Pilko Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Keeping Best on the pitch ahead of Ben Arfa :lol: I don't believe him there like. It's obvious he'd put a fit Ben Arfa in the side somewhere, I think he's just using the old 'win the shirt and keep it' motivational technique.

David28 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Probably better to not play him again this campaign. We don't need him that much this season and he'll be a better player after a full pre season than without it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need him that much this season and he'll be a better player after a full pre season than without it. He should definitely make some sub appearances in May, at the very least. I don't see how it will help him for next season if he doesn't play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punk77 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 This pisses me off. Are you aware of how much sexy football De Jong has taken away from us? f***ing hate that cretin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Yet while Pardew admitted he was relishing the return of club’s talented midfielder-cumstriker he made it known he will not just walk straight back into the first team. just me?

Guest je85 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Loosely related, Valencia returned to training for Manchester United today (not sure if his break was just before or after Ben Arfa's, can't be too far away though) but check out the difference in size between his legs. http://desmond.yfrog.com/Himg620/scaled.php?tn=0&server=620&filename=2frwf.jpg&xsize=640&ysize=640 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 My friend had a similar injury to Ben Arfa last Spring, his legs were exactly the same as Valencia's there, and still kind of are. Building that muscle is definitely key before he returns. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Speaking of Valencia, think having him back for the run in might just about seal the title. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mimifrench Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Today, the news that Ben arfa is out for the season has been taken by all the French sport media ... I think what your coach said about ben arfa's return is not a good signal send to the player, unless he has talked to him privately. It is difficult to see that Ben arfa won't play until next season, but i repeat again pardew shouldn't have said that HBA was likely to play against the Wolves (he has made a big mistake, if i can say that).

madras Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 is that not a reading of pardew saying he may not be and we'll take as long as it takes, maybe april maybe maybe next season ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 No point risking him at this moment in time, let him fully recover and come back stronger than ever for next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 It'll take as long as it takes, we all got excited about a quick return but a few minutes here and there followed by a full pre-season would be fine by me. We're lucky that we're in a position not to need him back to save us from relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Can see him getting around of maybe a total of 75-90 minutes as sub during the last 3 matches. No point in rushing him, except if the last match of the season is Europa League decider Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I'd love to see him for 5 minutes at our last home game. We're going to shit ourselves every time he goes down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
