Guest michaelfoster Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 He will still be short of match fitness when he comes back, will take a few weeks after Wolves before he will be starting matches Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The_Miz Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Thanks for answering. It is true that wolwerhampton is one of the most physical team in the premier league ? If so, Ben arfa shouldn't play this match on the 2nd of april. What is your opinion ? Exactly that. Last time we played them they targeted Barton, I've got no doubt that if Ben Arfa makes his comeback against them they'll do the same to him. He is insane if he puts on HBA against Wolfes.. But by not playing him for fear of injury effectively validates their 'bully' tactics...if he is 100% fit he should play, or at least get 20mins as a sub.

Hanshithispantz Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Validating there bully tactivpcs or not, it would be mental to place him on the same field as Karl Henry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpal78 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 This is the thing that pisses me off with Pardew, he gives contradictory messages within a short space of time. Just a what 2 weeks ago,he was saying HBA should be back by Wolves, (Stoke was too soon) and now suddenly he is saying we might not see him again this season. The bigger implication is that I don't know when I can believe him anymore (for the record I don't think he is lying), just maybe that he is trying to achieve everything at the same time i.e. keep our hopes up yet tamper our expectations and reduce the pressure on HBA and in the process comes out with contradictory messages like this.

Gallowgate Toon Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I'll be amazed if he doesn't play again this season, there's just too many games left for him to not feature at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpal78 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I'll be amazed if he doesn't play again this season, there's just too many games left for him to not feature at all. Then what about that quote from Pardew that he would be delighted if HBA plays again this season, surely that's not a good sign? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 According to Pardew 3 days ago, he'd be fit in a month, I'd take it with a pinch of salt. The guy will be fit in the next 6 weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 He was extremely friendly yesterday and spent a lot of time with fans being very patient for autographs and photos etc. Quite a humble lad, with absolutely no superstar arrogance. Looked very happy. Can't wait to see him in black and white again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked very happy. Can't wait to see him in black and white again. He's now in the right club. He's in a solid player group and is already adored by the fans who's willing to give him time. That's the TLC he needs to blossom, imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mimifrench Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Did you expected to see an arrogant or presomptuous person, like many of football players are ? Ben arfa is not so. Even if he is a stubborn boy, he is a very estimable man. The french media who don't like him very much, tried to show him as a player who don't care about anything. By the way, your coach seems to say contradictory things about ben arfa. How he can say now that Ben arfa won't probably play this season whereas he said last day that he'll be back for the match against wolves. Someone can explain it to me please ?

Possibly he decided after saying HBA would be back for Wolves he should be trying to take pressure off Ben Arfa while he gets ready to return.

themanupstairs Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I'd say giving him game time before the end of the season is important for him. Waiting all summer only builds the pressure up even more. I'd try to give him as much time as is reasonable if I was Pards. absolutely true this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
