Ronaldo Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 The definition of innovation doesn't include the words 'very few'. He's a great talent and unique within our squad. To call him an innovator is ludicrous. Who mentioned innovation? He mentioned innovate which means to start something new, that could apply in the short term. Give over. That's not applicable here nor what he implied. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NobbyOhNobby Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Innovate still stands as having been appropriately used. "Introduce something new, make changes in anything established" - by it's very definition Ben Arfa is relevant to the verb and the context of the Newcastle team. Back to my other point - are you on your rag? Or are you utilising that well enjoyed debate mechanism of shout and belittle? Either way, you're coming across on numerous threads as something of a pedant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I thought this thread had reached its peak of pointlessness - how wrong could I be. It's innovating in terms of futility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Lots of people setting themselves up for a huge fall with this lad. Even if he plays well he'll never fulfill some of the superlatives thrown at him in this thread. It's embarrassing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ man, nobody is guaranteeing he's going to fire us into the Champions League with an endless string of hattricks. We're just excited to see a genuinely world-class player in our team again.

Dr Venkman Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I'll set my stall out now and say he'll be better and more effective than Leon Best, if that one comes back to bite me then so be it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I believe the issue is with you calling him world class I don't believe it is, I think he has taken a shine to Leon Best and Ben Arfa is competition for his place. He was the same with Marlon Harewood for some reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonsays Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 So - it seems everyone agrees he should be in the team (perhaps with the exception of Christmas Tree?). The debate seems to be should he play behind the striker or on the wing - after Pardew's comments it seems he is only being considered in a central role and I think it is this that Ronaldo is questioning rather than is he good enough/is he better than Best.
