Nuri Sahin plays for Turkish national team and he's german? That's good to know. What's next? Del Piero is Brazilian?

Mesut Ozil is Turkish too.
Both were born in Germany and have lived there for most of their lives. Sahin is like Rossi, playing for the wrong NT.

I don't want to derail this thread with this debate though.

German Turks are so Ghettoised and non-assimilated that you'd lose the debate quite easily anyway :pint:

They are literally a different nation within Germany.

Adoration. Surprised you said 20m though, thought you'd value that higher.
I would but Turkey isn't good with player marketing. I would never sell him. There's no way we can find someone else who plays as good as him in Turkey. To me, his value is around 30 millions. I see how much Modric or Pastore are for example. He's much better than Modric and Pastore. But clubs in Europe wouldn't pay that much to any player in Turkey. Let's say if he was playing for Fiorentina all his career, his value would be around 40 millions by now.

But we have to be realistic, we can sell him around for 20-25 millions.

*insert Marotta smile pic*

:p
You get them, boy.

What do you guys like to know about him?

He's coming from youth team from Galatasaray, so he's been with us since he's 8 years old. He plays for AML or AMC positions. He's the most talented and expensive Turkish player in the world right now including Nuri Sahin, Hamit or Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid. A lot of people compare Arda with Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid even though they slightly play in different positions but Arda has more talent than Mesut Ozil anytime. Mesut just plays simple all the time.

There's no defender in the world he can not dribble in the world. His technique and ball control is unbelievable. He has been captain for Galatasaray since he was 21 years old. Atletico Madrid and Chelsea were interested in him last season but just because we got Fatih Terim back as a coach, he won't be going anywhere this season for sure.

If we sell him anything less than 20 millions, we are pure retarded. If it was up to me, I wouldn't sell him a dime less than 30 millions, so he would stay with us all his career like Del Piero.

If he was Italian, British or Brazilian, his value would be more like 40 millions by now.
Thanks.

Do you perhaps know if Arda is from the European or the Asian part of Istanbul?
I'm sponsoring a BalkanJuve so it would be cool if he's from the European/Balkan part. :D

Just because you were born in Germany, that doesn't make you from that nationality.

Mesut Ozil refuses to sing German anthem, he even curses in Turkish when he misses goals in Real Madrid :)

His father and his mother don't even speak German much. How is he German? I dont understand it. He admits he has Turkish blood and refuse to sing any other national anthem. He plays for Germany for his career. Same as Nuri Sahin, but on top of that, he plays for Turkey.
