GazzyB Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Cifti interview was surprising, expected him to come across as a bit of a wanker but seemed pretty sincere. I reckon this is gonna work out well for both parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukemfc1 Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Good interview from Robbo (as usual) at the training camp. He's said that he is looking for possibly 2 defenders. Didn't mention another attacking option, I thought Burrows said something about this but might have been pre Cifti. Anyway encouraging news, hopefully a full back and a centre back will be in soon. With all the movement I'd be surprised if we don't see a few out the door. Curious to see who we can shift. My guess would be - Plummer - not had a chance but seems to be nowhere near the first team, would seem pretty premature but he's taking a wage at the moment for not much. Fisher - let's be honest it hasn't worked. Feel sorry for the guy but I think we would do well to move him on. Other than that the only possibilities I can see are Bigi, Demi, Newall or Bowman. All of which might have their negatives but I genuinely think they have something to offer the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goggles & Flippers Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Cifti interview was surprising, expected him to come across as a bit of a wanker but seemed pretty sincere. I reckon this is gonna work out well for both parties. Looked almost if some humility had creeped in over time, no doubt driven by the not too glowing messages from Plymouth fans upon hearing he was leaving. He has to step up to the plate as he's now in that pivotal point of his career. He was signed by Ronnie at Celtic so take that with a pinch of salt.

gee Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Would be surprised if we havent enquired about taking Ben Hall on loan for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 also thought Cftci was a twat regardless of how many goals he scored as someone else said it will be up to Roberson to manage him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderpig Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Would be surprised if we havent enquired about taking Ben Hall on loan for the season. Why would we enquire about him ? he is 20 years old and since he left for Brighton he has only made a couple of appearances for their U 23 team in the 18 months since he left, no goals either. He may turn out to be a good player but there is not much evidence to support that, would he get into our current 1st team, no chance, so why would we want him back ?

steelman1991 Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 think it is here http://tenerifetoptraining.com/en/football-rugby/ Thanks - just too far from where we are to pay a visit.

fizoxy Posted January 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 To be fair, I think he said that if a player is currently playing/scoring goals regularly then we probably cant afford him. But that doesnt necessarily mean he cant score regularly for us. Teams pay money for guaranteed goalscorers, we have to try and be clever and find players whos stock has dropped recently and figure out how we can turn them around.

gdalli10 Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Says in the interview he has taken a couple of defenders with him to Tenerife to have a look at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrosshillWell Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 I was speaking to someone who knows Ciftci well. Seems he had a nightmare in Poland and didn't settle. As for Plymouth, Adams was arrogant and alouf with him. No surprise there. He seems keen for a fresh start and recapture his Dundee United form. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welldaft Mk1 Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Sun confirming Robinson is after Ben Henaghan on loan but Ben has many options so it chances of it happening may be less than 50/50. Also stating we have bounce game on Saturday lined up against Osterunds. Swedish club if I recall that have come from nowhere to the Europa League Group stages. Wonder where that is taking place ?

Motherwell want to take Ben Heneghan back to Fir Park in a loan deal from Sheffield United The 24-year-old, who cost £400,000, has become frustrated and manager Chris Wilder is ready to let him go out on loan EXCLUSIVE By Derek McGregor 10th January 2018, 10:32 pm Updated: 10th January 2018, 10:35 pm MOTHERWELL boss Stephen Robinson wants to take Ben Heneghan back to Fir Park. Robinson has confirmed to SunSport he is seeking a loan deal for the defender, who quit Well for Sheffield United on deadline day last August but has yet to play a game. Ben Heneghan KEITH CAMPBELL - THE SUN GLASGOW Heneghan is a loan target for Stephen Robinson The 24-year-old, who cost £400,000, has become frustrated and manager Chris Wilder is ready to let him go on loan. And Robinson has made his pitch for the defender, who played 50 games in his 14 months with the Steelmen. The Northern Irishman has already landed strikers Curtis Main and Nadir Ciftci this month. He has targeted at least two more signings, including Heneghan, before Well return from their winter camp in Tenerife to play Hamilton in the Scottish Cup on January 20. Ciftci has joined on loan from Celtic Robinson, whose side face Ostersunds in a bounce game on Saturday, said: “I’m in constant touch with Ben. But he’s got a lot of options and other places he could go. “Ben hasn’t played at Sheffield United and he’s someone we’ve enquired about and spoken to. Our priority is another defender, especially a right-sided one, who can provide competition for Cedric Kipre and give us another right-back option. “Ben’s aware of our interest and he’s one of a few defenders we’ve had discussions about and are looking at. We’d love to have him back. “Realistically, it may be difficult for us. But I’ve not ruled it out.” Robbo confirmed to SunSport he is seeking a loan deal for defender Robinson has no concerns over loan capture Ciftci despite the Turk flopping in his last two loan moves from Celtic at Pogoń Szczecin and Plymouth. He added: “I’m very friendly with Darren Jackson while we have Craig Hinchcliffe on our staff here. Both worked with Nadir at Dundee United and speak very highly of him. I’ve also spoken to his mentor, Pierre van Hooijdonk. I’ve heard nothing but positives and I’ve been impressed with him in training. “He can be a big player for us. I’m also very happy we’ve got Curtis in.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 I rate Kipre and Hartley as better than Henneghan so I don't see the point in this move unless Cedric is leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Can he play for anyone else this season? You can only play for two clubs in a season. If he has played any kind of official match for Sheffield United then he can't play for a third club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellfan1984 Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Isn't it that certain loans do not count towards the rule in England so he could possibly go out on loan there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superward Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 This is old news no? Told the club he sees himself being loaned to League 1 down there... Think this is the first time Robinson has been quoted on it. Seems you are right though and the manager is only holding out a slim hope. Reading between the lines if Heneghan hasn't got a League 1 club, and we don't have a defender in come end of the window things could change.

Of course it's tabloid talk and should be viewed as such; and similarly whilst I can't claim to know the protocols involved in such situations but if I were to pick up a paper and read that manager X was quoted as being in constant contact with one of our players, unless permission had been granted I'd be inclined to think...Get yourself to fuck Manager X. Who are you talk transfers with one of our players whilst under contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dezz Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 "Ostersunds" Billy Reid's team. Hopefully the dugouts are reinforced. Didnt realise he was there. Ostersunds story is an interesting one. Based in the middle of nowhere and coached by an Englishman, theyve achieved something like 4 promotions in 5 years, won a cup and beat the likes of Galatasaray and Bilbao in this years Europa League. As far as I know theyre not being bankrolled or anything like that as theyve got a few guys that have been binned by the likes of York City starring for them. Also interested in signing Liam Henderson apparently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
