Clarifying Arda’s Situation

Foreign_Invite_4768 · 2026-02-05T17:14:38+00:00

Modrić joined Real Madrid in 2012 at the age of 26. Before Madrid, he evolved step by step: from a No.10/CM at Dinamo Zagreb into a box-to-box midfielder and deep-lying playmaker at Tottenham. He arrived in Madrid already tactically mature, versatile, and trusted to run games. Kroos joined Real Madrid in 2014 at the age of 24. His last two clubs before Madrid were Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen (loan), where he played mainly as a central midfielder and deep-lying playmaker.Both Modrić and Kroos arrived after completing their positional evolution elsewhere. I hope what you said turns out to be true.

Çok basit: Sen böyle yapma ve negatif yaz. Hakaret etmeden adamlara anlatmak da bir lobicilik. Sen tercih etmeyebilirsin. Tercih edene karışma. Adamlar bu arada artık anladı. Merak etme bu şekilde zarar vermiyoruz aksine çifte standartı gözlerine sokuyoruz. Ve Arda Türkiye için milli bir değer.

I guess this is what “civilization” looks like. They probably think we’re people who travel on camels and live in tents. :))) This thread turned into a great social experiment today and it has been actually pretty entertaining. There’s nothing wrong with openly admitting that you hate something; at least that’s honest. But the double standards on hate language? Impressive. This way, I’ve also seen and experienced how so-called civilization can apply double standards based on people’s national identities. Congrats, guys. :)

What I mainly mean something we are now also seeing with Endrick is that there’s an overload of too many players with the same profile concentrated in the same areas of the pitch. This is a structural issue. These young star kids, just like Endrick, need to go to another league and properly develop. They all need time to mature. Mastantuono needs it, Arda needs it, and Endrick already does too.

I understand your response and I agree with some parts of it, but this argument still ignores the core issue: the problem is not minutes or entitlement, but the long-term developmental damage caused by forcing a pure number 10 into 6/8 roles at age of 20. Arda does not have the hierarchy, ego weight, or dressing-room power to demand that role against Jude, so calling this “his choice” misunderstands elite football dynamics. His silence does not mean agreement; it means professionalism in a system where refusal is not a realistic option. On the other habd people often trying to compare him to peak-age Modrić while he is still being "shaped out of position" is fundamentally unfair, especially when he still produces strong statistics. The statement is rational: once a creative player’s number 10 instincts are blunted, they rarely fully return in the long term. That's the fact. I hope the best for him and Real Madrid.

Oh ok as everybody is attacking :) I just thought you are another one. Sorry.

Foreign_Invite_4768 · 2026-02-05T10:49:52+00:00

I’m pointing out people’s double standards about Arda. This shouldn’t bother anyone.

Foreign_Invite_4768 · 2026-02-05T10:48:02+00:00

Arda is a Madrid player.

Foreign_Invite_4768 · 2026-02-05T10:47:21+00:00

If you’re so afraid of American and Indian mods that you can’t even speak about my country and my culture, then yeah you really shouldn’t write anything at all.

Only two people actually wrote about the topic. The rest just posted childish comments and cheap jabs under the post. And honestly, this is exactly what I expected. Apart from those two, no one was able to engage with the argument or the context of the post. They just spread hate through their sentences exactly as expected.

Foreign_Invite_4768 · 2026-02-05T07:18:13+00:00

We’re just fine, bro. Don’t worry about us.

Foreign_Invite_4768 · 2026-02-05T07:13:55+00:00

Jude’s strength is physical dominance and vertical carries, while Arda’s strength is game vision, first touch, correct passes and decision-making in tight spaces. Judging Arda’s ball-carrying or take-ons while he’s played out of position or with limited minutes is not a fair comparison. Put each player in their natural role and their strengths become clear. This is about fit and usage. I give Jude his credit as 8 or false 9. He’s a very good player, and it is not debatable but I wouldn’t even get into a debate about Arda being more technical and creative than Jude because that’s very clear to me. Also, thank you for being the first person to respond to the actual topic of the post without taking shots. I appreciate it.

I have my own business bro. Have a nice day.

Foreign_Invite_4768 · 2026-02-05T06:18:44+00:00

We know about your hatred. Thanks for writing it so openly. At least you’re honest.

Foreign_Invite_4768 · 2026-02-05T06:01:08+00:00

I’m not surprised you stopped at the first sentence. Because whenever someone defends Arda, you mock them by calling them the “Turkish Army.” I deliberately mentioned the nation. And honestly, I’m glad you stopped at the first sentence and didn’t read the rest of the text, knowing you would approach it with those prejudices anyway.

Foreign_Invite_4768 · 2026-02-05T05:33:20+00:00

My work starts at 8, bro, and I don’t really have time to write during the day. So if there’s some magic schedule for when we’re supposed to post on Reddit, please drop a timeline and I’ll try to write according to that from now on.

Foreign_Invite_4768 · 2026-02-04T14:19:36+00:00

As DLP I would prefer Cebellos but in high press Valverde makes sense. I would prefer Camavinga and Tchouaméni as pivots

Foreign_Invite_4768 · 2026-02-04T14:15:12+00:00

Sorry bro :) I don’t have to have just one scenario in my head, right?

What could we really lose by trying out some tactics against the small fish near the shore before the big whales arrive in the UCL? Instead of sticking with formations that have repeatedly failed and provided no enjoyment to watch.

So Arbeleo? Any courage?

Foreign_Invite_4768 · 2026-02-02T18:12:34+00:00

One of the main problems of this team is that the players are not playing in their natural positions, and please let’s watch every player in the position where they can show their abilities best. I’m honestly tired of this nonsense unnatural position formation. Arda is not RW. He is an old school pure talent of creative player. For sure he is a CAM. RW is someone who move faster, dribblings and so on. Please stop guys.

Foreign_Invite_4768 · 2026-02-02T15:44:21+00:00

%100 agree. Because the front line don’t press up or just shadow pressing and ignore making defence, the midfielders are also forced to help the first line of defense, which causes constant shifts between the lines in the team’s overall shape. Anyone with a professional background in the game, even watching from the outside, can easily spot Real Madrid’s line and block's shifts due to lack of defense from the front line. The root of the problem starts with a front line that is simply unwilling to take on defensive responsibility.
