Arda Turan to Spurs?

[spurs_viola]

Let's hope he's not as lazy as Arshavin either.

Arshavin is not a lazy player. Or is any foreign player who does not break his neck and someone else's legs lazy in your definition?

Arda Turan is a big Liverpool fan to an extent that earlier this season he said that Liverpool is the only club he would sign for in Europe if he leaves Gala. Of course things change and he will probably end up at another club, but it may be that he could be off to L'pool when they come in for him if not this season then later.

Letting Gio go now, before giving him a chance in the new season would be a bad decision from the club. If Roy Keane and Javier Aguirre can get the best out of him, why can we not try a little harder with him too?

What the fuck is Arsenal action? But anyway according to Arsenal Action...Spurs have beaten Arsenal in the race to sign Turkish winger Arda Turan.

The player who has been linked with a summer move to Arsenal, will sign for Spurs after he returns from the USA with Turkey for £12m and on* a 5 year contract.

Spurs moved fast in the race for the winger, and have beaten off Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool in the race to sign the talented winger.

Wenger, who has admits his admiration fo Turan in the past and his agent “Ahmet Bulut” recently said that “Arsenal are interested, and if they want him, Arda’s first choice is Arsenal.”

But Galatasaray Chairman “Adnan Polat” confirmed that a secret contract with Spurs had already been agreed and the player will sign for spurs in less then 12 days time.

Its seems that Arsenal waited far too long to get a deal on the table before spurs came in with a solid offer.

This is not the first time spurs have beaten Arsenal in a transfer race, Spurs also signed Luka Modric from under the nose of Arsenal.* Wenger had said that Modric was too lightweight for the premiership.

Its would seem that Arsenal take an eternity to sign a player, We saw this with the Nasri and Arshavin deal that dragged on for weeks. Arsenal always seem to want to get the player on the cheap and always risk the chance of losing them. As the Arda deal proves. When googles this article came up

He most definitely is, have you seen him for Arsenal? My Arsenal supporting mates won't stop going on about how lazy he is. Great player, but is hardly Carlos Tevez or Dirk Kuyt in terms of commitment.

Last bit of copy paste from me - IN an interview with Arda....

Who is the hardest player you have played against?

Arda: Croatian right-back Vedran Ćorluka, who is playing for Tottenham right now, was the hardest player I've played against. It was in the quarter-final of EURO 2008, against Croatia.

But, hey, ho hold onto your hats fellas, because he also says.....

Are you considering moving to another club in the future and if so what teams would be first priority for you?

Arda: Of course I want to play abroad but it is our board's decision. As I always mention, Liverpool attracts me because of their tradition. In Europe, I am a Liverpool supporter, so if I go to play in Europe, I would like to play for them. Full interview ere'

Speculation overdrive: Kaboul to Galatasaray as part of the deal, Micah Richards to Tottenham to cover RB and CB.

However, can Kaboul play for three clubs in a year?

Id be really disappointed to see Kaboul leave, for whatever reason.

I think he has the makings of a great right back if he commits himself to that position from here on in.

That being said, id be delighted with this signing, but just hope that its not in a swap of any kind

It's three clubs a season rather than calendar year, so he'd be free to play for them.

Hopefully we keep him though.
