That's exactly it. We have reached a point now as a club where you just can't get attached to players any more as within about 6 months if they are good enough they are being whored out to other teams and unfortunately we are now seen as a selling club which makes us vulnerable.

He will turn to shit if he leaves here, just like Carroll

Haha that blackburn player still on the floor. "What happened? where am i? what year is this?" Btw if they don't show the full goal from start to finish and just cut to him mid flow im guna be hate ITV enough as it is

We should have plently of things we can try to persuade him with though if the situation every does arrive where it's his decision and his alone if he stays or goes.

Yep, the replays only come when it's a live game being shown somewhere so there are more camera's in the ground. We will likely only get one angle.

fair enough beatty. I was thinking more like man city and chelsea and liverpool (more because there are dumb). I have a theory on why we may not be commenting. What if the clause was something relating to final league placing. Say we have to finish in the top 10. It would put massive unnecessary pressure on us to do that if we came out and said thats what it was.

I felt that as well but the way he has performed this year and now this apparent clause of 10 mil. 10 million is nothing to these clubs really bar maybe tottenham. So if he can carry his form on for them like he has for us even if just for a year or two then they will.

As soon as you begin to love a player it seems there off. What happened to loyalty! we need to entice him with some strawberry sirop. It's the source of all his power.

Fuck off Liverpool.

Said something about it not working as a pairing aswell.

really liked Pardew's comments on NuTv about Abeid and vuckic. Seems to be developing them well behind the scenes.

s*** balls. So its becoming clear there is something or else they would just flat out say that there is no clause. Still can't see him going in January and i think we are in a good position to renegotiated should such a clause exist Would it be naive to say that Ba might want to stay too considering how well things are going atm, just lob him a few cases of syrup. Exactly. It's as good a time as any (when he is back in the country of course) to renegotiate. Although don't underestimate the evils of agents whispering in his ear.

Shit balls. So its becoming clear there is something or else they would just flat out say that there is no clause. Still can't see him going in January and i think we are in a good position to renegotiated should such a clause exist

Today's inspired me to ditch laughing Shola and go back to cool as fuck Hatem

I've just had a horrifying thought.............................................DJ Campbell

Close, but not quite. Damn Dave you could have let it go on a bit to see how many more would update their twitter account a second after reading. It's not funny man! we've been burned before in january losing our best striker

haha Just watched the interview on NUTV pards said that we have tried to get the best out of hatem and he doesn't work hard enough on the defensive side of his game. But then he went on to say that when he plays like that offensively then he doesn't need to worry about defending or words to that effect. Good to hear!

For those that were there. Was there anyone screaming "pass" to Ben Arfa during his run

Bit worried this game is going to be abit like the stoke game last season where people are expecting Ben Arfa to score every time he gets the ball now. Still would love him to have nailed the right wing slot now and no more off the striker stuff. If Pards had put him on the wing against swansea then there is no way he wouldn't have created something in that game, it was crying out for him. Still if it means he is now ahead of Obertan then i'll take that.

they don't count fa cup goals do they? when we bought him he was a winger. i assume the reason he's seen as a striker is a mixture of the Jonas, Raylor playing at left back and a lack of striking options. Still today shows that Obertan staring on the wing in front of him is a farce. Can't see for the life of me what is so bad about playing Jonas RW and playing Ben Arfa LW. then at least we'll have a left footed left winger and a right footed right winger, instead of a right footed left back, a right footed left winger and a left footed right winger. Sexy time. Missed this debate. Let it rip, boys. Imagine after all this today, and when we finally see this goal on the highlights tonight and sync-fwap ourselves into oblivion, he doesn't get a start next Sunday. "Hatem is still coming back injury and he needs to show me more. Obertan has done brilliantly for me this year"

Two 90 min run outs in a row. Good news in regard the knee that seemed like it could handle that in his first few games.

" Everyone's taken notice of him after that goal. We hear he has a problem with the manager, that's what we're all hearing. But yeah id take him ofcourse but he's not my player at the moment so i can't really talk about him."

She's not been dead a week, man. A little respect please.

We need to keep this goal secret if it's as good as has been said. If the frenchies see it then we'll have bids flying in from everywhere including money bags PSG

God i wish there was a Football First equivalent for the fa cup
