Agreement with Atlético Madrid for the signing of Arda Turan

[r2dturk]

I think this deal has some financial reasons. With the transfer of Arda, barca will sell;
1- A lot of Arda kits in Turkey (Turkish people will not buy Atletico kit for Arda but they already buy barcelona kit, with Arda's transfer it will go wild.
2- La liga boardcast rights in Turkey will be much much more valuable.
3- Something about Turkish airlines being the sponsor of barca....
Arda is the captain of Turkish national team and has a lot of Turkish fans (not only Galatasaray fans). So barca will raise their market in Turkey.

Arda is an awesome player but the way he was signed is outrageous.

This article from TotalBarca sums up exactly why I have a problem with his signing:

Those comments from the 1st page
The transfer is a slap in the face to other presidential candidates, was it so hard to wait a few more days...

Totally worth it and it will pay off three folds if Barca get the treble again . Lack of creativity (except for messi ) was worrisome last season and arda will give us an edge . I think even if plays one good season we will get our money back and much much more . Congrats to Barca and to Arada is say " hoşgeldiniz '
