xPetrCechx 13,573 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Arda Turan is holding out for a move to Chelsea as he would rather join then over Barcelona or Man Utd. (Source: AS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDY 1,290 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I love smart, technical players so i'm all for this signing. Hazard - Willian - Turan Matic - FabregasThat team will dismantle any parked bus. Agreed. Not sure if it's just weird but I prefer these type of players like Willian & Arda who will help the teams overall play (just keeping the ball under pressure and just generally being reliable in possession) over players who if they're not scoring they aren't really doing anything positive in build up.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Sterling is 20 while Turan is 28. Under Mourinho i have no doubt Sterling can become world class. Yet we decide to go for a Turkish mammoth who can't even complete a full 90 minutes and doesn't remotely threat the goal post. The way you talk about Turan one would think man this guy is a world beater but the truth is he is just as fucking overrated as Sterling and while this guy is at maximum of his potential, Sterling is just at the beginning.This. So much! "Sterling is overrated" smh. It seems the ones who say he's overrated are those that are guilty of the same. Kid's 20.. Of course he's not a world class Ronaldo-esq mould player yet. His value is inflated because teams are paying for the obvious potential he's shown over the last 2 seasons. If Sterling does reach that potential then he's going to become much better than Turan ever was/will be (and that's no disrespect to Arda). (Also for argument sake, I don't see why we can't have both. Arda can be a utility player for depth, since we're probably gonna part ways with Salah & Cuadrado.)

Gilvorak 3,734 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Inter just got him in January and are happy to sell him for £12m within 6 months. That says a lot. Why you want him here I really do not know. Bayern never wanted him to despite the fact that they have 2 ageing wingers and Shaqiri when bought was meant to be a shrewd investment which obviously was not as they sold him permanently to Inter. Says a lot. Bayern and now Inter are ready to offload him. No thanks. Not even Liverpool are interested this time around.Bayern wanted him actually, he just chose to leave on his own accord because no one is overtaking Robben/Ribery. And Inter have sold the likes of Carlos, Coutinho, Pirlo, Seedorf, Bergkamp for peanuts in the past. They've always been historically bad at developing talent.Left footed inverted winger that's physically built enough to handle the rigours of English football. Technically gifted, fast, strong defensively & has a devastating shot from distance (something we've lacked since Lampard's decline/departure). Even if it doesn't work out he'll still have high resale value.He's shone in the Champions League (remember him knocking United out of the CL at Basel), with Switzerland & the World Cup.http://www.whoscored.com/Players/76304/History/Xherdan-ShaqiriI think he would be worth a shot & he's the type of player we usually target.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Would anyone else say no to a Salah/Shaqiri swap deal? Shaqiri ticks alot of boxes & we need the depth with Cuadrado also on his way out. I think he would be worth a punt.So you are against Turan but would take Shaqiri? mate you even watch football? When I tell you inter prefers Salah over Shaq, that should ring bells.I have heard enough anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before his Bayern days he had bags of potential. He was young, pacey and effective.. Stagnation of development on the bench does that to a player, once that happens certain players are just content with getting paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadavTKL 1,787 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I would take Shaqiri for Salah. But i would like to have other players (like Turan) before Shaqiri. I even prefer him over Cuadrado.Good ball control, strong, thats already better for us than Cuadrado and Salah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldportblue 547 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 LOL... now i see you are clutching at straws. its fine and honestly understandable considering your circumstances. so you are saying that jose wont want messi at chelsea if it was possible??also, these are not just some random rumors. we are being heavily linked with turan. there is a massive difference between the 2. he's right though, you can't claim jose is interested in turan/likes turan until jose himself says something or we sign him... or else, using your logic, jose loves every single player lister in the transfer rumors forum here lol...and even regarding barca we can't know if they are really interested or not, it may turn out to be complete bs altogether and he ends up signing for bursaspor or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 12,049 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 "He doesn't offer anything new" does not equate to "He doesn't offer anything better".Just because he may (or may not) be very similar to certain players in the squad does not mean he isn't more talented.

Before his Bayern days he had bags of potential. He was young, pacey and effective.. Stagnation of development on the bench does that to a player, once that happens certain players are just content with getting paid.Yeah he was among second tier bunch of talents (first tier I would consider Gotze, Hazard, Isco etc back then). Was very promising, but it was clear he wont get ahead of Robbery. However the long sit on bench had poor efect on him. He isnt bad player nowdays, but he is not pushing himself, but just stays as he is. Quite bad mentality tbh. Maybe a different, good coach would do a world of favour for him, but I wouldnt bring him here. Too much gamble, if we were in winter we brought Matic, it would be ok, but in between we tried Cuadrado, Salah, even Schurrle etc, it didnt realy work, so now I would prefere a more stable player there.
