Rumoured Arda Turan

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

let us summarise the above comments,

Oscar is shit

Turan is shitter

Nope, I'd say they're about the same quality now barring pace of which Oscar has more.

However, buying a 28 year old player to replace a 23 year old player is negligent, and driven by "grass is greener" syndrome.

The team front 6 of

Matic Cesc

Willian Oscar Hazard

Costa

after the thrashing of Swansea in early January did not play together when in form again, and before hand it was tearing up everything in its path. Cesc got injured and never really recovered in time for the end of the season; same with Costa and the ideal replacement Remy along with him. Matic got suspended. When they all came back none were in the form they were in pre-January. We played against some teams with Zouma in midfield and a 37 year old Didier Drogba (who still ended the season with better stats than the fabled Falcao we have just signed) up front, Oscar up front or on the right wing, and overworking Hazard which is showing with his national team. All the replacements completely ruined the balance of the team such as when we tried to play Ramires on the wing or in central midfield; and we won the COC with an out of position CB at DM who did fantastically well there. We held up defensively because other than a brief blip in Cahill's form, the back 4 stayed together and when Zouma came in, arguably it made the back line stronger.

3 years of the same shit excuse. yes, oscar's the only one who runs on the field. oscar's the only one who went to the WC. absolutely LOL-max.

No Oscar is the only one who hasnt had a pre-season at Chelsea.

what makes you think Turan is going to replace Oscar?

Oscar is a far better player than arda turan was at 24yrs. Nevertheless an experienced turan and young oscar will be nice to have.

then, his start of the season should be poor. but surprisingly, its actually his second half of the season which sucks. does not make sense to me.

Says something about Luis Enrique requesting Arda and that he'll sign him or something.

how did you wrok that out?

[didierforever 7,349]

how did you wrok that out?

huh?

a player who does not have a pre-season, is normally slow off the blocks at the start of the season. not many training sessions and game time with the new guys, the chemistry, the wavelength.

pretty simple actually.

Turan ain't coming to Chelsea

If they're similar players it would make sense for him to replace Oscar.

[Polo7 3,496]

If we dont get him then I hope Willian gets more time as a no.10. Cant deal with another season of clueless chicken Oscar.

no more like he has a few weeks off before returninng, so is fresh for the early part of the season, but because of the lack of a pre-season he is unable to maintain those levels as the seaosn progresses, That is how these things work

[Pizy 18,861]

Really wanted him.

no Turan can play RW, CAM and CM, Oscar can play CAM and RW both are versatile players, you could easily fit them both in the same 11

Bartomeu (candidate and current president of Barcelona): "Luis Enrique requested Arda and the Manager (which is provisional until the elections) should sign him"

The candidate, told to Cadena SER: "The Management should sign a player like that. They must do. They must sign Arda and that he is already incorporated in the preseason."

It seems to be true that there is an agreement. But Arda Turan's agent said there was no agreement with Barcelona. This is quite rare.
