garth Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I hope the club sticks with him, just to show we are decent club and would show to Ben Arfa that we take care of our own, even more incentive to want to stay and play for us because I still think he will be a cracking player for us in the long run.

Crumpy Gunt Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 If it's serious then yeah, I could imagine us sending him back It's a broken leg, how much more serious does it get for a footballer? Death? Cruciate / ligaments Clean break would be less harsh. The tackle was a shocker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 The earliest we could possibly see him is February, any longer than that and I cannot see us keeping him here- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Hughton's thinks he might have broken tib and fib. If so could be career threatening. Hopefully not, Cisse amongst others has had a fine recovery from that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like we did Owen. I know what you mean but in our position we can't afford to stick by a player we can't play. I do think we will have to for this season anyway, can't see Marseilles taking him back and accepting his £50k wages back on their books. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I right kick in the bollocks, that. I'm gutted for us and gutted for ben arfa. He has talent and creativity oozing out of his arse, the one thing we've lacked for years. Coming back from an injury like that can often be mentally very difficult, so even if he heals 100% he still may never be the same. Here's hoping he get back to the level he was at and become the player he was meant to be. Whether it's for us or somebody else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andrew Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 if it's a tib and fib, or even less than that, he may not come back the same player. He will lose a bit of pace, I'd imagine for sure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but Owen was coming to an end of his career, Ben Arfa is only just beginning his. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I think my biggest pet peeve is hearing shit from commentators like "Welcome to England, son" after a shit tackle/challenge. As though both A) every reckless clattering is a prime example of English football and B) every johnny foreigner is a theatrical diving poof. They'd probably be telling him "walk it off lad, you'll see worse than that in this league" if de Jong had pulled out a pistol and shot him. Really sad to hear and see this though. Hope it's not really career threatening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I'm starting to get over it. Signing Ben Arfa was always a huge bonus, none of us expected it to happen and he's certainly much too good to be playing at a team of our stature. Take him out of the equation and we lose something special, but we've still got one of the better sides out of the survival-chasers. We can stay up with what we have.

Although it's a huge blow, I think we can scrape above the relegation zone with what we've got. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
