Says they're demanding the minimum from us such is the will of the player to leave (and join us). Headline is 'Ben Arfa far from Newcastle'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point of course, the french press will rally round the club to protect french interests and start to push their PR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I have to say, I think I love Ben Arfa just for how hell-bent he is on wanting to join us. Of course come next season when he pulls the same stunt against us I won't, but for now I think he's lovely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 The most frustrating transfer saga we've had in a while. No kidding, it's been going on for about a month now (checked the Transfer rumours thread, 21st July we were talking about him) with so many twists and turns it's been unbelievable. If we sign him, brilliant, but if we don't we'll have fucked up badly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Ben Arfa put his coaches in the shit", told DD. If the coach admits that the player has talent, he criticized his behavior. "Hatem is atypical. He has a good background, but he put his coaches in the shit. He's so talented he can make the difference at any time. When he enters, he gives the impression of being a great joker. When it starts, it depends. I spoke to him late in the season. I can not give guarantees. I am not a bank." :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zinaldo1982 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 So he said that they have asked for less money because he said the have asked for the minimum of the transfer fee so slightly less than they would have wanted before as he said he doesn't want to be the one who ends ben arfa career. Come ashley do this for the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colocho Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I cant believe he still want to come here when he see how little we are willing to pay to get him. He knows the Premiership is the place to be. If he performs well this season, he probably thinks he''ll be at a top 6 club earning 60k this time next year.
