Cesc is notorious for being a failed transfer despite being given all the time in the world and more to adapt. Terrible comparison.

LB is probably the only position he's used where he just can't be effective. He's done well everywhere else he's played. We desperately need a real LB who can fill in when Alba is out.

That's pretty pathetic. He can't even handle going to practice...?

Denis won't be saving anything. He'll just be a good rotational option, of which Arda is not. And I know you're just an Arda fanboy but really, at least try to google why we loaned him out if you're going to speak about it. He was a B team player with a promotion clause who was nowhere near...

Once again ignoring the extensive list of Arda's shortcomings in favor of pointing the blame everywhere else. Anyone saying we need Arda for depth must be forgetting that we're bringing Denis back this summer.

How does he get injured when he doesn't even play at all?

We bought an injury prone player with those wages while he was still injured. The logic behind it still baffles me to this day.

It's fairly typical of these Arda fanboys to try and point the blame at every single player that isn't Arda when everyone is coming down on him. Arda is lazy, has no passing range, tends to go invisible for large stretches of the game, does not link up at all with our forwards, provides nothing...

He is just coming back from a very long term injury, so I'm not sweating his performance. I wouldn't expect much from him until next season, tbh. Although I have to wonder, why would Lucho start him and Arda in midfield? It's like he just wanted to lose.

No, he was our best backup. If we really need depth we've got Bartra available who hasn't had any major opportunities to screw up in a while.

He's actually getting worse lol

Seems rusty. He's even messing up his signature stepovers.

Yeah, I was laughing at the wording of it. Because of football reasons. It's almost as if barcastuff couldn't fit the real reason into a tweet so just posted that instead :lol:

He's starting today. Odd. I was under the impression it was impossible for him to get any minutes at all if Lennon was playing.

He had like one good game and then he's progressively gotten worse. I think the last time he started he was so bad Lucho actually subbed him off at halftime.

Because of football reasons? Lmao

An offer can hardly be considered large if it doesn't exceed the price we paid for the player, especially coming from China, so the 30m price you've stated would only naturally be met. And the club doesn't have any reason to be attached to Arda to try and make him stay/refuse to sell. At least...

It's every player's "Dream" to play for their current big name club, lol.

We are not Atletico Madrid. We're not going to adapt our system to one 29/30 year old player so he can perform better for us when we have no less than four midfielders (Five, when Denis returns) who can fill his role without needing to do that, who all happen to be younger than him with the...

I'd like to think that no matter what side you're on you have to laugh at these two posts.
