He certainly has some talent but watching him constantly try to take everyone on when he should just cross the ball would get annoying.
But he has free creative licence at Galatasaray. If he came to us, he would refine that style. Remember what whiskey-nose did with Ronaldo when he was too full of party tricks and not enough substance and effective end product, which helped him become so devestating.
I've been following the Turkish National team all my life, and I can say Arda is the most skilful and exciting Turkish player I've seen in that time. I would absolutely love to see him sign for us. We need his kind of trickery.
What I love about him is that he doesn't have hugely exaggerated body movement, and keeps the ball close to him at all times. Too many players out there try all these flashy moves and knock the ball out to far sometimes and then get robbed. Arda's style is harder to negate because his composed understated body movements are harder to predict. No 'elephant-touches' here.
His comments about us too are great, about how he loves the club culture and the passion of the fans are legendary.
Here's hoping.
