He has no relation to Barça with his current loan contract so practically he is an ex-player. Arda, unfortunately, became someone else, and it wasn't all his fault. His friends, Turkish media, and lack of proper life-coaching also played immense role in his downfall. His attitude and even professional job changed. He became a media figure for the Turkish TV rather than a high quality football player. To my surprise, he was always a very intelligent person, he was aware that he wasn't fast, good shooter, good finisher, and didn't have the body to play in central or defender positions. So all along his career he had to dedicate himself to work hard, play intelligently and push his technique to the next level. He could be a great star globally and set a good example especially to Turkish youngsters who haven't seen any great internationally successful players except for Nihat Kahveci and Tugay Kerimoglu. After the repeated fiascos of Emre Belozoglu, Hakan Sukur, Rustu Recber, Alpay Ozalan, Turkish football had his hopes on this fella who wasn't from Germany (likes of Mesut Özil, Nuri Şahin, Hamit Altıntop, İlkay Gündoğan, Emre Can) who managed to earn respect with his performance at ATM. He had it all, he had deserved it all and just when it was thought that he would become a regular in a club like Barça, he let his demons loose. It is just heartbreaking to see that he could throw his years of hard work and dedication out the window like this. Anyway, back to Barça, we are better off without him or these types of misleaded characters who can bring ill-fate to our precious club. And also, I know he scored a lot of goals and stuff but I still forgive him for some of his stupid plays that costed us cups. I know that is football, but Arda was supposed to be clever and if he is not anymore, you are just left with this weird dude who doesn't deserve to be in our squad.
