Rumoured Arda Turan

Cesc is shit when under pressure, Oscar and Willian too.

Come on, Willian is shit under pressure? thats nonsense.

Cesc also isnt "Shit", you're being way too critical. Cesc's problems with ball pressure is imo because of his physics, so in central midfield some midfielders can overpower him. But his ball control is probably the best after Hazard.

Not a big fan of this man. But curious how much he will cost us? Swap with Luis?

40m. And he has 29 years. I mean, they're selling the guy for a reason.

People comparing Oscar and Turan. First they are different kind of players. Second, people in this forum usually judge attacking players by the amount of goals they score. His career record is far from impressive. 13 league goals in 4 seasons for Atletico.

And last, come one people, I'm sure you all barely watched an Atletico game last season. Many here only watched Turan playing against us last season.

About Turan as a Chelsea player, he is the last thing this team need. The team is already solid in so many ways, but lack something special in the attack. Turan is a player of few goals and few assists. Imagining an attacking mid trio of Willian-Turan-Hazard, we can only imagine the team will rely even more on Hazards magic to win games, since Turan and Willian are unlikely to score more than 5 goals combined or even make more than 5 assists a season.

Oscar have a decent goal record, and can produce some magic moments like the assist to Hazard's goal against United.

For me Turan will be a squad player. But it seems some people see him as an instant starter. For me he is a very good player, but definitely not what this team needs. We are full of "hardworking" players, but its time to add something more to this squad.

I will try to explain; while Willian has good hold up play, when he gets under pressure, he almost never pulls something out of it. He might shield the ball, but wont make a pass, dribble etc to create opportunity. Thats why I think he is shit under presssure. He cant do anything but stay there and protect the ball. Hazard on other hand can despite being pressed, trick the opponent and run away/pass etc. Willian has his qualities, but when pressed he doesnt offer much in attacking sense.

About Cesc, you are right. He has very good ball control and tehnique, but loses that when he is pressed.

we definitely don't need this guy and i really hope we don't spend a dime on him... he is slow as fuck, no end product, no thanks!

[cfcs most wanted 657]

. And he has 29 years. I mean, they're selling the guy for a reason.

filipe luis is also 29 but we are selling him without any reason

The transfer rumors are not entirely correct. My agent is currently in touch with 3-4 clubs. I will update you all if a deal is made.

Too bad. Atletico will have hard time replacing Turan. They would replace Griezmann alot easier.

3-4 clubs; I would say barca, Psg and chelsea are certainly interested.

[Pizy 18,858]

Kind of ridiculous that he'd tweet that.

[Mechromancer 262]

Barcelona, pls. : (

Im going to guess PSG

[supporter 3,088]

According to reports from Catalonia, the candidate for the presidency of Barcelona (and current president of Barcelona) Bartolomeu, who is now the favorite to win the elections in FC Barcelona, has told to reporters that he will not sign Arda Turan, That Turan is not one of their objectives, and that he will announce in two weeks the signing of a great Spanish player, a top player for the midfield like Xavi Hernandez, a player who plays in La Liga, and, according to reports (not according Bartolomeu) that player will be Koke, Isco or Ander Iturraspe (one of them), but other journalists talk about Ander Herrera, but he not currently plaing in La Liga.

And reports from Catalonia say That Bartolomeu said that Turan has an agreement with a TOP major European team, and it seems that this team could be PSG.

Today "Marca", a sports newspaper from Madrid, says that Bartolomeu and Gil Marin, an important man in Atletico de Madrid, They have gathered this weekend in Ibiza to talk About Koke and Pedro Rodriguez "Pedrito" to make a deal.

In principle, Koke would be one more season at Atletico Madrid and then he would go to FC Barcelona. In Spain the rules restrict a player to play in two different teams of La Liga if that player has played more than four matches with a team. Therefore, Koke could only go to Barcelona this season if he was not playing until January, which seems unlikely counting with Eurocup next season.
