jdckelly Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I'm really confused as to why he wants to play for us so badly, I know people have said its the lure of the Premiership, but he's turned down way better teams to get here - reportedly. He doesn't have a large family that wish to claim benefits does he? Apart from the OTT wages, what is the lure of the Premiership? Some of the world's best players to play with and against, in some of the world's best stadia. The prestige of the league and the adulation players receive is second to none. Even if you don't rate the quality of the football, the lure is obvious. Bollocks. Most the world’s best footballers don’t play in the PL and players don’t make career moves based on the quality of the stadia at away games. They want to go to clubs that can win things, failing that they chase the wonga. As we have no chance of winning anything it must be the money that’s luring him to the EPL. We'd only be paying him the same as Marseille do. judging by bullards failed loan to celtic i dont think thats entirely true with all loans, bullard demanded more money on top of his salary to go to celtic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 He could be an intergral part to our team next year. We could do with one more of his calibre though We could do with getting him through the door first By the sounds of it he has agreed to join us, sure these things can go pearshaped but i doubt it. If i'm wrong i'll hold my hands up like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 http://www.mercato365.com/infos-clubs/marseille/article_441540_Marseille-Ben-Arfa-a-Newcastle-.shtml [barring a] last minute turnaround, Hatem Ben Arfa, the attacking midfielder (or attacker) from Olympique Marseille, will join Newcastle. Tracked by Hoffenheim, Benfica or Galatasaray, Hatem Ben Arfa (23 years), the attacking midfielder (or attacker) from Olympique Marseille, will finally join the Premier. As we announced previously, the French international will be a loan fee (of around 800,000 euros) with option to purchase. In Russia, the Rubin Kazan has also positioned with a concrete offer to just under eight million euros. But the former Lyon did not respond. The club's president Jean-Claude Dassier could formalize his departure on Saturday night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's playing the long game if you ask me. The Premier League is the most watched sports league on earth, if he comes to us and does well he can make a name for himself and command bigger money moves in the future. The alternatives for him are stay in France or go to Germany, Russia or Portugal. If he does join us and he does pull up trees he'll not be playing for us on 2011/12.
