Ever Banega being linked with us again.

Obviously just another stupid rumour but Banega is a great player, would love him here.

Arda Turan: Liverpool Re-enter Chase with Spurs for Dazzling £10M Turk

According to reports in the Turkish press and quotes from the player’s agent, Tottenham have opened talks to sign Galatasaray’s star man Arda Turan. The talented winger has been a long-term target for both Arsenal and Spurs in recent seasons but with Arsene Wenger’s interest waning, it would seem Harry Redknapp is at the head of the queue. However, Spurs are not the only top Premier League club thought to be tracking the star as Roy Hodgson has identified the Flying winger as a priority signing for Liverpool and the player himself has often spoke of his desire to move to Anfield.

Turan’s agent Ahmet Bulut declared, “At the moment I have had no contact, unofficial or official from Arsenal or Arsene Wenger. Regarding Tottenham Hotspur there was a small enquiry regarding the player, but I have had no official contact or an official bid for the player.

“So, at the moment Arda (Turan) has two years left on his contract at Gala. And, we are waiting for an official bid for Arda from Tottenham. We will see.”

The player himself has often spoken of his dream of joining Liverpool. Turan issued a come and get me plea to the Reds last season when he said, “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.

“My dream has always been to play for one of the top European clubs, but you shouldn’t make concrete plans in your life because sometimes these plans cannot be achieved. This is my dream, but for now I’m just working on my football.”

Despite his interest in moving to Anfield, White Hart Lane may be a more likely move this summer with Spurs ready to spend. However, Hodgson is a keen admirer and knows Liverpool need more flair on the flanks and may invest in the flying Turk once Javier Mascherano is sold to either Inter Milan or Barcelona. Harry Redknapp is looking to strengthen his squad with some top quality new arrivals as the club takes part in the Champions League for the first time. Spurs have plenty of quality on the flanks but with David Bentley likely to be sold when he returns to fitness, Arda could provide real competition for Aaron Lennon on the right as well as Gareth Bale and Luka Modric on the left. He is a very different type of player to those current Tottenham stars in so much that he is an out and out dribbler with the ability to beat full-backs at will. Liverpool also need someone with the ability to beat defenders as the likes of Dirk Kuyt and Maxi Rodriguez are not that type of player. Hodgson is eyeing the Turk to provide the inspiration that Damien Duff provided in a similar manner for his Fulham team last season.

Young Argentinian centre mid, plays for Valencia.

He can pick out some amaaazing passes, good at tackling and has good feet.

But I dont think you would like him, he's too lightweight

He's a bit of a strange player really, he plays in defensive mid but has similiar qualities to a winger. Still very good though

I've seen Benega play quite a bit a few seasons ago and he was sh!t. Hope he has largely improved since then.

by **Fauxy** » Thu Jul 15, 2010 8:23 am

Yeah he did used to be sh!te but he's improved a lot over the past two seasons. I wouldnt splash loads of cash out on him, it could be a risk to see if he settles in the prem. I would say no more than 10 mill

by **tubby** » Thu Jul 15, 2010 5:32 pm

Nothing to do with us but I read today that Sami Khedira is going to sign for R Madrid. His buyout clause was something like only 10Mil!!

by **damjan193** » Thu Jul 15, 2010 5:36 pm

But if we buy Ever he will have to replace Mascherano.Is he capable of that?I've seen him play a few times and he isnt bad, but like you guys said, 10 mil max for this guy... maybu thats even too much.As for Turan, I've been hoping that he'll come to play for us some day and I still am.He is a good player and I think that he'll do great here.Could replace Benny, not mentioning Babel.Babel out Turan in.Simple
