Torfason Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 A good signing but depends if he is really as fit as he says. "I've not played too much in the past six months and it hurt me to be on the sidelines. But, thankfully, my level of fitness is good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) I'm pleased with signing Ciftci, simply because he has the potential to provide a modicum of excitement. That has been in short supply this season. Midfield still worries me though. We need legs and also someone creative.

Trackdaybob Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) I'm just grateful stuff is happening. Wasn't expecting Ciftci but if he helps keep us up.......... Thought he was older too. No sure why. Edited January 5, 2022 by Trackdaybob 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Hoşgeldiniz Nadir. Unlike some others I'll wait till I see him in action before writing him off. This signing could go either way and to succeed he'll need the right players around him, we're probably two light at the moment, at least, so next signing..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Fair play to St Johnstone, they're in trouble and are acting. Nadir might be a bit of a dice roll, but I wouldn't be surprised if he does ok for you. Could easily bag 6-7 goals between now and the end of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint in exile Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 2 hours ago, RandomGuy. said: Can definitely see parallels between United signing a 34yo DM who hadn't played for 5 months who had no experience of Scottish football, and us signing a 29yo striker in January who's played over 100 games in this division. He'll be 30 by the time he gets international clearance though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would take him ahead of Erwin, Main and Dennis. As you say, could go either way but its a risk they had to take. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Obviously different levels and it is only Wiki I could be bothered checking, but he's not really a prolific striker either. Has 4 more league goals in his career than Danny Mullen despite playing a few seasons more and having a whole raft of extra clubs to score for and is 4 year older. Really had a purple patch at United. Never been a goalscorer elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Heard earlier that Saints had made Shaw and Celtic an excellent offer but were completely blown out the water by another club. The percentage of his wages they were prepared to cover would make him our highest ever earner. That's before you even start on the loan fee. Makes more sense now given the open secret in Scottish football circles about which club is jeopardising any future government loans by spending the entirety of the last one on their first team squad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Famous last words but I really can't see Saints letting him go this window, especially after August. It's been some turnaround from him and all logic would point towards taking a fee but we just can't afford to in our current predicament. The summer will be interesting. First time we'll have needed to sign a keeper in probably 12 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As highly rated Wills and Sinclair are, it’s definitely too early to consider either as ready to step up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
