Barcelona midfielder Arda Turan recently took a dig at Arsenal by claiming that the North London were his backup plan if his move to Barcelona wouldn’t have panned out.
He told Spanish paper Diari Ara: “I felt that I would sign for Barca. In all honesty, I used to think, ‘If I play very well I will end up signing for Barca, because my style fits into this team. If I play well, I will end up at Arsenal’.”
As expected, the comments didn’t go down well with Arsenal fans:
Arda Turan is a fucking snake, hope he rots away on the Barca bench and loses every bit of his footballing abilities like Fabregas did.
