QBG Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 http://madmarcus.football.fr/post/2010/08/04/OM-:-Ben-Arfa-voudrait-rester-si-Niang-s-en-allait-! Alors qu'Hatem Ben Arfa est annoncé aux 4 coins d'Europe (Hoffenheim, Werder Brême, Newastle), sous réserve que les acheteurs portentiels y mettent le prix, et qu'un bras de fer semble s'être engagé entre Mamadou Niang et l'Olympique de Marseille (suite à l'offre "paradisiaque" du club turc de Fenerbahçe), selon certaines sources proches du club Ben Arfa pourraît changer son fusil d'épaule. En effet, il semblerait qu'Hatem Ben Arfa soit disposé à rester à l'OM, voire même le souhaite fortement, si Mamadou Niang était transféré. En effet, celà lui ferait espérer plus de temps de jeu, et il ne serait donc pas obligé de quitter la Canebière sur un constat d'échec ! Basically if Niang goes to Fenerbache then he'd consider staying at Marseille. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Basically, if a bidding war starts we're fucked. Marseille don't need to accept our offer, even if the player wants to move here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone's attempting to do any fleecing, it's us. Aye, but what are you expecting us to do? Negotiation doesn't really work when a club says "Right we want £8m..." and we go "Cash or cheque?" - you see how cheap you can get him, how much he's actually worth etc. There's no point to agreeing to their valuation immediately as chances are they've inflated it to get a bit of extra cash out of you.

I suppose so. It's just the lack of faith I've got in this board that makes me think they're going to fuck it all up by trying to get him for a ridiculously low price.

Guest michaelfoster Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Apart from money, there is no reason why anyone would go to Hoffenheim, they're not in Europe and with Bayern, Leverkusen, Werder, Hamburg etc. They probably won't be next season. Stadium is average, no history, no real fanbase and the squad is decent but would probably be midtable to bottom half in the Prem. Basically if its true then Ben Arfa is right to favour us. So about the same as us then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Who the fuck are Hoffenheim? Seriously. They were in the German version of the Conference North a few seasons ago, ffs. Doesn't really matter today, does it? They are were they are because of various reasons. I don't think Ben Arfa would be interested in joining a club with a "history". He won't last that long there or here if he has that talent which he is said to have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I'm sure Hughton is stressing to Ashley that he could be our Milner,ie sell him for 2 or 3 times what Villa brought him for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Who the f*** are Hoffenheim? Seriously. They were in the German version of the Conference North a few seasons ago, ffs. Hoffenheim have some decent players. Salihovic, Carlos Eduardo, Obasi, Ibisevic etc. Quite like them as a team. As far as I know they play with a 4-3-3 so he'd probably suit their formation better. Nevertheless I have hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 It's more a case of me wondering where they came from to even negotiate with a player like Ben Arfa. Wikipedia says Hoffenheim has a population of 3,272. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
