   what is this?

   Just because wenger says the guy is good doens’t mean he was a transfer target.
   Next you’re gonna say that spurs beat arsenal in the race for joe cole

   We were never interested in him? Agents are hardly to be trusted.

   Laughable.

   Wenger often says he likes players when asked – in fact I don’t think he’s ever been asked about a player and slagged them off.

   As for Modric – how on earth was Wenger ‘beaten’ to him by the spuds when he said he was too lightweight for the league (which most people would take as a lack of interest).

   Arshavin – we got him when other clubs couldn’t get far enough with his club and it was a great piece of negotiating frankly.

   Nasri – you’re confusing the date it was announced and the date Nasri signed. It wasn’t dragged out at all but his club held onto his international registration for the full four weeks they can before FIFA/UEFA get involved. if you want to know why look at who was at that club and who Wenger and co outed in teh French scandal.

   Really – it’s obvious you just want to knock Arsenal but you must try harder because this piece is would be laughable if it wasn’t so pathetic.

   lol..if we signed him you would have written a blog saying arsen has signed another little tricky player to the collection of many we have..i am happy it did not happen..we have more needs in other areas to utilise the money better..guess you are joining the red top tabloids and create a story out of nothing

    He’s just another Modric. He has excellent technical ability but no pace whatsoever. Arsenal badly need a bit more pace in the side like we used to, Song, Cesc and co are pretty slow and it stops the counter attacking play we used to have. I’d pick Eden Hazard over Turan every time, not that we’ll get him either!!
12. Clockers89 says:

    Arda Turan is a very good player, but don’t think he’s at the level of Eden Hazard, di Maria or Mesut Ozil.

    Moreover, Turan is right-footed and although they all prefer to play centrally Arshavin, Nasri and Rosicky also all are right-footed.

    Agree with the author and most of the posters that Spurs didn’t “beat” the likes of Arsenal or City to Arda Turan. It’s not at all clear that Wenger is looking for a wide forward / winger (even though we could use one).

    Think City have set their sites much higher on the likes of Ribery or David Silva if they’ll be swayed by enough money, but more realistically Hazard, Ozil or di Maria.

    Liverpool are in disarray. Have to buy before they can sell and have Benayoun, Kuyt, Babel and Maxi Rodriguez all as right footed wide players.

    Spurs win an imaginary transfer race!

    can i just say as big as a arsenal fan i am, i am also turkish myself and i happen 2 support besiktas and ive checked all turkish sports news and websites about this transfer and none of them have said anything about arda agreeing to join tottenham, all they have said is arda will leave if a good offer from a good club comes in so arsenal can still get arda, i know arda very well he is a very good player, his style of play will suit us better than sp*rs, and arda is a admirer of wenger and arsenal. if he is 2 leave arsenal looks like d place he will b.

    No doubt Spurs was plan B for the agent and he wanted get his dig at Arsenal for not signing him (because AW has bigger players to chase). We need Subotic as CH not a winger…

17. Bigcheese says:
    May 15, 2010 at 5:53 pm

    Wenger has already mentioned that he will sign one attacking player and then add to the defensive part of the squad. We know that the attacking player is Chamakh. So it would be completely contradictory to his comments if he were, indeed, after Turan.

    So please stop this uninformed AW bashing… it just makes you look like a tool.

    and Hazard is a youth so he’s a good fit..
20. Thevamster says:
    May 15, 2010 at 7:05 pm

    This is a DISGRACE. It’s just another in a long line of transfer targets that Spurs have beaten us to that started way back with Ossie Ardiles.

    Gomes, Berbatov, Corluka, Bentley, Crouch, Defoe, Huddlestone. I could go on.

    It’s time to get a management team that knows how to buy a player. Rafa Benitez is surely available now that we have a transfer budget of sorts. Or Harry Redknapp. He has shown no loyalty to any club ever in the past. We could get him easily. There are no one better then these 2 at spending millions. Get them in now or I’m going to start a protest movement at the Emirates Cup.

    thats saying the exact samething this website is saying, but its not true, its rumours, if this was true it would b news headlines all over turkish tv, if this is true it would on the galatasaray and tottenham web site which it is not, its just rumour.
22. paulie says:
    May 15, 2010 at 7:39 pm

    Wenger could’ve signed him and didn’t because the bottom line is he just isn’t worth that kind of cash, A poor man’s Craig Bellamy!
23. wembleyspurs says:
    May 15, 2010 at 8:02 pm

    It’s ok gooners, you can have him. We already have Bale, Lennon, Bentley, Rose etc and we look pretty sure to get Joe Cole. Although really you should be concentrating on a more central midfielder as Fabregas has put out his come and get me plea to Barcelona!
24. ali gul says:
    May 15, 2010 at 8:12 pm

    this is a good news for spurs he is a very good winger and some body said his right footed this man can use bouth feet like wizard
25. Steve says:
    May 15, 2010 at 9:42 pm

    As a spurs fan picking this article up on newsnow, this story is news to me. This player has been talked up by his agents for years. Every premier league side has been linked with him.

    Spurs fans would not really welcome this signing as we have Bale and Lennon. Can’t see us spending 12m on this guy.

    Oh and we have beaten you to plenty of players in the recent past. Robinson, Defoe, Zakora and Carrick to name but a few. All confirmed by either Wenger himself or the player. Doesn’t mean anything. No one team can sign everyone. Childish debate.

    Nasri was signed staright away, just coz the deal could not b e published for weeks due to contractual shit dont mean it was dragged out.

    I am still gutted we dragged our feet in signing Tuncay..

    I’m actually rather interested to see who the scum buy. Turan could work, even though this story is of course pure bullshit. They should go and get some affordable seasoned CL campaigners, Saviola for example would be inspired in my opinion. Guys who aren’t scared of that level, and can keep the ball. Can’t wait to see the old bottom of the table scrapper Redknapp so completely out of his depth. All questions in English then, I presume.

    Alot of players are bought ‘under the nose’ of Arsenal, but that’s because we have the most advanced and comprehensive scouting network in world football, and we watch everyone. Making one of our scouts your chief scout is one way to try and catch up. Alternatively you’ve got old fish eye’s notorious African contacts.

    This all reminds me of my favourite ever Tottenham fact. Gerry Francis, as Spurs manager, was given the chance to make the double signing of Christophe Dugarry and Zinedine Zidane from Bordeaux. He laughed at his scouts, calling the latter too ‘wooden’ to ever make it. Still makes me laugh. It could all have been so different.

    If Arsene doesn’t invest this coming season then the gunners will be fighting for cl qualifying status.If he continues with getting cast offs like Silvestre that’s it. Btw this guy is over 30 albeit less pay.
    Now in the Times mourino says arsene after winning the title in 2004, the Fm wanted to win in a different manner ie.maybe with kids/pretty soccer.The So said it is not possible. Well the FM has the last five seasons to do it and failed.
    Now what is the next stage?Don’t be surprised some unknown is brought to the ES.

    May 16, 2010 at 5:15 am

    Silvestre, Almunia and the Polish keeper dude are 3 of the best players on the planet. We are so so so lucky to have them, let us give and thanks and praise for such gifts of wonder.

    all together now..Kum by yaa m’a lord Kum by yaa………

    Q,
    What is the difference between Almunia & the Polish dude and a big sack of stinking hot plop?

    A,
    Nothing. All 3 are a big sack of stinking hot plop of similar quality.

    How to secure a move to Tottenham

    1) Announce that Arsenal are interested in buying you
    2) Wait for Harry to call
    3) Offer Harry a few quid back if he buys you
    4) Sign the contract
38. Thevamster says:

    Is this the same lady Arsenal who made up the stuff about Harry Redknapp the other day and got caught? Idiot.

    Same again mate. No proof behind your bitter twisted comments. It’s amazing how you make stuff up that makes you laugh. What you also talk to yourself as well?
40. Steve says:
    May 16, 2010 at 10:14 am

    Here’s an actual fact that always makes me laugh. Wenger has the chance to sign Wilson Palacios for 500k yet turns it down.

    You can have the best scouts in the world but it means nothing when your manager is such an idiot.
41. Mike says:
    May 16, 2010 at 10:14 am

    Your total lack of knowledge on this subject is obvious from the list of players given. None are world class, some aren’t even premiership class and as for Bentley…..well some of us are old enough to remember that he did play or us but WE sold him because he wasn’t nearly as good as he thought he was.

    Rather than protest at the Emirates Cup, why not just go and support Chelsea, it sounds like you deserve each other.

    Once again I find myself thanking somone for saving me the trouble of telling a dullard what a dullard he is. Honestly, what a ridiculous, pointless and baseless blog entry. Criticizing Wenger is one thing making up crap to shit stir is poor form. Arsenal Action must do better!!!
44. Mike says:
    May 16, 2010 at 10:18 am

    No evidence this is the case. If it is then why do you choose to gloat over a ‘failure’. So quick with the negatives and never a supporter, Arsewipe Action should hang their heads in shame.
