Guest secteur2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Does anybody really give a crap if we sign controversial or temperamental players as long as they do the business on the pitch ? Ok you cannot guarantee that a player will be successful but surely it's worth taking a risk on someone who is only available because of attitude rather than ability ? A player, who given our current standing, we'd never be able to attract if they didn't have bad points ? Bellamy was controversial and Robert was temperamental yet those 2 changed us from a bottom half of the table side to a one in the top 4 almost over night. What I'd give for a couple of signings like them 2 now. Did anybody see anything wrong with team spirit when Robert scored the 3rd in the 3-1 win at Highbury, when Nobby scored the 4th in 4-3 win at Elland Road or when Dabizas scored the only goal at the SOL ? I hate it when people talk about the character or attitude of a player we're being linked with. As long as they're not a nonce, granny basher or murderer I couldn't care less as long as they're better than what we already have at the club. But you'll be one of the first to whinge when they're not doing it on the pitch, I bet. Still, carry on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this reason, Olympique Marseille, the French champion in office, decided to grant a one-year loan to the talented striker who is able to be wearing the Rossoneri, is the substitute Pato is to Ronaldinho.

OM has established one million euros the cost of the loan while the right of redemption was fixed in 7-8 million. What the article actually says in full, is that they may be parting ways with Ronaldinho (something that's been denied by Milans chiefs but still) and that Ben Afra is being considered the ready replacement for him. They say that Deschamps is willing to let him go on loan, no real mention of where just that he would be allowed to join Milan on loan for a fee of €1m and a permanent transfer fee of close to 7-8m if they were to make an offer.

Guest icemanblue Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Did anyone seriously let their heart get set like? Nah, not at all. I'm just not sure what I'm going to do with my 'Ben Arfa' shirt now, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidfieldGeneral Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 But you'll be one of the first to whinge when they're not doing it on the pitch, I bet. Still, carry on. The only time I would ever "whinge" about a player not doing it on the pitch is if it was someone who wasn't good enough and should never have been signed in the first place. If we took a gamble on a talent like Ben Arfa (or someone like say Anelka, when we were linked to him countless times in the past), players that are better than what we have/had, then imo it's a risk worth taking and I for one would not "whinge" if that risk didn't pay off. I'd be gutted yes, but I wouldn't "whinge" about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 We were never gonna get Ben Arfa, perhaps on loan but a long term deal just never seemed likely. Shame, because a player like that, someone who can produce a little bit of magic every now and then would have been ideal imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 It sounds like Marseilles and / or his agent are only trying to bump other clubs to firm up their interest, by feeding the press these stories about how we're about to jet in and sign him etc etc. It's a common enough trick. I doubt that he's the right player for us, at this time, anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
