Plenty of our support have been expecting basically another Ben Arfa but who is 100% consistent and works his absolute bollocks off (for £12m, this is, rather than the £∞ that would actually cost). What we've actually got is exactly what anyone with a brain would have expected, your classic French winger/attacking midfielder - a bit soft, a bit lazy, a bit inconsistent - but this one's nowhere near as talented as Ben Arfa (very few are).
It'll be the ones who were smug as fuck that Ben Arfa had been bombed out and replaced that will get the huff on about him first. More Gouffran please.
