Corazon Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) Slightly disappointing but not too surprised. Similar connection to Canada as Cristante which was about very little to none. The waiting until March comments had me thinking he was considering Canada over Turkey but it sounds like for some reason he thought he still had a shot a Netherlands. Good luck, not holding this decision against him at all. Edited December 3, 2021 by Corazon TGAA_Star 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Approve My Account Pls Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 This one was always playing with house money, if we got him would've been great, if not, well it was never expected and we tried. Interesting he doesn't want to play in Qatar tho 🤷🏽♂️ Corazon, johnyb and Bertuzzi44 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 We have to keep winning matches and qualify for the World Cup, the rest will sort itself out with these dual nationals as we become an attractive option! johnyb, h coach and Sal333 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frattinator Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I will say though Ugbo as recently as September said he was filing a switch to Nigeria and lo and behold November rolls around and he’s in the Canadian squad. johnyb, gator, Xavier. and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadenge Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 He plays his football in Turkey & has selected what appears to be a more difficult road to Qatar at this point anyways & with 2026 not guaranteed...have to respect that he feels dutch/turkish.

Atlantic Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) Everyone is reading the original tweet wrong. It says he’s chose a national team but for Fenerbahce he will still remain a Turkish player. It doesn’t say what national team he chose.

This is the translation: Quote Ferdi Kadıoğlu chose the national team for the A National Team. He will make the official announcement by New Year's. Fenerbahce will offer a 5-year contract to Ferdi Kadıoğlu, who will continue to play in Turkish status. That says to me that he has chosen "the" national team (as in: the Turkish national team) and that he will make the official statement later. Ferdi "who will continue to play in Turkish status" means he will continue playing for Turkey (even though he's played youth for Netherlands..?) I don't know.

canuckgbp Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 As others have mentioned, I don't think he has once ever even toyed with representing Canada. Only thing official we have heard is that Herdman has tried to call him in multiple times which Ferdi has declined. I am assuming something has been lost in translation.

Matro25 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) Very much plausible thats its been lost in translation. Turkish as any linguist would know is a very complicated language. Grammar wise everything is all upside down. No way he's not choosing Turkey though. Why would he sign a long term contract to stay in Istanbul and ditch the national team when they need him just as much as we do? It would not go over well with the crowd there.

El Diego Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I have no idea why there would be a line in that tweet that he is keeping his Turkish status for his club... unless he made a decision that could have potentially put that in jeopardy *ducks* Unnamed Trialist and MM3/MM2/MM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzAndSting Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 The TFF refers to their MNT as the “A National Team.” https://www.tff.org/default.aspx?pageID=451 So if the tweet says he chose “A National Team” I think he’s gone.

Unnamed Trialist Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Funny how it comes down to the article, definite or indefinite. I agree with @El Diegothe logic is sound. Why affirm your status as a Turkish domestic in the same announcement where you are committing to "a" national team? Only if that commitment puts the status in doubt. Further: I am not sure the national coach of Turkey would advance a call-up that is months away, or even a friendly call-up if they were to play in January. What? Oh he's in our pool, for future use-- but no national team coach will commit to a roster that way. The official CSA roster for January will not be out until the new year, it'll be after the Poutine roster is out. He perfectly well could be prepping Turkey fans for that. All this with the comparative prospects of Canada and Turkey to make Qatar well in mind. But I could be wrong. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He originally said he would be making his decision in March, and it has to be between Canada and Turkey, no way his is close to a call from Holland yet, now the date has been advanced to January. I read the quote from the club to mean that even if he chooses another country he will remain as a Turkish national for club purposes. I'm sure Herdman has been in touch with the full press on to the benefits of the Canadian program. Look at Ugbo, Singh etc, TGAA_Star 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
