supporter 3,088 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 All this season we have had the problem of being very predictable in our rhythm game, a problem that was increased when Fabregas was well covered by our rivals.I think we need players with unpredictable ability to revolutionize a match and Arda Turan is perfect for this. Maybe his stats are not the best in the world, but Xavi Hernandez or Iniesta do not have good statistics and are the best in the world in midfield. Turan can solve one of our big problems.And Arda also works for the team as the best. A player with a capacity of sacrifice unbecoming of a player of his quality.Seriously, Arda Turan would be a great signing. One of the few different players available on the market.Regards.

termninja 5,290 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Turan transfer can turn out bad yeah, but he's full of experience and is mature enough to handle the mental pressure of PL and Jose's management. Having Hazard, Oscar, Willian, Cuadrado and Turan competing for 3 am positions is a great balance of everything - age, pace and technique. We definitely are in for a winger/am and is we can't sign Griezmann then besides Turan I can't really see a suitable player we could bring that would be a low risk low money transfer. 20m pounds for Turan is fair money, just the right price for clubs to agree on. As of Reus I don't know as nothing is being reported on him for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 If its for £20M I'm all in, if we pay the full buy out I'm all out.Good player but perhaps only marginally improves our XI... We will still need to make a big splash in the summer for this move to look amazing. Coupled with Falcao this deal makes me feel like I did after we won the double with Carlo and made Ramires our big summer signing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPetrCechx 13,573 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Arda Turan would be very close to Mourinho's Chelsea (via @andremarinpuig) #CFC #Atletico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar 441 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Turan does do something only Eden does well and that is hold the ball....No one on the team outside of eden can hold the ball up well... Signing turan doesn't really hurt the team because jose can rotate between the 4 ams, rather than wait to burn them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Hmm, it seems he will come. As always I will try to trust Jose on his decision again. This also means no Sterling, Griezmann or Pogba? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheIceMan 596 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 No one on the team outside of eden can hold the ball up well... I'm sorry but Costa, Willian, Matic, Fabregas just to name a few. The whole tactics in some matches is to hold the ball well, and this can not be done just by one player!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 We still need a CM...I'm afraid Turan is the kind of midfielder Jose talking about to sign on that interview. He is not specific about the exact position winger, CM or AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supporter 3,088 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Now our next move in the market (if we finally signed Arda Turan) should be an attacking midfielder (or playmaker).I think this move will depend on Oscar. If Juventus (he will receive a lot of money by Pogba operation) offered us 30 or 35 million pounds, I think it would be a good option to sell him.The problem is whom we would have to sign: Koke is impossible, Gundogan is going to be a season in Borussia and he will go to another team free on 2016, Pogba has a price out of the market and Barcelona is willing to pay, seems that Verratti to stay at PSG ...There are not many options on the market. I think Jose will be working in a surprise signing that has not been leaked to the press. Journalists shoot everywhere but they do not seem very sure of our objetive.Regards.

Gilvorak 3,734 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 All this season we have had the problem of being very predictable in our rhythm game, a problem that was increased when Fabregas was well covered by our rivals.Our problems in the 2nd half of the season were. 1. Lack of rotation in the 1st half which led to fatigue. 2. Jose's reverting to defensive tactics at the first sign of adversity (5-3 vs Spurs) 3. Oscar disappearing for monthsI think we need players with unpredictable ability to revolutionize a match and Arda Turan is perfect for this. Maybe his stats are not the best in the world, but Xavi Hernandez or Iniesta do not have good statistics and are the best in the world in midfield. Turan can solve one of our big problems.Except Arda Turan offers us nothing different. He's a slower version of Willian, he's hailed for his defensive nous & ball carrying ability but he's not an X-factor type player or match-winner. He doesn't possess Hazard's 'chaos factor' & doesn't get goals/assists.No offense but I genuinely cannot believe you compared Turan to Xavi who had 9/30 assist season in his prime. Iniesta's lack of end product would've been a problem if he didn't play alongside Messi & consistently raise his game in the bigger matches.And Arda also works for the team as the best. A player with a capacity of sacrifice unbecoming of a player of his quality.Workrate only gets you so far. We need quality not more grafters.Seriously, Arda Turan would be a great signing. One of the few different players available on the market.What we need is a technically gifted goalscoring winger that exploits space. Jose has tried (and failed) with Salah & Schurrle but it's clear as day that's the one major profile our team lacks. We have far too many ball to feet players. It's one of the biggest reasons why we're such an awful counter attacking team, Arda won't solve that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheIceMan 596 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Costa sucks at holding the ball. WTF this was the whole idea of him coming to Chelsea, because he have that Drogba like ability! not Cesc at all Hello remember where Cesc played and shined and Arsenal and Barcelona the best teams to hold the ball!I don't wanna sound, how should I say this aggressive but those things that you write sound ridiculous to me. Generally Ilike and share your opinions on the matters in this forum, but sorry this just crazy I thought this things were generaly established!

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Yes, but what about Vidal? Heard Pogba will want to leave, Barca most likely. Doubt Juventus will let their 2 most important midfielder go at the same window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the biggest reasons why we're such an awful counter attacking team, Arda won't solve that problem.OK, I accept what you say, but, no offense, I not agree with you. I think you should see more matches of Atletico de Madrid and Arda Turan. He's a magic player with ability to revolutionize a match from scratch.Regarding the statistics, I remember reading a statistic that said that Juan Mata had had better statistics than Eden Hazard in the last year and a half. The statistics are sometimes cheap philosophy. I've seen the last years Arda Turan in Atletico de Madrid (in live, in the Vicente Calderon stadium itself) and I can assure that when Arda Turan has the ball everyone knows that something will happen.Our big problem has been the approach at certain times of the season, it is true, but when we have had the ball we have been very predictable, unable to play in tight spaces. With Arda Turan this will improve.And regarding our approach, our counterattacks would be better with a player like Arda Turan, a player with great ability to think fast and launch attacks.Seriously dude, I do not want to argue, but I think we're underestimating Arda Turan. He is not Xavi or Iniesta, obviously, but Arda Turan is a good player to have a midfield that makes us fight for every trophy.Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
