And what exactly do you expect him to do? Put his foot where?

Iniesta played yesterday?

Rakitic and Busquets have been the only two reliable midfielders in 2016.. Either Roberto should've come on for Iniesta and swapped with Rakitic, or both Arda and Roberto should've come on for Iniesta and Rakitic respectively. No one can deny there was a need for offensive creativity, which I...

Well found a replay of the game.. Roberto should've been subbed on for Raki, and Arda for Iniesta. He did well in moving the ball forward in the limited amount of time he had it, and that would've been more effective in Iniesta's position. And with Roberto in Raki's position, that second goal...

Most of your arguments in this thread are pointless, as they are based on situations which have not been (for example that Roberto would have done any better, or that x and y would play better in his stead). I couldn't watch the game unfortunately, and Arda may have been one of the worse players...

Bad form continues, and a striker not scoring that at this level is unacceptable. Not that it matters too much at this point, as long as he is in form for CHL.

Lol didn't think about it that way. Perhaps I just don't see the actual benefits then other than the clubs being forced to make a decision ASAP.

I agree, not too bad in this case, was also more of a general statement. Bravo has also said a thing or two anyway.

Yes and if the complaining player is then chosen over his counterpart, it seems like the club bends to the player's will. But Bravo has also said a thing or two to the public, so I guess it doesn't matter in this case. Well even if he thought it was too early, he did end up sharing his...

They did indeed state that he doesn't drink alcohol a couple of years ago, but there is a video of him drunk on YouTube 8 months old.

I never get why players share their frustrations with the public, it reflects badly on the clubs and lowers the chance of them getting anything positive out of their situations.

Why do you think Roberto is better? I don't see it that way at all. And Rafinha had played twice as many games as Arda prior to his injury. Also, has Denis played with the team yet, since you compare them?

A lot of factors are in play when determining a players price tag, and most of them are only known to the parties involved. So instead of judging his performance based on his price tag, you really should just ask yourself if he is performing according to the standard of a Barcelona midfielder -...

Lol saying he's been playing like shit is also a load of crap.

Arda did pretty well compared to some of the others, and it was an undeserved yellow. I really don't get the hate he's recieving, he's been playing well in general. Getting into barca's system, as well as playing a more defensive role than he's used to, is bound to take more time than he has...
