Ben Arfa

[max cady]

Not sure if it is posted anywhere but Newcastle are offloading him. would he be worth a punt.

 

[yido_number1]

Have we actually been linked? If not should there even be a thread?

 

[MyNameIsNicolaBerti]

Do we really need another midfielder?

 

[Led's Zeppelin]

No thank you.

 

[Blockbuster]

at the expense of who?

 

[Geyzer Soze]

I think this should be in the General Football forum, if anywhere.

A winger is needed, but not another leftie who prefers operating from the right. And especially not another injury-prone one.

 

[LiamJM10]

He's awful.

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

He's awful.

No mate, he isn't. He's a bloody good player but is injured far too much.

No, he's awful.

Awful amounts of ability and talent, yes, but horribly inconsistent, wasteful and just not worth it.

We've already got Townsend and Lennon who are better.

He's got a lot of skill, but is extremely unprofessional - did you see how much weight he put on towards the end of last season? He was the size of a house!

On the subject of Lennon will he be a spurs player come September?? I'm not so sure and tbh I think Lennon has has his time at spurs, if a club bid 7-8m I think we would consider it

Hatem Ben Arfa is heading for the Newcastle exit door after being fined for being too fat on his return to pre season training, according to reports in France.

The French playmaker has allegedly been hit by a £1,600 fine after Alan Pardew lost his temper with the controversial star when he arrived back from holiday 1.5kg over Newcastle's weight limit, say French paper Le Parisien.

Ben Arfa has looked to be carrying extra weight recently and has been banished from the first team squad but he claims any gain is due to increased muscle mass.

yeah muscle.....
