Stifler Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Not too sure if I should get Ben Arfa 37 or Carrol 9 if/when I get the home shirt. I really don't want to pay for 2 shirts so getting an away one aswell isn't an option, infact I'm going to see if I can add it to my xmas list.

Ketsbaia Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Should be introduced from the bench against Blackpool, just so he gets an ovation when he runs on! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuv Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Should be introduced from the bench against Blackpool, just so he gets an ovation when he runs on! Or sub him off in the 88th minute after scoring a hattrick, so then he gets an even BIGGER ovation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I must admit i think we've missed a trick signing him permanently here like, if he has a good season I cant see him coming back next year.. That's not the way I see the deal. If we play him just 24 games we can send him packing, if we want, or play him the full 25+ and he's ours automatically...with a fee of course. As this seems officially the deal then I'd presume the contract with the player would take this into account? I may be wrong but is seem like an excellent piece of business on our behalf.

Guest koenji Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Ben Arfa technically is one of the best in the world. He can beat any defender one on one with speed, tricks, he just such a lovely player to watch when in full flow. Problem is that he isn't in full flow a lot. Of the games he will play this season, 40% he will be invisible, 20% he will be average and 40% he will be unplayable. That doesn't sound too bad but couple that with the fact, that he refuses to defend and when not in good form (hope our fans don`t jump on his back too much a la L.Robert / Ginola ....we dont want 11 battlers ) , dribbles mindlessly into alleyways, and you can see why managers get fed up with him. Should be fun to watch almost half the time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colocho Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Nolan looked his usual woeful self yesterday. Ben Arfa will obviously go behind Carroll, can only hope he doesn't force Barton out of the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I think people need to not judge him from youtube vids. Anyone remember Albert Luque's youtube highlights? The big difference is Luque didn't really want to be here, Ben Arfa definitely does want to be here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Luque ran his bollocks off in his first two games. Don't perpetuate that nonsense on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I remember Luque bumming Ferdinand in his first game, and then getting injured. After that his return from injury was seen as lack of effort/talent. I'll be honest, that might just be rose tinted glasses, but I certainly remember him coming in and looking very handy at first.

He's awful in that role, just has a habit of being in the 'right place' at, yes, the right time. He contributes so little to the play that it kills some of my brain cells.
