KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Arda Turan, reports from Turkish press

Before I post this, and for those of us who don't speak or read fluent Turkish, here is the link to igoogle where you can translate the links I am posting below. You can only enter scentences of up to 300 characters, but having spent the last 3/4 hour translating line for line, this is what is happening with Arda.

My translation source on igoogle:

1. Bayern Munchen want him and his agent has agreed terms with them.

2. His prefared destination is of course, Liverpool which he has said on numerous occasions and Roy Hodgson is definately interested in signing him.

3. I get the impression that Bayern have made a succesfull bid for him, but he is holding out for a Liverpool bid which Galatasaray will accept.

4. He decision is expected today.

I don't know if we have been bidding for him, but I just know what is mentioned about Roy and us fightingit out for him.

I friggin hope we win. Would love this lad to come to us.

YNWA!

Wolf

me too and we need him more than bayern do.

if he holds out long enough i think we will have the funds just wether roy actually wants him tho, if a player like him picks us over bayern munich u have to sign him i dont think we will get another chance to bring him here in the future.

how much do you reckon his transfer fee is?

Have no idea mate. He is Galatasaray's captain, so he won't come cheep. Reckon in the region of 12-16 million. Might be a 10 mil down payment with 1 installment of 2 million over 6 months for example.

Or it might be down payment 6 million, with 3, 3 million payments after 3, 6 and 9 months. But I am guessing here.

I agree considering they have Robben and Ribery.

Will watch this space..... :-)

i've been saying for a long time we should sign arda. great player, exactly what we need. i hope he'll end up at anfield but i'm afraid we're about to miss out on yet another brilliant player...

I share the same sense of dread Swede!!

Hope not though.

Dam Dunc is quick at nicking me information about Turan. He is already posting it as Bayern Munchen close in on Turan. Hey Dunc, you nicking my ideas ?... I knew you would!!

If we do want him and Bayern have a bid accepted we need to pull our fingers out and get in there. He won't wait for long and Bayern definately won't wait too long for him.

hope we sign him..it will get clear though by weekend i suppose???

I think we need a signing like him. It shows that we're not just in for the Scharners and now Beaties of this world. Its not a big statement of intent but one none the less.

the problem is quality players are pretty much snaped up at the beginging of transfer windows the problem for liverpool for years is the left doesnt no what the right is doing so we always miss out.
