Word. Id'd sell him too but the hipocrisy is unbearable here. It's OK for Barca to force players out, but not cool if PSG forces Verratti to stay. Punish Arda for wating to stay and we're just as low of a club as PSG is.

Its not a charity. We have to think about whats best for the club. And no sane club will offer any money in a transfer fee for Arda while also taking on his massive contract he has with us. Thats just total stupidity. So we can forget about any "selling". Thats not gonna happen obviously.

Dont agree with that.

Think if he wants to go there will be teams that will take him and pay a fee.

It is whether he wants to go to those teams or not.

Joking aside, he's the best LW we have if Neymar is injured/suspended.

hmmm,but then again why are keeping Denis and Gerard on the team?
Gerard is far better as LW,he doesn't fit us as RW. Denis is also better as winger for us than midfielder since he still fail to be part of build up play in midfield.
Those guys has upside and need to play.

Great comparison.

Except that the coach don't want him or like big squads as Barto said himself.

So let's keep Arda in the squad and give him more minutes than Denis or others in the midfield because Arda want to stay and not letting him to do would make Barca as low of a club as PSG.

Had it been Bartra or someone else I'm sure the tune from you would have been different, but since it's a player you like it's hypocrisy :lol:


Valverde wanting Arda out is just a rumor at this point. The man didn't even meet the players.

Arda will show in trainings if he is better or not than Denis. Last season, he showed that. If this season he is going to show again he is the best option at LW after Neymar, he should play. Simple as that.

Arda has a contract with us, and he doesn't want to leave. End of. You don't end contracts just because you feel like it. What's the message to the future players we want to sign? 'We give you a 5 year contract, but if by some reason you don't play well, we'll make sure you leave on your own after two years'. Let's not forget Arda sat out for 6 months with no football, before signing for us. Football fans have short memories, but the club should be above that.

Bartra, Arda or whoever. It doesn't matter. Selling or buying players is mutual, and contracts make sure of that.

Denis has showed little so far. Like Gomes. Arda, as hated as he is, showed more than both taken together. You're right about Deulofeu, but I'd like to see him in action first.

Duelofeu is better on the right where he is a one trick pony who dribbles with head down and puts ball in box.

He doesnt have the brain to play on left annd cut in getting involved in build up play from what I have seen.

How is selling players who want to stay the same as forcing players who want to leave to stay?

They're literally exact opposites. It's not like Arda would be the first player to want to stay at Barca who ended up being forced out. Give me a break.

You're right.

Actually, forcing people out of a legitimate contract is morally worse than forcing players to respect their contract. So PSG have more right to force Verratti to keep his contract, then we have to force Arda to break his.

Good point about Arda sitting out for 6 months not playing while getting paid big, big bucks. That is his strategy and he'll do it for the remainder of his contract.

Its nothing to do with morals. Its illegal and Arda would easily win in the courts.

Football players like to play football. All of them.

I doubt Mathieu wanted to leave the club either.

In the end, he knew that he had extremely low chances of playing again for Barca. Arda is a better player than Mathieu anyway. Maybe he believes he can still play at Barcelona. Each player is different. Arda is also on higher wages IIRC than Mathieu was.

Anyone who has watched a Valverde team knows there is no room for an Area character. Same goes for Gomes.

When you see ie. Athletic Bilbao vs Barcelona game. And the way they pressed us. How on Earth can someone think A. Gomes or today's Arda could press that much.

So apparently this guys is still involved in doing promotional events with the clubs shirt sponsor :lol:

Not a sign that he is going to be leaving anytime soon.
