Nadir Ciftci to join on loan? - Now Confirmed!
- Thread starter Argy1e
- Start date
Good stuff, Argyle can do no more than sign him, welcome aboard son :clap:
However...the Baggo article ends with what is hopefully just a standard 'subject to clearance'.
Now I have no wish to go looking for potential flies in the ointment here but something jumped out at me on Wikipedia, namely his last loan...
Pogoń Szczecin (loan) 16 February 2017, Ciftci joined Polish club Pogoń Szczecin on a loan deal until the end of the season. He had a disappointing spell there after failing to net a single goal in eight appearances. In the start of June 2017, Ciftci suffered an ankle injury and was sent back home to Celtic.
I know nothing of the timings of the Polish league season, I know little more about international transfer regulations. Something in a deep crevice of my memory from the days we used to sign players who had played oversees however recalls that multiple international transfers were not allowed in either a calendar year or within the same season.
I am always impressed with the knowledge of obscure rules and regulations that some contributors to this site have. So can anyone out there confirm at what date (by international convention) does one season end and another begin and thus if his playing for Pogon Szczenin as recently as June might cause him to fall foul of that rule?

ETA - The 2016/17 season finished on 4th June
The hype I've seen on twitter is a little silly ("announce L1 title" etc), and there's a lot a questions still to be answered.
But somewhere in Ciftci there's a quality player who can do very well at our level. Its whether he and Argyle can work together to really harness the potential we've seen in the past.
Fingers crossed!

My Celtic fanatic mate tells me he is better than Cillian Sheridan but he is A huffy big tw*t, which I guess in Scottish parlance means he has a bit of an attitude. A bit of a risk but I like to think Adams will get the best out of him.
