Arda Turan

[Alik]

Arda doesn't come close to Pedro who has been one of the best wingers in the world this season.

We're talking about Pedro that was in the team with MSN obviously, and who left because he wasn't satisfied with his role.

 

[Horatio]

ok i give you one: in second group game against gladbach, we were down 1:0 late in the game without Messi, had we lost this one it could have been really tricky, but then suddenly out of nowhere somebody scored that crucial equaliser, when we most needed it. His Name is Arda...

Didn't Arda also score a crucial goal in the supercup game?

 

[Narto]

The "system" he is playing in is known to be one of the most creative systems worldwide.
He knows the system for one and a half years, so I assure you he won't understand it better.

Concerning the MSN, it is one of the fastest attacking formation worldwide.
Is he creative enough to take Messis or Neymar's place? No.
Is he fast enough to take Messis or Neymar's place? No.

Will he be able to contribute time to time? Definitely yes, but that doesn't make him different from what he is: a sluggish, slow and often lazy player with good skills and often good senses on the ground.

Him being better in the system was more of a comparison between this season and last.

I don't expect, or want, him to take over for Neymar. If he stays a sub that plays well when he comes on, that's fine by me. A lot of people just writes him off despite him playing well this season.

 

[DonAK]

If he's happy playing as a sub then so be it.

Take a paycut though.

 

[El Flaco]

Didn't Arda also score a crucial goal in the supercup game?

Actually, Arda scored 2 goals in the 2nd leg at Camp Nou.

He also made a nice chest assist to Suárez 1-0 goal at Pizjuán in 1st leg.

 

[The Destroyer]

I would like to see Arda feature at some point against Betis as I feel he has a point to prove you could see what it meant to him when he scored against Sociedad.

Arda doesn't come close to Pedro who has been one of the best wingers in the world this season.

Yeah, but Pedro was not willing to be always warming the bench.

You can't have everything.

 

[reaper]

Absolute garbage. Team improved in speed hugely when he was removed.

 

[ini4ever]

As long as I see him playing in midfield i don't give a shit about the rest anymore.

 

[Total-Football]

Our Coach need a Ball or 2 .. he doesn't have any

 

[blaugrana1987]

I told you all he is garbage. He simply doesnt want to play more then necessary, he is happy just to be in barca lockroom. Simply put fuck him and fuck lucho.

 

[Barcaman]

Can't blame this on Arda. He looked ok in first half but it's clear he doesn't have the stamina nor positional awareness for a cm

 

[DonAK]

Can we just stop this Arda midfield experiment....play him at LW if you have to play him.

 

[Narto]

Only creative option in midfield, too bad he lacks many of the other traits you need to play there. Even so decent first half.

He's lazy. He doesn't really try that hard.
