He has 7 or 8 French, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Argentina, Dutch internationals around him, what more does he need?
He looked so unfit at back end of season and overweight, just generally had enough. Think he produces mint youtube clips but having watched every game he has played for us I don't see enough on a regular basis
He needs them to stop admiring his play and actually move about, give him options. I swear most of the time Pardew's plan is "Give it to Hatem, wait for goal".
Dear me, the bloke is absolutely faultless in your eyes. You seem to blame everyone and everything if Ben Arfa has a poor game. Your coming down with a nasty case of Pardewitis with the amount of gobshite excuses you make.
Our best player deserves a bit more slack when he's saved our skin several times this season. Anyone with eyes can see that his teammates don't help him.
