Arda Turan

[Flavia]

Still hard the believe but then again Messi lived for over a decade At Barca and still doesn't know a lick of catalan

He understands it perfectly, according to Messi himself. He just doesn't like to speak it.

 

[FCBarca]

Who cares?

People who aspire to integration

This.
How does he plan to talk to the likes of Messi, Neymar, Dani, Iniesta,Busi (etc) who don't talk english ?
I think that he probably understands castillano but he doesn't talk it.

I have a hard time imagining Simeone having to use a translator to get his message across in trainings...Bizarre

Bulut (agent Arda): "Two months ago, I called Arda. I said: we need to talk, can't do it over the phone, we need to meet, I have a surprise"

Bulut (agent Arda): "First I asked him to swear he wouldn't even tell his mother and father. He agreed. I said: we're going to Barcelona."

Bulut (agent Arda): "At first, he couldn't believe it. Two weeks later I sent him a pic of the talks I was having with Barça." [hurriyet]

Bulut (agent Arda): "I went to Paris. Everyone thought it was for talks with PSG on Demba Ba. But I met with Barça and we closed the deal."

Bulut (agent Arda): "We went to Ibiza to convince the owner and the president of Atletico. Arda then had medical tests in Madrid" [hurriyet]

Bulut (agent Arda): "We were asked to keep things confidential. His father only heard about it when we were about to sign the deal."

This started 2 months ago?! Certainly doesn't fit the narrative of barto going for arda after failing to sign pogba unless pogba deal failed 2 months ago or bulut became barto puppet or this entire thing is a fake.

I remember this video. Hilarious.

What I like the most is that we would have 3 top level, proven , mature and experienced center midfielders, just like last season. Things would have looked different with Pogba IMO.

Really happy to have Turan instead of Pogba.

And let's face it, Turan is a lot more versatile than Pogba. Rakitic--Busquets--Turan could be a nice option against the likes of Atletico Madrid and Valencia.

The competition between the three midfielders can only be beneficial. And maybe a Turan--Busquets--Iniesta trio might give us glimpses of the legendary 2009 version of the Xavi-Busquets-Iniesta trio.

Lets not forget we still have Alex Song

Doesn't feel like he is our player right now at all

Arda seems like a nice guy and looks very very happy about this transfer, he is a true cule
