Guest BooBoo Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 It's really annoying when you see this thread at the top of the board, think something has developed and then realise it's just a few posts of gibberish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 If Hoffenheim are in for him, we wont be able to match it. We have a lower standing than a German village team Yes I do know they have stacks of cash Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakie Doke Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 We should get Obinna on loan instead he's always late for training on my FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Quote from the Marseille chairman in the last 10 minutes. http://www.mercato365.com/infos-clubs/marseille/article_439697_Marseille-Dassier-parle-transferts.shtml Jean-Claude Dassier also mentioned the Hatem Ben Arfa situation, chased by Newcastle. "We must wait, discussions are ongoing". Whether in the original question the interviewer mentioned Newcastle and he answered that, or whether it was just a general status of Ben Arfa's situation would be interesting to know.

Optimistic Nut Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Ben Arfa quotes from tonight. http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/breves2010/20100801_231125_-on-n-a-pas-ete-realiste.html For his part, Hatem Ben Arfa scored in what may be his last ever match with Marseille before he departs (Newcastle?). "Winning is good, and to score is good for your confidence. It was pleasing to win this match as we've been playing well. Tonight, I am still a Marseillais. After that, we will see." said the attacking midfielder, who didn't celebrate his goal this evening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The young attacking-midfielder, who's on the verge of leaving, didn't celebrate his goal. Mind already on Newcastle? Nevertheless....." Equipe seem to be all over the Newcastle link still.

Cajun Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Would be very surprised if he comes, infact if he does sign I will go as far as get the new home kit with his name on the back. Unfortunately I don't think I will be wasting my money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I think the French papers are pushing the Newcastle angle because HBA being the saviour of one of English football's most interesting clubs makes for a better story than him going to Hoffenheim or Werder which would be a similar situation to his current one.

French certainly seem to love the romanticism in football don't they. Would be very surprised if he comes, infact if he does sign I will go as far as get the new home kit with his name on the back. Unfortunately I don't think I will be wasting my money I second this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I love the fact that in the NUFC Rumours thread you're bemoaning the lack of rumours, then when there's a big one like this, you do everything to dismiss it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I don't bemoan this, I very much appreciate any updates, however it all seems to good to be true so I am going to be as cynical as fuck about it so I don't get my hopes up.

Optimistic Nut Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I was talking about Sewelly. The lack of rumours is boring. I liked that day when were linked to every player under the sun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 There'll be a city-wide communal jizz if this happens. We'd make it worldwide. Worldwide. I think we're clearly trying to get th player, btw. Whether we have the resources or the appeal is a completely different discussion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Seriously, I'll be weighing up the possibilities of the transfer one minute, considering where he'll fit in etc and then I'll shoot myself down by telling myself it's impossible and wont happen. Total schizo really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I'm assuming these quotes are from the same interview from L'Equipe but in a bit more depth, but Ben Arfa actually mentions us himself. http://www.mercato365.com/infos-clubs/marseille/article_439702_Marseille-Ben-Arfa-reste-vague.shtml "Tonight, I'm still a Marseillais. At the moment, I am there. But after, we will see...Newcastle? There's been contact with a few clubs, but for the time being I am still a Marseille player. I'm training hard, and when they make the call, I'm there. There's still a fair way to go in the transfer window, and there'll be arrivals as well as people leaving. We're only at August 1st."
