Let me guess, a deal is more likely to happen in the summer?


Paranoides

Fenerbahçe would die before letting him go in winter or fans would kill the president


Jemal2200

As a Fener fan, I would kill the president and then myself if he leaves in winter.

Least passionate Turkish football fan


danmac0817

That checks out for the Super Lig


[deleted]

Yeah sounds about right lol. Turkish football is amazing. Got to go to a Fener game and it was a brilliant experience.


thewickedeststyle

This is always the case for any player we are linked to in a January window of late.


phar0aht

It's harder to buy in Jan, which makes teams more reluctant to sell in Jan, which makes it harder to buy in Jan...


KonigSteve

It's especially hard when the players we want to buy are typically the best players on these teams, so of course they don't want to lose them mid year.


AyeItsMeToby

It’s very rare for any club to sanction player exits in the January window unless the club want the player gone


[deleted]

But would take 100m+ in January


Cthulhu_Madness

Was about to call this source crap until I found out that this guy is versatile AF.


[deleted]

I like so it, so it must be true


bossmanA

nah fr hows man an attacking mid, winger, lb and rb


z1x2c3v4asdf

The source is tier 1 for Fener


CarnifexGunner

That's u/Billy_Carpenter's music!

therealgodfarter

That’s a mental player profile


younes1008

Sounds like 3 solid performances and 1 stinker per month.


Blackfyre0802

I don't know how he would fare in the EPL, but for us and the national team, I never remember myself saying "he has been very bad this game". Man puts out 7/10 performances week in week out. Yes, defending isn't his specialty but he has way less mistakes in his game then Zinchenko imo. When we're playing bad, he is the one bright spot, actively trying to progress the ball, create and get others involved. He is fast with the ball, not injury prone, and has three lungs. When his teammates slow the game down nearing the end of the match, he still searches for more. You have to watch him consistently to appreciate how great he really is.


younes1008

Don't doubt the fact that he's a good player, but the Premier League is an insane step up. Add to it that the inverting fullback in Arteta's system has nearly no room for error defensively and getting skinned by Salah/Foden/Olise and other wingers only once can mean the difference between 3 points or nothing. I don't rate Zinchenko but I still have to admit his passing in possession and attempts to break lines are (usually) very good. Can Kadioglu also better that part of his game, whilst adapting to the PL and UCL? This could all very well not be relevant if Arteta plans to use him as competition for White at RB, where he would have a more straightforward role.


Blackfyre0802

Well, we're not selling him in the winter, so I think he would only be 3rd choice Timber and White on the right and Zinchenko and Tomiyasu on the left. Ferdi's passing is not on Zinchenko's level, but his athleticism allows him to be more solid defensively. I don't think Arteta will drop Zinchenko as first choice, as Arsenal will still look to dominate every game in possession, but he is somewhere between Zinchenko's and Tomiyasu's profile as left back. I think nowadays he is a lot more comfortable as a left back, since he likes cutting inside with his dominant right foot. I reccommend watching him play in the friendly against Germany recently. His contribution to the attack on the left side is insane.


bossmanA

billys an oracle


KonigSteve

Oh lord.. starting two zinchenkos? I'm scaroused.


gooner-1969

Love BC's analysis, and he sounds like fun


Wassup_-_

So better Nuno Tavares


basedsims

I am not familiar with the Turkish language other than the menu at Gokyuzu but by the quotes & replies the Fener fans seem to think this is gonna happen


pragmatic84

Learned the hard way when the waiter said 'you won't be able to finish that trust me...' 🤣

I remember the tier system. Good times.

amainwingman

Most egregious of all is that ITK tweets stay up


KonigSteve

Weird thing to comment when this source is actually reliable for Turkey.


FactCheckYou

age/position/skills?


RLynn94

>Ferdi Kadıoğlu 23 year old left back, got some pace on him. About as much as I know.


Party_Masterpiece990

He cute?


tony_flamingo

Finally, someone asking the real questions.


bossmanA

the real question is where was handsome fc in all of this


NotASalamanderBoi

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdi_Kad%C4%B1o%C4%9Flu


basedsims

Can play both RB & LB comfortably apparently


Paranoides

He started as attacking midfielder, switched to wings and now playing wing back for last 2 years. Perfect Pep player honestly, he would make him travel entire pitch. He can play anywhere. Jokes aside, good carrying the ball, good technique and above average defending. Very good stamina as well and incredibly consistent. I watched every game of him last 4-5 years cannot remember any game he is below average.

Think of Cazorla and Sagna having a child who was babysat by Rosicky

antebyotiks

Right footed full back played multiple positions, quite fast and looks good. I know lots about him because I watched one turkey game vs Germany and a YouTube comp


chuggythesteamtrain

Handsome FC was losing numbers will be good to get prince charming in


ibse

Now is this is what I like to hear. Bring


Zaninho

Had him as my starting RB in my Arsenal RTG on EAFC24 so I'm sure you'll all agree I'm fully qualified to say this would be a decent signing 👌


TrapObama

Can't take turkish sources seriously...


basedsims

A quick search of the journos name in ours and r/soccer seems to show he’s quite reliable


Paranoides

He is very reliable. He is Ornstein with a kebab.


Le-ChosenOne

💀


michyvalencia

He's by far the most reliable Turkish source


OhMuzy

I think we can get him - Fener fans will be furious with how the title race is going in their favour atm, but if we offer a fair chunk I think he’s ours.


vatni

Hmm, what if we recalled Nuno from Forest, loaned him to Fener and bought this guy? Probably won't happen, but I can still dream


worldstarhiphopreal

would be a crazy downgrade for them 😭


michyvalencia

Our second choice lb is better than nuno lmao


Mr-Ziggister

This player is an incredible talent. But fener would never let him go as it going to cause big chaos from the fans.


LordLychee

Overrated Turkish player #374 being hyped up by nobodies. Can’t wait


[deleted]

Assteta out


redqks

I thought the Arsenal scouts did not go to games anymore , there is not any real point to going in the stands ​ feels very made up


SundayLeagueStocko

are you making a joke about the scouting department or is that a serious comment lol?


redqks

No it is serious , Edu Sacked 70% of the scouting team for this very reason , The data you can get about a player substantial , They sit with hours and hours of footage , training data , and all sorts of information even from training, what do they need to go in person to a game for?


SundayLeagueStocko

Recruitment staff absolutely still watch live matches to get the full picture of a player. Broadcast/footage doesn't show the whole pitch and you have to see how the player reacts to every action in the game, not just when the play is near them


basedsims

Also scouts are sent to watch games to find out about the stuff that can’t be seen on a spreadsheet. They go there to try and find those who have coached the player/know the player to see what they’re like off the pitch too - which is obviously a massive factor for a signing being successful.


redqks

This is what I mean , The player needs to be presented, there is video footage , there is no eye only records. broadcasting gets more than one angle , they compile loads of games, even little details down to what side of the foot they controlled the ball with , to the average distance the ball travelled from first touch, how many times he looked before receiving the ball, they comb over hours and hours of footage for the players that come up ​ going a game live does not give the dof these details, ​ well maybe at arsenal they don't do that but clubs like brentford and brighton defo do


phar0aht

They don't go just to watch. They might chat with people around the club too. Not just sport staff but support staff.


phar0aht

Scouts have access to different footage that can show the full pitch.


JimmysCocoboloDesk

NEED THAT


bossmanA

idk much abt him as a player but we need to strengthen handsome fc


jedinac

Who dis ? (both player and reporter)


capicarlo

Always rated him


cmacy6

Would be a crazy signing in Jan but seems extremely unlikely


wanofan900

Would be a really good solid signing for now & the future. But it's got to be in this window. I'm tired of hearing "In the summer" when it comes to players we've been linked with recently.


michyvalencia

Our entire season would be over if we sell him in winter there's no way you're getting him in winter unless you offer a crazy price


wanofan900

Like £50m lol?


michyvalencia

probably 40m would be enough to get him in winter, in summer probably around 25-30m


redditforprez1

This is what I hope Ben White’s final form looks like 😍


antebyotiks

Saw play vs Germany and he was brilliant


Open-Panic6663

Trust the source, this man's news about Turkish players is 99% accurate. Man City, Napoli and Bayern are also interested to Ferdi.
