Well since this lad is a free agent and wants to come to the Premier League I'd guess that we heard about him via his agent touting him around. It would also explain why he was playing for Man City reserves about 3 weeks ago.

I reckon he'll be a one-season wonder and excel at home after a bit of a rocky start and a few niggling knocks as he gets used to the physical nature of the premier league.

Ben Arfa is definitely one hell of a handful, much like Bellamy in a way.. but if the right manager is there then he'll play his heart out for the team. End of the day, lets say that he plays 24 games, almost single handedly keeps us up but throws a strop and goes to Manchester United or wherever.. it'll be a kick in the balls, but the first and most important job will have been done.. to survive. Whatever happens after that is a little bit irrelevant until we get there.

Your conscience, Colocho.. it was your conscience. I don't get it. What's to get? I'm bored and you're asking questions that no-one knows the answer to. It's win-win.

Apparently not. No other journalist / twatter is carrying it. Seems to suggest that it's pretty much as good as done as well. Oh aye, missed that one.. no real mention of us though and he's been pretty much out of the door for a few weeks now, just the destination that's in question. Edit: Oh wait, it does.

Someone posted it on nufc blog (unreliable i know) but it's defo the same bloke. It supposed to be an algerian, cant get on the comments on nufc blog atm for some reason so not sure whats been said since. Yo yo Cooper, give us the news. Link us up boyo.

Just got two texts off different people within 5 seconds of eachother, first reading that Ben Arfa was on his way to Liverpool, next read that the HBA deal to Newcastle was done and dusted. Oh my, I feel like that iron jawed Brian Swanson with the latest scoops off SSN.

http://media.dvdtown.com/images/displayimage.php?id=5642 Oh God, not another new picture!

Coopers' silence is speaking volumes.

It looks more like him than HBA. And the right one isn't his f***ing manager because he's listening to an iPod! The very same iPod in yet another picture! It's all adding up now!!!

Oh come on it clearly is, even the hoody tassles are at the same length. The same length Johnson293! You just can't argue with those kind of cold hard facts!

I see you lurking there Cooper! COOOOOOOOPER!!!!!

But where oh where did this picture come from? I need to know! New thread damnit! The mystery must be solved!

Haha so where is this new pic from? Another twist in the tale!

Well as usual you're wrong. Bassong has potential and is showing that he will go on to fulfil this, whereas Bramble showed potential but now plays for Sunderland.

Well done, have a star.

wtf??? Good signing for them, Kanu is a very good young Nigerian striker with lots of potential. Whole career ahead of him. Yes indeed.

I always get the impression that you once read about humour in a book somewhere and try to emulate it where possible. You're like Death from the Discworld books.

I don't really care who it is to be honest, but it's clearly a photo from today and the bloke in the taxi photo and in the background behind Hughton are the same person. No debate about it. This is a pretty exciting deal and I'm confident it's in the bag but if it doesn't then I won't be anywhere near as bothered as I would have been before the 6-0 spanking of Villa.

iPod.. the very same iPod in the taxi photo

So do the shoes.. because it's him.
