Guest mimifrench Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 ah yes i do understand it now. No ben arfa wasn't eating an apple lol Do you think ben arfa can have a carrer like Cantona had in England or not ? How do people in England feel about Cantona ? And just a last thing, did you (i mean Nexcastle fans ans English people) know ben arfa before he sign for Newcastle ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolution Number 9 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I would say most English football fans with a clue had at least heard of him before he came here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I knew of Ben Arfa before we signed him, although I wouldn't expect to be in the majority. Manchester United fans obsess over Cantona. I cannot foresee Ben Arfa having a career of the same magnitude in England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishmael Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I expect a significant number of people to dislike Canatona as a person, but I would hope that they are levelheaded enough to appreciate his footballing talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolution Number 9 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Personally, I don't like him because he was a massive cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Curls Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I thought he was great and I thoroughly enjoyed watching him when I was younger manchester utd or not. I'd only heard of Ben arfa a couple of years ago through transfer rumours if I'm honest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Everyone apart from Alan Shearer knew of Ben Arfa. Ha ha, that's true, I always thought he was one of those players that were too good for us ever to have a hope of signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 This guy has been rubbish, only one goal and no assists all season? He's barely better than Stephen Ireland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I love Cantona, one of my favourite players ever. If Ben Arfa has half the success in England it would be amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Sadl If Ben Arfa is half as successful as Cantona was over here, it certainly won't be with us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Just watched Ben Arfa vs Everton for the 50-11th time. Still cant believe we got a player of his talent, no matter how inconsistent he can be, that little extra magic every now and then he can come up with gets you so excited wondering what he'll do next on the pitch. I forget quite often that we even have him at our club, too bad we didn't get to see very much of him. At this moment i just want us to secure our Premier League contract so that we can look forward to next season with Ben Arfa and hopefully a few other exciting players strengthening our team. I know it's likely we'll stay up but as long as there's a IF i cant feel 100% relaxed. If we make it through this season we can push on for better things next season hopefullu, without having to worry about relegation stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punk77 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 His talent is unique, and I sometimes feel that some fans are not aware of his potential. Everton and Moeyes are masters when it comes to applying precise pressure and taking out specific opponents, but they had no chances on HBA. He eased past two players within seconds. It was when he went for the third and fourth he ran into trouble. If he learns when to pass/dribble, he'll go down as one of the greatest players in nufc's history.

Ikon Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 it's frustrating not knowing how his rehab is going, what level is he at now, what kind of training is he doing, how far from fitness is he, how he's doing and so on. Not heard/read anything at all lately, not very much in detail anyways. Would love to read a big and long interview with him about his progress and thoughts. Annoying knowing shit!!!!

Too many reasons to list, mainly revolving around him playing for Man U. Great player, but IMO that kung fu kick was simply unforgivable and indefensible.

Colocho Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Wouldn't even consider bringing him back if we pick up 5 points from our next 6 matches. Seriously, unless we really need him, there is no point bringing him back this season. Let him fully recover, have a full pre-season and crack on from there. Concerned the club will rush him back as a PR stunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkeye Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I know that every leg break is different but, it really annoys me when I see the likes of Ramsey back and playing at Arsenal and Valencia playing at Man Utd while Ben Arfa is still recovering from his injury. Their breaks, Ramsey's in particular, seemed to be far more serious yet they are back and good as new. It makes me question what our medical team do. It seems to me that we take far longer to get our players back to fitness following any sort of injury than other clubs. Anyone else see that or is it just me being cynical?

Our medical team is clearly one of the worst in the league. Always harping on about it, but the sooner we clear out the lot of them, the better.
