Borja and Arda have very different roles tho. I think Atletico is looking for a mature midfield general, there arent many in Spain, and out of the big 2, Borja might be the best playmaker.

Arda is pretty much a CM, Borja plays something similar no??

Arda does nothing in a game bar lose the ball, Borja would seriously upgrade that team to the next level

From what I know, Arda learned his trade in Turkey playing as an advanced playmaker on the wing, ala Gotze for Dortmund altho i dont like the comparison.

He had a good start with Atletico but seems to me like Simeone appreciates wingers like Juanfran, Salvio etc... and hard working players. I can see how they beat out Arda.
