Arda Turan

[DrPepper]

Turkey during Euro 2008 was epic. First they were behind Czech Republic 0-2 with only 15 minutes left to play, but they managed to turn it around and qualified to the knockoutstage.

Then they played Croatia and neither team scored until the 118th minute when Croatia scored and everybody was sure it was over. With one minute added injury time Turkey managed to score on exactly the 121 minute mark and won over penalties. I think they pulled off a third miracle match against Switzerland I think.

Take note of the commentary when Croatia scored. "The kings of the late-late winner have been beaten by a late-late winner."
And then ironically they manage to pull of the biggest latest win again lol.

One of the most epic turnabouts.

Edit: I looked it up. They beat Switzerland by scoring in the 92th minute making it 1-2 the during group stage.
All matches they had to win otherwise they wouldn't have had enough points to move to knock-out.

Those were magic times.

And then Germany did the ultimate trolljob on them by winning on stoppage time as well.

Not really. Since the expectation was already that Germany would win. If not during stoppage then during extended.
And actually Germany scored within regular time.

Looks like the Club will appeal to the CAS To Register Arda.

About time.

Did they think we'd just forget about the matter if they kept ignoring us? What the hell.

They know they have no legal ground to forbid us from registering Arda, so the best they can do is stall the whole thing...

FIFA style.

Typical Fifa. Just playing silly buggers

really I'm tired of this corrupted organization. fuk them all, Barcelona should have fought back smarter last year when we get the ban. Hope we get to register Turan before clasico.

Barça didn't do anything. The way they handled the entire situation was so stupid. Got several warnings and played the "you wouldn't dare" card until they got banned

They might be busy, with all their top brass under investigation or banned

Just for future reference, I think this will turn out to be another terrible decision.

I'd be happy to be wrong though.

Barca would be so much stronger now with Arda at forward instead of Sandro or Munir. Even if he does not beat out Iniesta or Rak this year to be part of the first 11, he is going to get lots and lots of playing time. In the second half of the season, I could see him and Sergi Roberto being the primary backups at 7 of the 10 outfield positions.

Let's keep our fingers crossed. Least the club has finally done something
