Why Man United Are Signing This WEIRD Player.

The Michael Jordan of Milners

real ones remember John O'Shea, and how important he was for the 02/03 title. This is the type of signing that can reduce our squad size, salaries and give us consistency on the bench

Having watched Ferdi the last 2 seasons as a season ticket holder, he is fantastic! He puts in such a good defensive performance making sure he gets back but when he goes forward he links up with players so well and is unprodictable for the opposition

He could end up getting 30 starts a season purely by being able to play every position 😂

John O'Shea played every position. Even went in goal against Spurs and kept a clean sheet

I'm a United fan and this excites me more than all of our other signings/targets. Even if he is only a Europa league level player, his versatility would be so valuable for less than £30 million.

While I would prefer full backs to play on their stronger foot (left-footed LB, right-footed RB), when I watched Kadioglu vs Georgia, it struck me that he plays with a Robertson mindset: Aggressive getting forward with the ball, and aggressive in his defending

Saman Ghoddos played every position for Brentford, we signed him as a striker, he became a winger /cm in the next few seasons, in his last season he played rb and lb due to injuries, and in his last game for us he got subbed on at lcb😭

INEOS and Ashworth scouting....the future looks interesting!

I think Kadioglu will be the replacement for Wan Bisaka. With Dalot and Ferdi, you have 2 very versatile players who can fill in other positions.

we'll get him after sell AWB, we'll have 4 versatile players in the defence, Dalot and him can play both flanks, Shaw can play CB and Martinez can play the left side of defence and DM.

Denis Irwin is the correct comparison youngsters.

I rate him so highly. Probably one of the best drivers with the ball in the sport currently. So exciting and can like you said just play ANYWHERE. Would be sad to see United get such a good player.

having signed Ferdi on my previous FM save I can confirm that he is quality

As a United fan i would love to sign this guy. The versatility would be great in our injury prone defence to give options with Dalot and Shaw as he can play either side. Very tenacious and i loved watching him at the Euros. Just looks like a really good modern fullback. Also wasnt he born in Netherlands which seems to be a requirement for a United player these days, could see it happening as surely wouldnt cost a fortune either

I remember Paul Madeley playing in a variety of positions for Leeds in the 70's when required, especially in the days you only had one substitute.

Wonderful breakdown, this is a transfer that would benefit rashford a lot

As long as the football rules stay the same (which I am not in favor of, but that is a different topic), I think that the football tactics will include more and more strong on ball players in the back line. Not just strong on ball in terms of passing, but the dribbling as well. Football tactics are kind of solved at the moment, that is why we saw such a large percentage of passes made in the back line for all of squads at euro. We need to make some comparisons with Futsal here, most skillful players in terms of 1v1 dribbling are played in the back/flanks, because that is where you can create an advantage since the pitch is smaller, you need to create the space between the defensive players. Football philosophy preaches that wingers should do that, BUT since athletic side of the game allowed teams to play huge amounts of players behind the ball on defense, we are seeing more and more wingers squaring their defender upon ball receival, just to see 8-9 defending players in a third zone of the field, and to make a decision to move the ball backwards. So what my guess is that in order to utilize the space between the defensive lines, more and more teams will start playing inverted dribbling backs in the future, where they can have that 1v1 vs the winger and they can start the snowball effect after dribbling past him inside the central areas of the field. Ferdi Kadıoğlu is a great prototype of that idea.
