Rumoured Arda Turan

[J.F. 1,484]

they don't need to be constructive.... they are pointless...

Are u going to change your nickname when Cech join Arsenal?

[Pizy 18,852]

Just doesn't seem like the player we should be signing at all, as good as he is. We already have one impotent attacking midfielder in Willian. We need more goals from that position.

He's definitely a Mourinho type player and would be perfect if we didn't have Willian.

Nope.

[iseah100 5,612]

I'd like him at Chelsea. Type of player Jose loves, fights for the team and plays a position Chelsea is weak at.

I must admit Ive never watched AM and took special notice about him. Thinking about him as a real neutral what are his strengths and weaknesses?

[Spike 12,049]

idk if its opinions changing or that there's just an entirely different bunch of people on here now but when we were looking to sign him for around £20m 2/3 seasons ago you'd struggle to find 3 members on here who didn't follow the crowd in calling him a shit and useless player just because he lacked pace

I think it was more that he was a Galatasaray player. Now he has won trophies in Spain and is perceived as a 'hot commodity'. Nationality, league, and physical attributes (or lack thereof) can really pull the wool over some people's eyes.

I'm no expert on Arda Turan nor Atleti but whoscored lists his strengths as:

Passing

Dribbling

Holding on to the ball

Defensive contribution

Likes to do layoffs

Likes to play short passes

Likes to tackle

Should get Turan just so he can do this to the officials when we don't get a penalty...

Hi friend!

His strengths are that Arda Turan combine the creative with the defensive sacrifice, he is a special talent (when Arda leads a play something different will happen) but able to fight and sacrifice for the team. Perfect to withstand the pressure in big games. A kind of classic N. 10 (and romantic N. 10) but with ability to play both sides (but mainly on the right side), perfect for giving the last pass and despair the opposing defenses. A magician.

His weaknesses are his physical condition (if he is unmotivated Arda tend to forget about training properly to escape injuries) with an anarchic tactical sense sometimes and Arda is a player who depends too much on his motivation / implication. He needs always play or always feel important in the team, but Arda can not play every game, twice a week, every minute because of his physical condition. Jose would have to find a balance with him, but Jose is perfect for this.

Regards.

Read all the lists myself but it doesnt tell you from our neutral viewpoint.

Cheers mate

Sounds like he might be a good no.10 for us then. What we miss is a game changer. Someone who can come on (and if hes that good he will start) and change the game, The depth/alternatives we have up front are pretty much all similar so the opposition dont need to make any changes when they happen. Apart from Hazard who is a step or 2 up on most I bet teams we play dont have fear for the other AMs we have. Theyre good yes but thats just the same as some chick we fancy telling us that she thinks we are NICE but......

[quickpassnmove 924]

slow week for transfer rumor traffic on websites.

it's even more preposterous that United would have any interest in Turan.

The 'bomb' is Arda Turan (of Barcelona)

The Atletico Madrid midfielder is the player who has 'tied' Bartomeu

His addition is a stated desire to Luis Enrique, as it was to Aleix Vidal

The Turk wants to leave the Calderon and his clause of 41 million, is affordable

The sports newspaper of Catalonia ("Mundo deportivo") said today that the big signing of Bartolomeu (current president of Barcelona and candidate for the next four years) is Arda Turan.

Obviously they are just rumors, but Arda is an interesting option for us and, according to his agent, he wants to come to Premier League and foremost join Chelsea. We'll see what finally happens ...

Arda Turan could give us that capacity to improvise that we do not. This season we have been sometimes too predictable on the pitch. Arda perhaps would help us in this area, and perhaps we should fight for him.

Regards.

Laporta is promising Pogba and Bartomeu responds with Turan ?

Won't be surprised if the first wins easily, as he wants to highlight unicef rather than qatar again and various stuff..

[LondonsFinest 692]

Signing Arda would give us depth and a big game player. I don't see it being bad, just wish he was a tad younger. His drive and mentality is admirable. He'd also give the chance for youths to come if need be and Oscar doesn't develop. I'm 50/50 about this one. Would prefer Sterling or Griezmann, but I wouldn't moan.

Hi friend!

Maybe this sounds like something crazy for my part, but for me Arda Turan would be a better option for Barcelona than Pogba considering the style of play Barcelona.

Pogba need spaces to run and feel comfortable, but Arda Turan can play well both with spaces as without them.

I do not want to start a war with supporters of Paul Pogba, but seeing the philosophy of play of F.C. Barcelona I would sign Arda Turan than Pogba. Pogba for me would be making the biggest mistake of his career if he signed for Barcelona.

About Laporta, this guy is a cheap philosopher, a failed politician who wanted to be the first president of the Republic of Catalonia when they got their independence and all Catalans have rejected him at the polls. So he's back to try to be president of Barcelona. But Laporta uses a fanatically racist and xenophobic language against the Spaniards. This guy is not reliable. Everyone can think what they want about the independence of Catalonia, obviously, I personally think are the Catalans who have to decide their future freely and with a referendum, but it is not necessary to attack the rest of Spanish with xenophobia.

Unicef is obviously better than Qatar (it is incomprehensible that Qatar has been sponsored Barcelona), no doubt, but Laporta is a cynical which uses Unicef

to clear his criminal background about stealing money in Spain With Barcelona in taxes. For example, Laporta put in the financial accounts of Barcelona that they had spent 20 million euros so that players of Barcelona sleep before the matches in a hotel ... three months before the hotel was open its doors to the public ....
