What you laughing at mate. He'd be starting at Chelsea. For Barca he's just a depth signing, though a really strong one. The only con is his age, though he can make an instant impact.

His teammates are going to love him. This is what Costa said about him in an interview a few days ago.

Diego Costa on Arda Turan: ''He is such a great person. He invited us to eat at his house many times; I really liked his kebab.''

Some mod changed my team logo durning the Messi to Chelsea saga.

Let's not get into technicalities.

by Onyx Mon Jul 06, 2015 10:24 pm

Turan is a 4-2-3-1 player. Not only that he's not good enough to start at Barca. €41m for an unnecessary player, sounds like a Perez move. Laughing

Eh? Could've sworn when I saw them play Turan mostly played as a wide attacking midfielder in a 4-4-2 for Atletico scratch

by Onyx Tue Jul 07, 2015 12:32 am

Yeh, 4-2-3-1 as in his ideal position would be either RM/CAM/LM. He's not a CM or a 4-3-3 winger to play in that formation imo.

Mt is right. He has 5 years of fifa experience.

Wouldn't be the first time, they sold Demichellis to City for 5m after buying him in the same transfer season for free Laughing

What a strange move rofl

by zenmaster Tue Jul 07, 2015 6:14 am

Barcelona's another should-not-have-paid-THIS-much signing.

Laughing

by Myesyats Tue Jul 07, 2015 11:49 am

He's got great technique and is great on the ball. I think he can play in Iniesta's position in a 4-3-3. Enrique likes to rotate alot so he can be either subbed on for Iniesta or Neymar.

Other than that what a fcking stupid transfer. Pretty sure even a 5 year old could name a handful of cheaper and younger options...

by ahmad25 Tue Jul 07, 2015 11:58 am

He also can sing :facepalm:

by Kick Tue Jul 07, 2015 12:01 pm

Turan's agent confirmed that Chelsea had not contacted Turan.

Atletico's president Cerezo: "Offers from Man Utd and Chelsea, yes, there were several offers, but he preferred to move to Barcelona"

There was interest but Turan's only option was Barca. Mad

by eelir Tue Jul 07, 2015 12:24 pm

LE insisted on signing him. I don't agree with the price, but I will give a benefit of the doubt for our treble winning coach. He can have this transfer as a perk after what he did for us past season.

by Myesyats Tue Jul 07, 2015 12:42 pm

Yeah. The fee is quite ridiculous but he can make instant impact and is a brilliant sub. Don't know why I care about the cash again though, as if it goes from my pocket. Arda is a massive addition tbh.

by The Franchise Tue Jul 07, 2015 12:50 pm

The problem is not that the cash isnt coming out of your pockets, the problem is we cant sign other players who can actually do a better job.

by Highburied Tue Jul 07, 2015 1:11 pm

Is it the most expensive 'Warm up on the sidelines, in case Neymar is tired' signing?

by halamadrid2 Tue Jul 07, 2015 1:27 pm

Weirdest move this decade for both parties

This club pisses me off, must have the worst negotiators in the whole of Europe. Seen scrubs being sold for more than all the youngsters we've sold. So many loan deal FFS

41M is his release clause apparently. I hope it's not him who we're signing, the guy's attitude is awful
