Why Rafa could find signing Turan a little ‘Arda’ to resist

ardaThe relationship between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray is widely recognised as one of the fiercest rivalries in World football. A simply audacious attempt by Fenerbahce chairman, Aziz Yildirim, to lure Galatasaray golden boy, Arda Turan, fuelled months of debate among pundits and fans.

Having already signed Emre Belozoglu, previously seen as a product of the Galatasaray youth system, it may be that this was simply an attempt by Yildirim to rub salt in to an already open wound at the Ali Sami Yen. Galatasaray responded by giving Arda the captains arm band and, under the guidance of Frank Rijkaard, he has flourished once again in the Red and Yellow of ‘CimBom’.

As the rumours once again begin to circulate about Arda’s future, I ask the question, what is all the fuss about Arda Turan?

Arda is widely regarded as the hottest product of the Galatasaray youth system for the past decade. Technically excellent with both feet, strong in possession and the ability to play on either flank, or as a second striker, has helped his rapid progression at both club and international level.

Turan was one of the stars of Euro 2008. His last gasp-winner against Switzerland sent the hosts crashing out and was followed by a goal against Croatia to help Turkey into the knock-out stages.

Liverpool fans will undoubtedly have been scouring the internet for videos of their latest transfer target and few will have been disappointed in watching a player whose mazy runs and numerous assists have put him on Europe’s radar once again.

With reported interest from Manchester City, claims that he wishes to play for a club who play in red will have been music to Liverpool fans ears, and with Liverpool desperately in need of some added flair, he could be an ideal signing.

Should he continue to produce the quality that has provided 15 assists and 2 goals this season, it would be ‘Ard’ to see him resisting the calls of Europe for much longer.

    Arsa has said before he wants to play for Liverpool because he lifes the fans and culture and of course the Jerseys. Barca only sign Spainish youngsters and won’t want Arda with Pedro playing so well. I will welcome him at LFC with open arms, top class player with the flair we need and owners have said there will be big signings in the summer, just wait and see!!!
