Ferdi Kadioglu Full back of Brighton rumour suddenly emerging, missed yesterday's game with a "minor injury".
1.) 24 Aug 2026 19:23:41
They just signed a new lb today, as well, supa.
The lad you speak of was their player of the season last year, and we were linked with him at that time also.
I'd take him over Hall all day long if he was an option.
Can't see Brighton letting him go on the cheap, they paid 25. For him I'm sure that they would look to double that. Imo that would be a super signing. Probably a lot of 2 plus 2 = 40 and little truth in it, but we can hope.
2.) 24 Aug 2026 20:14:51
TW
Thanks. Interesting, not a name I was familiar with. He is nearly 27 though.
3.) 24 Aug 2026 20:15:13
There is a cut and paste i posted to the banter page from Ed002 in July 2024 ref: Kadioglu when we and others were 1st linked to him.
I think rumour today is £40 million deal whichever way it is totalled.
4.) 25 Aug 2026 05:29:48
Yeah, just entering his prime. Red Man, good player. Not sure if there is any truth in it.
5.) 25 Aug 2026 07:14:38
Surely we are not suggesting 27 is too old now!
Long as got some pace, who cares how old he is. This team is just far too slow atm... Need an injection of pace all over the field, hopefully a bit of talent too would be nice.
6.) 25 Aug 2026 13:50:48
Given the lack of experience in our defensive line, it might actually be sensible to sign a more experienced player at LB if possible.
7.) 25 Aug 2026 18:36:26
Good player, a solid but not spectacular option. He is the sort of signing that will definitely make you better. However, I am not sure how much that costs nowadays.
8.) 25 Aug 2026 19:09:05
He'd be a great option. I didn't think he was obtainable this year, but I'd hoped we'd get him when he went to Brighton. He was fantastic last season.
26 Sep 2022 15:17:30
Any substance in the latest Ajax player to be linked to us, Kenneth Taylor ed? I've not seen anything of him but seems to be highly rated, both footed midfielder (although you'd expect that these days given salaries paid out to professionals) .
{Ed002's Note - Kenneth Taylor (DM) will attract a lot of scouts during the season and efforts will be made for next summer. Ajax will resist.}
1.) 28 Sep 2022 15:04:55
He looks like a fine player supa and getting great reviews.
I think ajax will resist any more requests from us unless they need to build another new stadium?.
2.) 28 Sep 2022 15:18:56
Ken, fancy seeing your name sake in a United shirt?.
3.) 28 Sep 2022 20:50:09
On a serious note he does look a like great young player.
I think he'd do well to have another year or even two at Ajax to really establish himself.
Maybe we could swoop in for him in two years time when Casemiro is 32 going on 33 and will likely need someone to rotate/ replace him.
4.) 29 Sep 2022 09:35:45
On a side note, do you feel English (based) youngsters are at a disadvantage playing for Premier league clubs, given to the sheer quality and physicality of the league?
It seems like sides in other top flight leagues, such as Ajax or Dortmund et al, can bring through their top youth prospects pretty quickly and seamlessly, whereas over here you might get a fleeting glimpse of a player on the bench every now and then before they're sent out on loan a year later. probably to return and more often than not fail to cut the mustard at the very top.
Something in it, or do Utd in particular just have an underwhelming crop at the moment. Malacia is the only youth in recent years to make a great impression and he's not even Utd bred. I know there are a tonne out on loan but I would be surprised if more than one or two ever make it at Utd. Of all the thousands of youths players Utd churn through through their various academies and channels the success rate is abysmal.
{Ed002's Note - It depends on the club and the number of decent quality youngsters they have produced. If you look at Chelsea thay have produced a lot of youngsters that have moved on due to the club deciding they won't make it or opportunities being better elsewhere (for example Tomori, Olise, Musiala, Abrahams, Livramento, Brewster, Ake, Guehi, Rice and Lamptey) whilst some have stayed and become regulars in the first team or are on loan (e.g. Christensen, James, Mount, Loftus Cheek, Colwill, Broja, Gallagher, Hudson Odoi etc.). So opportunity is there but there needs to be a plan for each player - a roadmap to move forward.}
5.) 29 Sep 2022 13:05:35
Great reply Ed, true Chelsea do seem to have a better success rate. You could compare the likes of Mount and Garner as two players whho weren't deemed ready and made great impacts in a lower division, but whereas one was given his chance and has cemented a first team berth Garner wasn't given a chance upon his return. Granted Chelsea's midfield was in a better place.
6.) 30 Sep 2022 07:15:52
Thank you ed002. Highly appreciated.
31 May 2021 16:46:35
Question for Ed 002, I know your akways busy, but when you have time, reading between the lines of a comment you made the other day about Raphina and enquiring about one of his agents other players. Would that player we enquired about be Edmond Tapsoba?
{Ed002's Note - No, not Tapsoba.}
1.) 01 Jun 2021 06:41:10
Didnt know Deco had become and agent.
2.) 01 Jun 2021 22:00:17
How about a game of Hangman Ed so we can guess which other player we enquired about? Or is it unimportant?
{Ed002's Note - It is unimportant.}
31 Jan 2021 14:01:02
Just like to say that we seem to lack any composure, patience and shape when we move forward when attacking during a match when needing to take the lead. Counter attacking is fine when you are winning games but teams like Liverpool and Man City gradually move up the pitch when they are searching for the 1st goal, they then move forward a lot quicker/ long ball when they counter. We just seem unable to pin teams back and just try and get the ball forward as quick as possibly generally resulting in lack of options and giving the ball away cheaply. That is down to the coaching and game management.
1.) 31 Jan 2021 15:07:41
Agree, we lack proper structure going forward.
There seems to be a lack of direction how the moves needs to be constructed.
2.) 31 Jan 2021 23:28:59
I think team is progressing well. Really like the way we are playing. Unfortunately Rashford and Martial are so inconsistent. Once we get right wing sorted and get Rashford playing from the left then we will start winning things.
3.) 01 Feb 2021 07:19:30
Jgb19031976 really? I guess a lot of people just have this idea that sorting out the right wing is going to help this team go and win things. Well it would certainly help balance the squad but we need more than just the right players.
Unless the manager is capable of utilizing and bringing the best out of the players available to him and brings in a more progressive approach to his tactics and the style of play the team is going to go through phases of both good and bad performances and ultimately not win anything.
4.) 01 Feb 2021 19:26:22
The problem is that Rashford was looking more and more like a top class LW around Oct/ Nov/ Dec, then we moved him to RW to accommodate Pogba.
Every man, woman and child knows that our best side is EITHER Fred/ McTom alongside Pogba in the middle, with Rashford left, Greenwood right and Bruno playing off of Cavani, yet for some reason we now play Rashford on the right, where he looks like a poor man’s Nani.
5.) 03 Feb 2021 00:51:23
This aged well.
6.) 03 Feb 2021 10:01:10
Burnley,
We just don’t attack enough and never score haha.
7.) 03 Feb 2021 18:10:10
Well what can I say, I rest my case, albeit aided by an early sending off we actually pinned a team back and sometimes went back to go forward, and look what happens. We will see if they can continue and impose more in future games when needing to take the lead.
01 Jan 2018 11:49:15
Happy New year to all eds and posters old and new. Any chance of a inkling of a surprise transfer to us this January Ed002? Something to warm the cockles of my heart this grey Dorset day as I'm covering my wife's charming cafe having avoided any alcohol for the last few months including last night. I am plying myself with high grade caffeine this morning accompanied with a smorgasbord of green teas and a bacon sandwich.
{Ed002's Note - Joao Mario will maybe emerge as a favoutite for midfield.}
1.) 01 Jan 2018 12:55:11
Are we targeting only one midfielder or two ed? . By us going after Mario means the end for milinkovic Savic and Soler or are these two transfers unrelated? .
{Ed002's Note - Why do you have to try and complicate everything?}
2.) 01 Jan 2018 13:52:46
Cheers Ed002 and a Happy New Year to you!
3.) 01 Jan 2018 13:51:06
Brilliant, thank you Ed002, cheered me up after enduring a shopping trip to the sales with the missus (part of the bargain reached to baggsie the big TV for Everton match later)
Does anyone have any info or opinions about Mario, apart from his penchant for Italian food? )
4.) 01 Jan 2018 14:02:09
I'll take Joao Mario. Think he a decent player who will fit well into the team. Will it be a loan with a view to buy or a transfer?
5.) 01 Jan 2018 16:01:45
No worries Ed. Happy new yr to everyone.
6.) 02 Jan 2018 11:41:58
Paper talk for me on Mario definitely can see Jose trying for Savic tho.

I think the punishment should and will be fairly swift. Implement the punishment then giving City as long as they want to appeal the punsihment.
They might have more urgency in complying then.
I remember ED002 saying that 13/14 of the charges were very serious.
They have obviously been found guily of those.
Something like 80 point deduction very big fine and a transfer ban inward for a few years.
Then other clubs can begin their litigation and claim.
1.) 29 Sep 2026 16:29:52
Expel them from the leagues and be done with it.
2.) 29 Sep 2026 21:17:13
I don't think expulsion and a swift return is the outcome here.
As damaging as it might be to the EPL short term, a sustained period of their inability to reenter the EPL is required.
Is that a continued expulsion for a period of time (not sure that will stand up), or is a repeated points deduction required each season for 'x' number of seasons? Again not sure how sustainable that is, but it seems a fair outcome as it will serve as a constant reminder to everyone that if you systematically try to circumvent the rules (irrespective of your take of them), you will be punished accordingly.
I totally get the argument of the EPL being weaker without city in the league, so was every sporting league/circuit/etc when a cheating scandal arises.
The EPL will recover, it might just take a bit of time, time that is better served without one cheating party present.
28 Sep 2026 13:34:39
Question for Ed001 if he is about regarding City.
Could all Premier League clubs for the affected years past and present be entitled to a pay out based on different financial rewards for each individual place a club finishes in the Premier League? Those clubs other than missed CL spot or relegated.
There were rumours a few months ago that the biggest clubs, most likely affected eg Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea etc were putting together £100+ million compensation packages each.
For all the amounts of these and other clubs say totalling to several hundred Million or even a £1+ Billion lawsuit for financial damages, City will have to find that money from the clubs revenue also?
They can't just inject that money into the club as they will have just as big an issue if not greater.
Most players will have to be sold including assets.
{Ed001's Note - that is going to be the big problem facing the Premier League now. This will get extremely messy. There is no clear resolution to this.
24 Aug 2026 20:10:59
Good old cut and paste from July 2024 and a bit of Ed002 nostalga.
18 Aug 2024 20:42:02
"Hi ed002
Hope you enjoyed the first weekend of the pl and must say everyone has brought in quite a few players bar a few.
Is there any truth to the rumours we have formally bid for Kadiyoglu.
All the best.
Ahmad H
{Ed002's Note - Ferdi Kadıoglu (LB/RB/RW) Versatile player who has done well for Fenerbahce and has attracted the attention of Manchester United, Arsenal, Brighton, Newcastle and Napoli. Brighton have held discussions with Fenerbahce and made an opening offer. Manchester United or Arsenal may make a counter offer with the player available. Both sides could consider including a player in their offers. }."
1.) 25 Aug 2026 02:32:36
Gone but never forgotten. Place is not the same since, no offense to the Ed's, but Noone can throw shade with such distain as the original Don.

Wow, Rip Franco Baresi, best central defender I have ever seen in my lifetime. What a player.
Was part of imo the best club side I've seen in my lifetime, AC Milan of the late 80's, early 90's.
I even had the Mediolanum sponsored shirt before it was pinched by a tea leaf on holiday many years ago.
1.) 31 Jul 2026 11:56:16
Part of that era of unbelievable Italian defenders, Baresi, Maldini, Costacurta etc. Brilliant player and a big loss.
2.) 31 Jul 2026 12:55:53
?Tassotti at RB too. Ancelotti, Evani, Rijkaard, Donadoni across midfield, Gullit & Van Basten up front. What a side.
3.) 31 Jul 2026 13:30:05
Magic team. Hard as nails and plenty of flair.
4.) 31 Jul 2026 21:13:49
My favourite team of all time in that era (beyond Utd). Pure class all the way through it.
5.) 31 Jul 2026 23:18:38
The golden age of Italian football for sure. Names that just roll off the tongue. Yet, according to some on social media, all the greatest players to ever play the game are playing it now. Baresi had it all and just looked so calm and composed, absolute world class, and his medals prove it.
6.) 31 Jul 2026 23:24:54
My favourite defender ever.
03 Dec 2025 17:51:10
Hi Ed, can you check on 2 different logins? Je suis unite posts suspiciously similar to redrebel1 on the Liverpool page. Just had a quick check and I'm intrigued.
{Ed033's Note - They don't appear to be the same poster.

Supa, you love your conspiracy theories ?.
2.) 04 Dec 2025 22:19:13
And so he should, Nou. Genuine and a thinker. Also loves chillies.
I'm a conspiracy theorist.
My pronouns are Told/You/So.
16 Oct 2026 13:40:23
Hurzeler, Howe or Nagelsmann. In that order of preference for me. All 3 require higher intensity from their teams which is what we seem to be lacking most. Simeone would be good too but never going to happen.
Carrick looks like he's had enough anyway.
24 Aug 2026 20:15:13
There is a cut and paste i posted to the banter page from Ed002 in July 2024 ref: Kadioglu when we and others were 1st linked to him.
I think rumour today is £40 million deal whichever way it is totalled.
13 Jul 2026 12:18:43
Ronnie would be pleased with this! Only been waiting about 10 years for us to sign him.
15 May 2026 16:33:11
Do we want a lucky, good coach, or a top name?
Obviously, my favourite, if available, would be Luis Enrique, but as we know, it rarely works out well unless they embed themselves in a club's history and culture. We've had big names since SAF.
If it is to be Carrick, then give him extra resources in players, as we will need it with the extra games.
For instance, I thought we were light in midfield with a trimmed squad.
If Casemiro and Ugarte leave, we need 3 x CM of very good quality imo, just to start with.
17 Jan 2026 19:22:48
Strootman, Vidal or Milinković-Savić I heard.
03 Oct 2026 09:40:23
City's appeal already has a huge contradiction in it based on 2015 evidence produced for other evidence regarding government and Etihad money. They are going out guns blazing and this is not looking good for Burnham if people dig a little deeper imo. It maybe that City's money feathered his nest whilst he was Mayor.
03 Oct 2026 09:45:36
Manchester City's key defence in their appeal against the Premier League guilty verdict is undermined by statements made by their title sponsor Etihad Airways to the US government in 2015 This will get worse for them based on the big error in their appeal.
There is no way around this unless the Labour government & Burnham somehow intervene to give a softer punishment.
This all should go into a criminal investigation the more it unravels.
29 Sep 2026 11:39:46
Yep agree, big points deduction soon along with transfer ingoing transfer bans, huge fine. Then City can take as long as they want to appeal.
25 Sep 2026 20:52:49
Not including all Premier League clubs including past PL clubs effected will be suing for lost positions, missed champions league spots, relegation. City players having clauses. Huge ramifications.
25 Sep 2026 15:53:44
Well I think City will have to be evaluating a lot more transfers out the door. Heavy sanctions incoming and obviously why Pep left the building in the summer. He knew what was coming.
