Arda Turan

[Flavia]

Sure, but I'm curious to see what happens when one of those 3 gets benched say, in a CL semifinal.

I don't think none of them have the diva profile.

Not sure if you mentioned it, but his interception led to messi's first goal.

 

[FC B]

I my view he had the debut of a great player. Hope he confirms my assumption.

It took turan a half to figure out his position, his movement and role in the pitch, it took a couple months for rocketic last year.
High expectations for turan, he's a real gem.

Hahaha back then the whole team was underperforming except Neymar and had no structure whatsoever.

Starting to be happy with depth again

Messi was as always our best player then but yes the team was bad.

 

[Alarcón]

Really? Well that's disappointing. I hate that prick.

I'll try to forget that piece of info.

Yea but I think it has nothing to do with politics... Arda just said that he considers him a friend as he has known him for a long time and Erdogan has always been supportive of him. Guess that's what comes with being the greatest athlete in a country run by a dictator, same as Chavez with F1 driver Maldonado a few years back.

Welcome to the forum!

Probably one of the greatest first posts of all time.

Having watched just the highlights above, he struck me as a bit of nervous and still out of sync which is natural given that this is his first game with the team. I am sure he will get better and better and unleash his potential.

Welcome Arda, wholeheartedly!

 

[raskolnikov]

He became better in the second half imo, but its logical after being out for so long.

 

[Barcilliant]

At a club like Barca competition for places should be a given. Too often in the past we've had a mediocre bench. So when a player is out of form or not motivated we suffer. This keeps everyone sharp.

Great debut after such a long pause, can only get better

 

[Cule4life]

When Asspanyol goalkeeper confronted him he was like "Bitch please i'm Leonidas"....
