Guest bmoregeordie Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 We're absolutely expecting too much. A return to form immediately is unlikely. I hope he is eased back, and provides us with an offensive spark at half or 60' in for the first few matches. how much are 'we' expecting? well, judging by other threads, some expect him to lead us to three goals a match on the regular once he returns. and newcastle fans in general tend to be the heartbroken types. least i do.

RupertCommunicator Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 On the expectation thing, yeah perhaps we're pinning our hopes a bit on this guy. But it's a weird transfer / situation, i can't remember one quite like it. We've spent major cash in the past on star players, but HBA doesn't fall into that category. Yet he excited us fans as much as any signing in recent memory. I'm 34, a bit too old to have a "favourite player" but i genuinely want ben arfa to become a geordie legend. I can't explain why. Maybe it's related to the circumstance he arrived at the club, i don't know. That said, this thread was about 200 pages long before he even landed at the airport. (the first time) Which shows how much we wanted him. Like i said, bizarre situation. David Ginola then Laurent Robert then Hatem Ben Arfa This is why everyone is so excited.

The level of expectation isn't uncalled for, it's not like Shearer was right in saying he's a player few have heard of. He's proven on the European scene that he's good and a constant performer, of course we're excited about getting him back and have high expectations.
