qualifying for Qatar Approve My Account Pls and Chad_Impact 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
