Cunning_Linguist Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I'd like to think that the main detals of his contract were sorted when he came over 2 weeks ago. I know we officially said we were refusing to talk to him without permission but I think we may have had the odd chat or 3 to sort something out. You never know though. Do you reckon it was the same sort of 'Chat' that Ashley Cole had with Peter Kenyon in that restaurant before he moved to chelsea? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I think it's worth reminding ourselves that the reason he turned down Real was because they have much better players than us which meant he wouldn't get a game lads I think we knew it wasn't because we were a better team TBH.

I know we officially said we were refusing to talk to him without permission but I think we may have had the odd chat or 3 to sort something out. You never know though. You might be right. He did say when he went back that he'd spoke to Hughton and he'd offered him a central playmaker role, didn't he? I've read that much fucking drivel in this thread I've forgotten who said what and when tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't wanna board a sinking ship, which is fair enough really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give Ashley/Llambias credit when they get his signature on the contract. Even so I believe HBA's already said this moves not about the money so it shouldn't be a hard sell.

merlin Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 To be fair, if even some of the quotes and reports have been true, it seems like we've behaved pretty well during this saga and stood strong for the deal we wanted. A little bit of credit must go to the club for that. I think the biggest reason we have got Ben Arfa here is because for some insane reason he had his heart set on coming here. For our part we put in an offer and kept our fingers crossed he wouldn't go anywhere else. Dunno why people keep saying that. I think it's more he had his heart set on leaving Marseille, and at the time his Newcastle quotes came out we were the only club who he'd spoken to or who had made an offer. I don't for one second think he's forced this through out of any burning desire to play for us. Agree - he has probably heard about the fans etc from Ginola or Robert and that NUFC are a big club but not so big that he would face a problem getting into the side as at Madrid. Likes the idea of being big fish in a small pond where he can put himself into the shop window for the top PL sides. All the hype about Hughton etc is just fairy-land stuff - all players think about is themselves and their pockets...he's French and owes no loyalty to NUFC.
