I admire your optimism but all 3 Utd signings are worryingly average at best. Looks like the step up is too big. Hope I'm wrong but they should have settled by now. |

Not enough pace or trickery to play out wide. I'm hoping he's playing there because of the lack of options. |

There's a footballer there. Zero confidence likely from being played out of position and not been fit all season. Whilst on the ground today he said to someone 'my backs effed'. As someone who's said this many times I sympathise with him. |

Was happy we signed him, but this season he has been really poor. |

I thought he was playing well today until the injury. As anyone on here who has back issues will testify, when it goes, you're effed. |

In a nutshell mate. I'd fear for his long term fitness. One just has to look at Tiger Woods in the sporting world. |

Feck me, I would be delighted if Ciftci was worryingly average. He is piss poor. Judging on last season, I think both Armstrong and GMS are better than they have shown this season. Both seem to lack confidence which they had in abundance last season. For an explanation, go to the RD thread. |

People slating him for going off with a back injury...you try playing with one and see how you get on ffs. He's had several of them so far and as others have pointed out it's a debilitating condition, and very hard to recover from if it's bad enough. Not everyone who gets injured is a softie or whatever - if there's one thing I hate in Scottish football it's this "regularly injured = shampooebag" mentality. People can have injuries for the most ridiculous of reasons, caused by the most minuscule of knocks. Given he has a recurrency of the same thing, he's hardly jumping ship and letting the team down on purpose; would you all say that Vincent Kompany is a shampooebag? He keeps coming off with the same thing. Is he a big fearty who's not got the fight in him, as well? I do a job far less physically demanding than being a footballer and have back issues and eff me it wears me down - would hate to try and play with the same injury. Best of luck to him in his recovery, hopefully he can come through it in the long-term. There's a really good player in there, somewhere. Edited by adammce, 28 Dec 2015, 08:53 PM.

Good SPL player but he needs to up it and fast. Its not obvious what his best position is and he seems too nice to grab the game by the scruff neck. Can't remember his last good game |

Up and down, I would say. On everyone´s starting 11 just 1-2 months ago, so he has not been all bad. And both him and GMS did pretty well last season, so too early to conclude that they were bad signings. (Edit: I know you didn´t say they were bad signings).

You could see him telling the Hearts player that his back was effed. He's not been fully fit all season, he shouldn't be back on the pitch until the issue is 100% sorted. It doesn't do him, or us, any good. |

I suspect there's been an injury issue all season with him. His mobility and touch just seem so far off. Can't be sure that it's not a confidence issue but he's looked physically uncomfortable on the field. |

As the man himself said when he was sitting on the turf, "my backs effed." Could explain his shampooe performances for most this season. |

To be fair up until he went down I thought he was playing well, the match changed when he went off, culminating in Forrest's moment of stupidity with four minutes to go. |

Thought I'd give this a bump. Personally, I'm pleased that he's put a few decent performances in recently. Hopefully he kicks on from here, as I've always liked him although he was undeniably struggling with confidence earlier in the season. |
