Arda Turan

Not the type we should look for imo, he is more a number 10 on the wing for Atletico, we don't need another one. If we sign a winger, than I would rather see a player with great pace, who is a big goal threat.
 
Either way he aint worth more than Hernandez plus Kagawa.

So, that's what I am saying. Turan 28m, Kagawa+Hernandez 35m. Potentially these two are worth 20m each at least in the crazy market but given last poor season, 35m will be good amount to get, especially when we are looking to reduce squad size.
 
If the knock on him is that he's not quick enough then it's silly. He was a proper out & out winger until the last couple of seasons when he has played as more of a wide central midfielder like Koke has.
I think we have more pressing needs & unless we change our formation I don't know where we could play him without leaving out Mata.
Having said that - he's a quality player & I certainly wouldn't be disappointed if we signed him.

You're underrating Hernandez a lot. There's nothing more expensive than a striker with a proven goalscoring record. An average striker that maybe gets you 15 goals at best is costing at least 15m in the PL.

No one was talking about the 26 year old Arda Turan a year ago. He shouldn't be worth close to 40m.

??? Where have I rated Turan at 40m?
I ma not underrating Hernandez but given he hasn't played a lot in last season and hasn't been in-form added to the fact that we are trying to sell him will mean we can get more than 18-20 for him. Similar for Kagawa.
 
He isn't a lot better than Shinji, so why not keep what we have? It's like Cavani all over again, a pointless signing

You're hypothetical scenario is Hernandez+ Kagawa = Turan+5-7m. That's close to 40 at your rate, 40 at everyone elses. Getting less than 20m for Kagawa or Hernandez in today's market is bad business. Especially to a club that seems a bit desperate to purchase with us not desperate to sell.

My post means we to get 5-7m in addition to the player. Read properly. So, if I am valuing Kagawa+Hernandez at 35m, that means Turan at 28m. If Atletico stick to his buyout clause of 32m we should combined value our duo at 38-40.
 
We surely need to focus on our spine first? we need a top defender and a top CM before we contemplate adding anymore attacking options. Dont see why we would go for Turan unless we are counting ourselfs out of the running for reus next year.
 
he's like seedorf back in the days. Unless you have a specific role for him in your team he can be a little pointless. If you have that role for him to play he's absolute magic. very few players(if any) can do what he can do with the ball in tight spaces. couple that with his workrate then you have a hell of a footballer. biggest mistake he could do is leave atl marid imo.
 
I'd love to see him at liverpool.
 
Can't really say I've seen too much of him and have just read about a potential swap deal involving Kagawa. Can anyone on here who's not a Kagawa fanboy give an insight for those of us who don't know much about Turan? Would this be a good deal for both parties?
 
Hes a brilliant player, works really hard and strikes me as a player that LvG would really like. He plays on the flanks with Atletico but Simeone's system is not a traditional 442. With United he'll probably play as WB and my guess would be the left side since we're apparently after Cuardado who would play on the right.

I wouldnt mind sending Chicharito the other way but not Kagawa it would be a poor deal to swap two players for one. This is all speculation of course so theres no use assuming.
 
We won't be signing him to play left wingback, we just spent 28m on Luke Shaw.
 
I don't think we're in for him, but if we were, it would clearly be to facilitate a move to 4-3-3 or similar. Same goes for Di Maria. We're not gonna start signing wingers and then shoe-horn them into a 3-5-2.

Can't quite figure out why Madrid would want to swap him for Kagawa though. It's just paper bollocks I guess.
 

Great player, always struck me one of the most if not THE most vital player for Atletico over the years, even during the Suarez years. Hard working and intelligent, would be gutted if he went to a rival. Suspect it could be Liverpool
 
Yeah, great player. If he's available then get him. One of my favourite players in La Liga, would be tailor made for PL's physicality too.
 
I think Jose would be interested. So I'd replace them with Arsenal.
 
Best in English would rule Liverpool out... can't help thinking the European thing is a reference to "5 times la".

United, Arsenal, City?

Chelsea I'd say. The last English team to win CL and current best in England.

Id definitely rule us and Arsenal out.

Edit : Just realized he mentioned three clubs. I would still rule us out.
 
Always been a big fan of Arda, But he didn't seem the same player this past season in comparison to previous years. That being said if he was available for the right price we should look, Although it seems it will probably be Chelsea he ends up going to if any.
 
Don't think we'd be in for him, though he's obviously a great player with great facial hair. And that's what counts.
 
I must be very unlucky, every time I've watched Atletico, he's been shite.
