to be honest i'm ecstatic just as it is. we can afford to let smith go though, as we're stocked well in midfield. maybe let vuckic and ranger go on loan, especially if a striker does arrive. and obviously saylor would need to be replaced if needs be. great work

Last game of the pre-Ben Arfa era. Excited for the future!

FT. Thats alright, that is. Dirty, brutal animals tbh.

ranger score there? server madness.

soccer saturday. while jeff is away sorting his mic out, the 4 pundits are holding the ship haha!

blackpool and wigan. can't believe it!

just a comment on how blackpool aren't just bad, they're extra bad (at least on paper).

yeah, teams like west brom!! but blackpool....

blackpool are ridiculous, man. look at their squad!!!!! this doesn't add up

carroll for england!

Carew missing his penalty spurred us on to victory, maybe this can do the same.

was aiming to watch each league match of our season (somehow), but that dream is already over haha.

Jody Craddock haha.

I think I might slap a horse to celebrate

Another trophy gone, boo hoo.......BEN ARFA!!!!!

YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! Words don't work, im afraid. All thats left to say is I love each and every one of you :celb:

Ben Arfa, Ben Arfa... (the 'Who are ya?' chant) the simple ones are the best

Marcotti is tweeting furiously about Ibrahimovic. Believes its almost a done deal. Milan loaning him for a year and must buy him for 40m next summer or pay a penalty (i think). He thinks the only stumbling block is his 'golden farewell' from Barca. Madness from Barca, i think.

whatever page number he finally signs on, his shirt number will be the square root of that. hughton confirmed this earlier.

Google Images agrees with you

Maybe its that 'A Trialist' bloke from Soccer Saturday. He's been around for decades!

Thats what I love about this club, sneaking in to buy players before anyone else finds out. We did it with Routledge, Hall etc. Must've spend 2 days on this deal, at the most.

Never heard of Ben Arfa like..... Anyway, what can the thread title be when its completed? Simply "Official: Hatem Ben Arfa joins on a one-year loan deal" won't cut it for such a monumental thread.

Well played, boss.
