BottledDog Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 When he does make it back, I can see myself bricking it everytime someone goes in on him from now on. It's not a feeling I'm looking forward to tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mimifrench Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 A (famous) french football journalist who knows well Ben arfa (pratically his "friend") said on his blog that hatem is unlikely to play again this season (he says precisely that it is sure he won't play again this season) and also said that hatem will probably say that on sunday evening because he is invited to the canal football club which is a french football tv show.

If not then he'll have a good pre-season and be ready then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end of the tunnel for Hatem Ben Arfa: recovered from his serious injury, the French will resume training with Newcastle after the weekend. Hatem Ben Arfa will still wait to replay the match. Maybe May 7 against Birmingham. (EQ) Nearly six months after the horrific tackle by Nigel de Jong, which earned him a double fracture tibia-fibula, Hatem Ben Arfa should resume training on Monday with Newcastle. No date yet been set for a comeback, but with the prospect of playing "one, two or three pieces of matches by the end of May," according to Alan Pardew, coach of the Magpies. The player would aim May 7 and the match against Birmingham again trample the lawn of St. James Park. The International tricolor (24 years, 8 caps, 2 goals) attended his first training class last Monday with 15-16 years of a synthetic INF Clairefontaine, without "fear" according to the testimony of coach National Jean-Claude Lafargue. His rehabilitation ended normally for its part says Pascal Maille, the physician of the INF, which recommends, however, to "remain vigilant, to listen to your body and do not rush." "Between ten and fifteen goals a season" Do "not particularly grill" is precisely the watchword in Newcastle. Pardew takes time for Frenchie, including the option to purchase (6 million) was raised during his convalescence and is linked to the club until 2015. The English coach is projected more toward next season. "I use an account in a leading role in Number 10 after a tip. I am sure he is able to register us between ten and fifteen goals a season. Matches this season we will have to see if he has not lost too much as an acceleration. " "Ben Arfa key to the point, to read in L'Equipe on Friday.

Revolution Number 9 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Matches this season we will have to see if he has not lost too much as an acceleration. From that translation, it sounds like Pardew plans on giving him a few appearances? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punk77 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Sounds like he's planning on playing him as a number 10 behind the striker(s). Excellent, excellent indeed. I really hope HBA gets his favorite role next season (AM). He will do more damage in that role than as a wide man. His speed, technique and shot will create havoc. When he has the ball, the defenders must push, which creates space and a disorganized line. This gives HBA the possibility to play the lm and rm through on goal. If HBA plays on the lm it's easier to double mark him, like Manure did with Bale. They led him into the middle of the pitch, forcing him to finish/deliver with his right foot. On the other hand HBA's technique is better. That should enable him to a greater extent to deal with such problems. Still I want him as a AM...
