    Xavi Hernández

    Yes, I was surprised to see him in the photo, after he said he wouldn't be able to vote.

    Luis Enrique

    What I don't understand is, if Lucho really did want and ask for Arda, why would he have a problem saying it now?

    Josep Maria Bartomeu

    It's not only about influencing the voters to vote in some way, it's firstly about using the clubs infrastructure to reach voters, because he has access to it, and Laporta doesn't.

    Arda Turan

    I actually like that idea. I always wondered what these guys' days look like.

    Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

    I don't see anything different about him.

    Luis Enrique

    So wait, I'm confused... I thought Enrique specifically asked for Arda? If not, then it turns out Bartomeu scheduled the temporary board to sign him as a political move?

    Pedro Rodriguez

    If it's based on games played last season, then it's not variable at this moment, it's 30. It might become 150 again next summer or whenever. So much contradicting info. :(

    Pedro Rodriguez

    Well if the current buyout is 30M, what's the difference between that and simply negotiating a 30M price regardless of the previous buyout? It is the same to a buyer whether they pay a 30M buyout or negotiate a 30M fee that's less than the buyout. And if the buyer is not willing to pay a 30M...

    Pedro Rodriguez

    Can someone explain why he signed a contract extension then? Was it with the exact purpose of lowering his buyout fee? Why would the club agree to this?

    Josep Maria Bartomeu

    I don't think anyone expects all kids from La Masia to end up at the first team or the B team, we're bound to sell many of them, and no harm will be done because of it, so in that sense he made a good point. But that sentence goes beyond what's correct or incorrect and creates an impression that...

    Arda Turan

    It's hard to tell at this point because we haven't seen him play for Barcelona, but I think that's underestimating him. Arda was great at Atletico and showed the kind of playing that can be perfect for Barcelona if he adapts well. I see him being another Rakitić for us. Not a high profile...

    11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

    Looks like he put on some weight since he first came here.

    Arda Turan

    You make it sound like it's irrelevant, but it really isn't.

    Iker Casillas

    What a shame that such a legend is leaving this way.

    Arda Turan

    Can someone explain to me the significance of grey clothes in this context? I'm obviously missing something.

    Arda Turan

    I don't disagree. Just didn't want to sound hostile. :lol: Besides, we don't know how (non)fluent exactly he is, so I wouldn't be too harsh. But still, you're right, 4 years is more than enough to learn the language enough for everyday communication.

    Xavi Hernández

    Cool video. How great is it that these two legendary midfielders left Europe at the same time, shared their last game here, and no less than a Champions League final, after winning their respective domestic leagues. So happy that both of them had such a grand send-off. It couldn't have played...

    Arda Turan

    I love it when players have no problem openly showing how happy and excited they are to be a part of a particular club. Nowadays so many transfers and presentations seem so fake, and some others seem like the player is purposely trying not to look too excited.

    Arda Turan

    Interesting how he doesn't use Spanish regularly in spite of living in Madrid for 4 years.

    Arda Turan

    "Luis Enrique called me after the deal was done and Iniesta sent me a message to welcome me, liked that a lot." Nice! :worthy: I love seeing things like this. Especially when you compare it to cases where players openly support club X, but then turn the story around completely when they sign...
