Johnpaul88:
He represents a very fantastic signing for us and a big plus for Bartomeu. See how the signing successfully doused Laporta's boast that he would sign us Pogba. No one will take him seriously again if he says that . Bartomeu is now seen as doing the bid of our coach, who's now unsurprisingly, every Barca fan's favourite. In time, he would have killed two birds with one stone. All his 'sins' with Rossell will already be forgiven.

Well said bruv...

For those saying Bartomeu does not have the upper hand,read this:

With this signing of Arda Turan , I don't think Pedro is going to have the little playing time he gets anymore o

Saw a crazy poll on goal.com asking whether ARG should drop Messi. That must go down as the most foolish post ever, because it should be the other way round.
http://www.goal.com/en/news/1675/goalcom-polls/2015/07/08/13411312/poll-should-under-fire-messi-be-dropped-from-the-argentina?ICID=HP_BN_8

What Those ungrateful people. Messi is the victim here not the culprit.

The poll should actually be "Should Messi dump Argentina and concentrate on club football"?

or " Should Martino drop Higuain and invite Vietto or use Messi as 9"? Jeez! Dem dey fall the guy hands jare.

I just wish they could drop him for once. Even Nigeria would beat them 9-0. Bunch of ungrateful people. Na Messi go pass ball to Higuian and still carry Higuain leg kick ball abi?

How? Pedro is a striker and Turan is an attacking midfielder if I'm not wrong.

You are not wrong. But then, Turan is versatile and can play anywhere from midfield to attack. Yet, his preferred position is midfield. AM.

God-Messi sacrifised his natural playing position and started to play as a attacking midfielder for Argentina which they lacked since J.R Riquelme retired. Final loss wasn't his mistake. It was wrong tactics. None of the Argentine players are good in aerial balls. Still they decided to play long balls. That's why god-Messi was unable to find the ball in the midfield. Still he created a golden oppurtunity in the dyind minutes of the normal time. But his teammates were unable to convert it. Why should he take the blame for that? Also in the shootout he was the only Argentine who found the back of the net. Football is a team game. Whoever be you, without the support of the team you can't do anything for the team. If it wasn't for god-Messi, argentina wouldn't have passed group stages of the world cup, they wouldn't have played two finals in one year. Still if you are replacing god-Messi, u need to replace him with a better player. Can any of these critics find a better player than him? If argentina wants to win any titles in the future, god-Messi is the only hope. ‪#‎YoBancoAMessi‬

You made a very good point here.
But one of the major problems with the Argentina team and what really differentiates Messi of Barca and Messi of Arg is this:
All the players in Barca see Messi as the best, they keep possession and always try to involve him in the play. Xavi, Iniesta and co would decide to turn and turn to allow Messi enough space so that they can pass him the ball to do damage. They all see him as the best. But reverse is the case with the NT. Every player(Di maria, Aguero, Lavezzi, Pastor) want to show they are the best, they hold on to the ball more than necessary and would only pass the ball to Messi when they are in danger. Each of them believe they are better and would always want to show it.
Untill they play together as a unit and acknowledge Messi as the best on the field(even if Messi plays from defence, he would still wreck havoc provided he's allowed to play his game), they may never win anything.

**In Church mode** You are welcome in the name of the Lord...**

Welcome bruv. We hope and are super-sure that your stay here would be worthwhile and like no other. This has been my home away from home. If I log on NL anyday, anytime, it's for this thread and no other. This thread takes over 90% of time spent on NL. You think it's a coincidence? Think again.

I love the Club. I love the fans. I love Culés here on NL. I don't visit other Club's threads, but then, I am very sure none can be as interesting as this with peeps who have great heads on their necks.

If I hear say you no enjoy this thread ehn... Them dey do you for village be that.

Welcome bruv.

Oshee!

Arda Turan: "I'm happy to come to the best Club in the world. I'll try to give the best I've got."

"Those who know me know that I've dreamt of playing for Barça since I was a kid," says Arda Turan

Arda Turan: "I received lots of offers, but when I heard from Barça I pushed all the others aside."

Arda: "Luis Enrique called me. It made me feel happy. I liked it that he got in touch to tell me he wanted me at his team."

Arda: "Luis Enrique called me after the deal was done and Iniesta sent me a message to welcome me, liked that a lot."


Welcome Turan! Incase Barthomeu doesn't win, and the new presido tries to send him back to Atletico Madrid, the thunder that will fire the new president is already acquiring more charges

Welcome Turan! Incase Barthomeu doesn't win, and the new presido tries to send him back to Atletico Madrid,the thunder that will fire the new president is already acquiring more charges

That would be a foolish thing to do..Enrique asked for him right?...why not let the coach have what he wants.

Benedito has already said that if he wins,Turan is going.


I hope he doesn't win though..#TeamLaporta
