Arda Turan

[God Serena]

Let's give Arda a chance to prove his worth. I have no doubt he loves us and wants to stay, let's see what he does this season and then decide.

He had his chance and he failed, in epic fashion.

Let's not pretend his issue is as simple as not being able to adapt.

I am not convinced yet.

It is not up to us. He is refusing to leave. Barcelona have shown by our signings he is not wanted. He wants to live out his retirement at Barcelona and there is nothing we can do to stop him.

Just yesterday I heard Barca denied Arda will leave the club..

 

[Flavia]

I am not convinced yet.

I'd rather give his minutes to André, Denis and Rafinha.

Yeah, Robert seemed adamant that he's not being offloaded. It wouldn't be the first time a club makes such a statement only to sell shortly after, though.

Jesus, "he failed in epic fashion"! WTF did he do, scored 10 own goals? Guy barely played after a 6 month lay off..., he didn't even have time to fail in that epic fashion you're talking about.

"Failed in epic fashion!". Really, this cracked me up, no offense.

If you say so...

If you say so...

These are the fahcts.

I will give him benefit of the doubt that sitting on the bench for 5 months made him rusty. I'm hopeful that that he will be much better this season. Don't sell i would say...

Agreed. People are going way overboard here.

He got outperformed by Rafinha who had a broken leg for longer than Arda was banned.

That's a pretty epic fail right there.

 

[Barcilliant]

My feeling is Arda is a popular guy off the field and that's why we are keeping him. Always see him laughing and joking with guys like Messi, Neymar, Iniesta.

 

[Neymessi]

We are not a small club that the 20m from his sale would be a big thing for us. HE deserves a chance and the worst that can happen is he doesn't perform and we can live that. I say he deserves another season.

Even though I agree that Arda probably won't make it here, some of the posts are crazy.

https://www.whoscored.com/Players/106590/Fixtures/Rafinha

Rafinha played 199 La liga minutes before an injury.
And 81 minutes after an injury.

Total 280 minutes, 10 minutes more than 3 full matches.
So, not only that Rafinha didn't play for too much.
But even when he did play, I don't remember any stellar performances.

So, honestly:
1. Arda was poor last season
2. and Rafinha didn't even play.
Rafinha wasn't good, bad or average.
Guy didn't even play so that we can compare him with anyone.
