A similar price to ryan babel, whom everyone seems to have decided is now the answer, based on very little.
[/quote]I haven't. He's fucking shit and if we have to rely on him for any period of time then we will be finishing 7th again.

I think old Roy may be able to coax out more of his potential than fat Rafa.
 
It's been a pretty decent summer for A.Madrid. Kept hold of both Forlan and Aguero, got rid of Pablo and signed some better defenders... and Turan could be a good addition.

He is the answer.

If the question is "Who is a lanky brainless string of piss who isn't good enough to play for Liverpool?"
 
Felipe and Turan both now at Athletico. Fucking hell, the two players I really wanted this summer along with a striker.
 
If we had that kind of money i would have liked to sign

Suarez
Vargas
and sell Babel.

That would address our LM and Striker problems. I fear Turan is too light weight to make it here.

I'll be a city slicker for the weekend. The 5 in a row is on.
 
We were not after Turan. We were chasing Carlton Cole and Bobby Zamora. Add Poulsen and Konchesky to that list and realize that in Roys world it is not about being spectacular nor exciting. it is about being ordinary.
 
The deal didn't go through apparently.

Turkish giants Galatasaray have turned down an 11th hour, €11 million bid from Primera Liga outfit Atletico Madrid for captain Arda Turan, according to Marca.

Following the departure of Jose Jurado to Bundesliga side Schalke, los Colchoneros looked to reinforce their midfield options, turning their attentions to the 23-year-old Turkey international winger as a replacement but their staggered payments bid was refused by Gala.

Atleti had proposed to pay the fee over three installments: €3 million in December, a further €3 million in July 2011 with the balance to be paid in July 2012 but the bid was dismissed by the Turks.

"Our captain will lead the team this season as planned," a statement from the Turkish outfit read.

Fuck me...this is so depressing.
Well at least he signed Cole and Meireles...
 
http://www.didimtoday.com/sport/football/1363-chelsea-or-liverpool-for-arda-turan.html

Many media reports from Turkey suggest that Chelsea and Liverpool eyes are keeping tabs on Galatasaray attacking midfielder-cum-winger Arda Turan. The 24-year-old burst onto the scene at Euro 2008, impressing many with his quick feet, tireless running and superb vision. It was expected that the Turkish star would soon be on his way from Galatasaray, but no move ever materialised with the Istanbul giants standing firm in their determination to keep hold of Turan.

Now however, Galatasaray are enduring such a poor campaign domestically that missing out on European football for next season appears a realistic possibility; a Champions League spot is already well beyond their reach.

Chelsea have taken note of this and the Turkish press speculate that Turan could be very keen to swap the shiny new Turk Telekom Arena for Stamford Bridge.

An intriguing sub-plot is Galatasaray’s interest in Chelsea striker Didier Drogba. Determined to regain their place at the top of the Super Lig table next season, the Istanbul side are watching Drogba’s position in London with great interest, believing the 32-year-old will soon be looking for an escape route.

Therefore, Galatasaray could ask for Drogba to be included in any deal for Turan. According to most experts, if Liverpool are to make a move for the player, then they are going to have to part with as much as sixteen to seventeen millions pounds. However the fact that Kenny Dalglish is willing to re-build the team one step at time, means that he would be more than open to another big investment, as the one they would have to make for Turan.

Nonetheless, Liverpool are going to have to act fact on their interest to land the player as a number of other teams in Europe are also being linked with the player. Those teams include the likes of Chelsea, Inter Milan and Lyon, to name a few.

However we all have been knowing that as Turkish Media reported, he might end up with Chelsea, Atletico Madrid or with Bayern Munich in Germany. We should all be able to get latest updates from his team soon regarding this move.

I honestly haven't seen enough of Turan to judge. Is he sexily brilliant or what. If so, why has no-one made them an offer they couldn't refuse?
 
[quote author=Sunny link=topic=41712.msg1288103#msg1288103 date=1298189945]
Hasnt he only got a year left on his contract ?
[/quote]

Yes, 2012. We can probably get him for a "good" price. Him and Young/Hazard would be fantastic.
 
Turan should be a fallback option if we cannot get a Hazard type winger. I've not heard much of Turan on the club or int'l level recently, which worries me. I just don't to get burned on a winger - we need a good one. It's about time ...
