madras Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Scott Wilson says deal is loan to purchase after 25 games played w/ fee of around £5m. That's a ludicrous price for a full international who will clearly have done well if he's played 25 games and kept us up. I'll wait for confirmation (and the end of the transfer window) before praising the board but it looks a cracking deal. alternativly its a ludicrous price for a player who walked out on his previous club to secure an 11mill euro move and his current (?) club are prerpared to lose half of that to be rid ? go figure....if he does come in on a sign on permanent later deal i'd like to know how binding it is towards him AND us ? Comes down to whether you trust Hughton to be able to handle him. He's trouble, of that there's no doubt. Assuming Hughton has a say in transfers () he clearly believes he can tame him. Hopefully a positive of this circus is that the player is no longer quite so highly-rated as when he was younger and wants to prove himself in this league. alternativly we have a deal which we have little intention of fulfilling at the end of the season and the player has reason to behave himself as he is "in the shop window". Equally positive for NUFC tbh, if he does the business. true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatwax Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Ben Arfa is definitely one hell of a handful, much like Bellamy in a way.. but if the right manager is there then he'll play his heart out for the team. End of the day, lets say that he plays 24 games, almost single handedly keeps us up but throws a strop and goes to Manchester United or wherever.. it'll be a kick in the balls, but the first and most important job will have been done.. to survive. Whatever happens after that is a little bit irrelevant until we get there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbers Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I know its early days and all that but Joey Barton seems to have knuckled down under Hughton and hasnt seemed to cause much grief. Lets hope Hughton has the same effect on Ben Arfa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't the HBA/Marseille situation start when MRS said that he should leave and find a new club. Can't really blame him for not feeling wanted/appreciated and all warm n fuzzy about MRS. It's like telling your lass to sling her hook because you're about to hook up with a new one that's prettier and has bigger boobs, and then wonder why she won't stay when the new girl falls through.

Kaizero Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Well I was just standing here, and people said Ben Arfa arrived at the training ground. I asked myself why isn't Ben Arfa official yet? Nobody has no answers, and so I pull out my gun! Tell me why Ben Arfa isn't official yet or else I'm going to shoot someone! http://img.youtube.com/vi/bH84dnd7TqM/0.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
