Guest Big Al Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 WICKED whispers that Hatem Ben Arfa may never recover fully from his double leg break have been strenuously denied by Alan Pardew. http://www.sundaysun.co.uk/sport/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/05/29/pardew-denies-the-wicked-whispers-about-ben-arfa-79310-28782193/ Yeah, I've read it half an hour ago and was defo relieved - my only problem with it is that it comes from Pardew's mouth - not the most credible source, you know..

Elliottman Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Glad the rumours have at least been addressed though, think i would have been more worried if we hadnt of heard anything at all. Stupid wanker Wraith! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 HBAs agent said similar about bigging up his chance in playing in the last three games to keep his head up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Call me a pessimist, but I've always said I want to wait till I see Ben Arfa back on the pitch before I start thinking that he could be our best (one of our best) player(s) next season. We've seen it with Owen back those years what a heavy injury can do to a great player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest VegasToon Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Seriously excited to see him come back especially if we pull off a couple of these rumored transfers. Gameiro Zogbia Ben Afra Gervinho Tiote Cabaye Add Barton, Nolan, Jonas, Gosling and Best for depth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Seriously excited to see him come back especially if we pull off a couple of these rumored transfers. Gameiro (messi) Zogbia(affellay) Ben Arfa(xavi) Gervinho (villa) Tiote (busquets) Cabaye (iniestA) Add Barton, Nolan, Jonas, Gosling and Best for depth.

Gameiro Zogbia Ben Afra Gervinho Tiote Cabaye Add Barton, Nolan, Jonas, Gosling and Best for depth. That would be a fucking astonishing lineup. We're a million miles away from signing all of the above but if we could it would completely vindicate the decision to sell Carroll for £35m IMO.

James Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Would like to see an Englishman in there somewhere. There will be at least two in half our games I reckon unless Barton really does leave, and people are very mistaken to think that it could or should be any different. Nolan will be starting every game when fit as our club captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Couldn't give a fudge really how many English players we've got. If we could sign somebody like Sturridge, Jarvis etc then great but quite frankly there is no value in English players for the most part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 We had one of the most English squads in the league last season, anyway. I wouldn't worry about that yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Fuck buying English, you just get ripped off. If we bought English we'd be looking at Reo-Coker and Smith next season instead of Tiote and possibly Cabaye. The more cheeky European bargains the better.

kingxlnc Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I would make Coloccini captain tbh - Nolan still club captain but not first choice, similar to Smith in the Championship? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
