Unbelievable Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/football/8333776.Closing_in_on_Ben_Arfa_deal/ I think this is more belivable then the chronicle s*** Imagine if he turns up at old trafford tonight Real quotes!!!! Weren't you on over the weekend? Take a look at the OP. This one is new isn't it..? Ben Arfa said: “Newcastle have committed themselves to give Marseille what they were asking for, which is a loan with an option to buy me.” Mind, don't know where they got that quote from..?

Cronky Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 From the Youtube clip he seems to be able to beat players for fun. Would absolutely transform our midfield if he signs. I don't think we've got anyone like that in our squad. Yep. If the rumours are true it seems Hughton wants to make him the creative fulcrum of the team, very promising in this case that he sees exactly what we are lacking. In terms of the player's ability, he looks exactly what we need. In terms of his attitude, he looks exactly what we don't need. At the end of the day, I think the players will be prepared to put up with his arsiness, providing he delivers on the pitch, as with Bellamy. If he's lazy, only plays when he has possession, and doesn't release the ball until he's tried to do something flash, then there'll be trouble.

colinmk Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 4-5m is an outrageous price and I've hardly even seen the f***er play. If you're young and British you can have ten good games in the Championship and be worth that. Just pay them the f***ing money, at least if the lad starts being a dick again we'll get at least that money back for him. Exactly, in todays market this price is crazy, not surprised that our hierarchy won't be willing to stump up the cash though as they have repeatedly shown they have no knowledge of football or the ability to make the correct decisions for themselves or us. Our hierachy? How about all the other clubs out there who haven't moved for him either at this price? At least we are trying to get him, while a lot of other clubs don't appear to be. Chill out. I'm chilled to the bone Kaka. If the club is going to be as chilled out as me though then we will get relegated again. Chill guys no one else is in for him so it's all cool! Well what if someone else does come in for him Kaka?>!?! WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE GOING TO DO THEN AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Look how stressed you have made me.

Unbelievable Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Nope, it's in the same L'Equipe interview. Ah right... That's definitely good news for us then, much like a one year trial and if all parties are happy to carry on after that than there is that possibility. I would applaud Ashley & co for once if that came off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confused at how these guys become journalists when everyone on here could have told him that two days ago Me too, basically they now just report what another newspaper/website has already said and that's a 'source'. In the case of the BBC, they even interview and quote their own colleagues! It's mental man, I tell thee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binnsy Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 if we haven't got £4m then we can't pay Marseille £4m no matter how good a deal it maybe. we have got 4M, ashley is trying to claw back his losses this season No we haven't, we haven't got a pot to piss in, we are skint and still got a huge wage bill to pay for. We wouldn't be scraping around looking at loans and freebies if we money in the bank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Really good player, who actually wants to join us! If this doesn't happen, it just shows that this club is going absolutely nowhere with no ambition. I totally sympathise with the sentiment, but I don't think that's necessarily true - a case could be made for the club being financially responsible in this instance. Having said that, I'm not intimately familiar with the true state of the club's finances so it is entirely possible that the club is just being tight.

Teasy Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Our wage bill certainly isn't huge anymore, true its huge for a newly promoted club, but our revenue will be as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't some kind of defence of Ashley and i'd love us to just sign the lad but if the club hasn't got the money then we haven't got it, simple as. We aren't in the Shepherd era anymore and Ashley isn't going to spend money if it puts us further in debt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
