Rumoured Arda Turan

Should Arda sign, he cannot play until January 1, 2016; when FIFA's sanction for when players may enter #FCB expires. (Mundo Deportivo)

Bet my arse it's nearly done. He said it himself he wants a change of scenery. Would be really surprised if he goes to Barca, would, at least in my eyes, mean that Griezmann is ours.

[supporter 3,088]

Btw, are you sure Bartomeu is talking about a Spanish player or a player for La Liga?

He said a Spanish player. And put smiles to journalists when they asked about Isco or Koke.

This weekend "Marca" reported on a meeting between Bartomeu and Gil Marin (an important man in Atletico de Madrid) in Ibiza to talk about Koke And Pedro Rodriguez.

But Bartomeu said it was a Spanish player. Sure.

I'm as excited as Spiderman seeing a building reading all these 'Barcelona' links.

It could make me dribble down my leg IF we managed to get him AND Griezmann. In fact those 2 would make getting Falcao a reasonable idea. Having them all together again would give them all a buzz I'd have thought. So Ive got everything crossed.

Mundo are quoting Catalunya Radio about Barca and Turan. SPORT say he is close to Chelsea as do Marca (not very reliable i dont think) Would he really want to train for 6months and do nothing else, or go play regularly elsewhere

Haha and this player not come to the Bridge , lol

We look to the next , who is ?! boring summer

[Myself 793]

Oh how I would love for us to sign Turan. Absolutely love him.

fuckin nightmare for fuckin sake, fuck me, sign griezmann not this crazy motherfucker

It's unsurprising seeing Mou fanboy over Simeone's Atleti given that in his last 3 meetings with them (once they became a force) he drew once and lost twice. Those defeats came at the Bernabeu in a final and at Stamford Bridge in the CL SFs, an incredibly impressive feat.

It would seem easier to adopt their tactics than buy all their players but what the heck. Next up, Griezmann!

Atletico is a club with world class players and no means of keeping them when the big European clubs come to take them.

Chelsea buys from Atletico because they are easy to negotiate with. It's ridiculous to assume Mourinho bought Costa, Filipe Luis, etc. because they were Atletico players, rather than world class players readily available for purchase.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are arguably the only other clubs in Europe more attractive than Chelsea when it comes to career destination currently. Except those two are rivals of Atletico, so Chelsea is an easy pick for these players.

tbh, i never rated him and i still don't

[Unionjack 7,531]

I dont mind a player having a bit of an ego or some sort of psychotic tendencies as long as they have the skills to go with it (see Costa lol) And I do think him joining backup with lads he has played (our current lads and Falcao) with will settle him in quicker.

But we should be glad Ramos isn't coming. Imagine that raging ball of fury - how many reds is he going to see?

Arda Turan has been looking for London house

[the wes 7,212]

quote from turan

“I am thinking about buying a house in London nothing too fancy something like a 180 square meter flat I just would like a place in London,” Turan said.

“If I have kids they could study from there it just seems a good idea to have one foot in London.”

Agree with this. Though something along the lines of £8-10m + Luis wouldnt horrify me.
