theoritcally if i was Lucho, i would sign him.
not for the starting eleven, but as some sort of Plan-B Joker against teams that park the bus. Messi can easily get as much freekicks as he wants and if you have around 2-3 inside 25m then Calhanoglu is not gonna waste all of them, thats guaranteed.

Come on man. We can't sign someone just because he's great at FKs. Would be a waste of money and a place in the squad.

He is not a bad player overall aswell. Plays passes just as good as he shoots, doesnt have that vision though to make great use of it. But that might come with age.

No offence, but even Messi would have to accept that he is not that good when it comes to freekicks, direct as well as probably indirect ones.

Jaysus ye can't be serious about signing a player for free kicks!!!

Might as well get Balotelli for penalties while we are at it.

He's found his level at Leverkusen IMO.

for set pieces in general.
How many of them do you get per game? 8 freekicks, 6 corners, yeah that makes a hell of a difference when you got a guy that doesnt let coincedence decide where his crosses and shots land.
The Madrid teams have reached the CL final with tons of goals after set pieces. In my opinion that should be at least worthy of further consideration. I mean you can make use of that whenever you think it would be a cool idea and the price is basically "Montoya" according to the media.

Doesn't make sense really to sign someone only for free kicks. He's superb at corners as well but our team wouldn't really make use of that. Although he often likes to try direct corner kicks :D

Well I see one plus if we get him at least. It would stop other teams from daring to foul Messi, Nerman and Suarez anywhere near the box like they try to do now with Klashinkov on their minds
