Thing for me as far as Ciftci goes is that his last show of being anything close to a decent football was three years ago, and since then he's been at five clubs in three years.
Among his highlights over those years has been involvement in a mass brawl, and criticism in the media and from management about his fitness and application.
He's scored 11 goals in 50 games over those three years.
I know some see him as being worth a punt, but I just don't think he has the attitude and application to get back to where he was three years ago, let alone fit in with a team that has one of the highest work ethics in the league.
