The best thing that can happen now with transfers is that we manage to ship him off to Turkey before their transfer window closes.

We'll probably fail at that too though haha.

Whether we sell him or not it seems Valverde has no interest in even considering him as part of the team, so we probably don't have to worry about him ruining games for us anymore the way we did when Lucho was manager.

It is very rare that a registered player at his age who is still somewhat a well known footballer to not get any minutes. EV will have to give him minutes here and there most probably.
That is why I wanted him out tbh, he will get some garbage minutes, I would have prefered those minutes for Alena,Gomes staying doesn't make it better

Agreed. His very presence puts the coach in an uneasy situation.
Nevertheless I do hope he will NOT get unnecessary minutes...

I like to think Valverde remains firm in this. Giving Arda minutes in an important or close game will screw us. Giving him garbage minutes blocks the development of younger, better (Not better in class, better in effort) players. Valverde hasn't given Arda a single minute of playing time since he played half heartedly in that friendly during pre season and I have hope that he gives Arda the treatment Lucho gave to players like Vidal and Douglas, as he's made it clear he has no room for Arda in his plans and is under heavy pressure not only to win trophies, but to prove he does have an eye pointed towards developing our youth.

Why don't they make an official statement saying that he is not needed at the club and he is free to join another club?
He says he is HAPPY and wants to stay! Let's fine him his wages to make him happier.

How could you give him a fine for not being a good fit? He trains etc. It's not that he's not showing up at the club.

It will be Arda's birthday in January - he will be 31 years old. Any ideas for any gifts?
