buzza Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 The ben arfa "hidden fee" was paid from the AC transfer, apparently Mike and Decks had earmarked any future income to offset this transfer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The £5.5m, where did that come from? I thought we were skint and it certainly didn't come from Ashley's pocket Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A business can run in the red for a long time, increasing its debt to keep going. Otherwise we (and almost every other club) would have gone bust ages ago.

I thought we were skint and it certainly didn't come from Ashley's pocket £5.5 million plus signing on fee, plus agents fees, plus all his future wages locked safely away in the bank etc. Wonder what all that adds up to?

Skirge Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 6 weeks out, bad twist. Source? You mean its not been posted in here yet lol when I posed nailed on it will be2 month I thought the 6 week story had hit. nufcfans NUFCfans #NUFC midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa is out for 6 weeks, no break says L'Equipe. (via / @MikeToonLewis) > bit.ly/nxbNaz http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/breves2011/20110725_084137_ben-arfa-rien-de-casse.html Ben Arfa, nothing broken Hit in the left ankle with Newcastle on Wednesday in a friendly in the United States against Sporting Kansas City (0-0), Hatem Ben Arfa, repatriated to England on the field, will not undergo surgery. Its leaders feared that the French midfielder does not switch back on the table, nine months after his double fracture tibia and fibula of the left leg which has denied any official meeting since October 3, 2010. The International (8 caps, 2 goals) has passed examinations which confirmed that nothing had broken. He suffers from a huge breach. The club expects a six-week shutdown will deprive the beginning of the season. The player will make his reeducation in Paris. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Something fishy about the fact that he always needs to go back to France for his injuries. You'd think a simple ankle twist could be dealt with by the club physios. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think a simple ankle twist could be dealt with by the club physios. A simple ankle twist its not 6 weeks out though, however I agree I don't understand the need to be back in France for treatment unless it was the best place in the world to treat this kind of injury.

Elliottman Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Something fishy about the fact that he always needs to go back to France for his injuries. You'd think a simple ankle twist could be dealt with by the club physios. Think someone has made the point that with the first team being in the US and the reserves being in Dutchland, there wont be an awful lot of people kicking around. I'd imagine he'll be back next week with everyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Something fishy about the fact that he always needs to go back to France for his injuries. You'd think a simple ankle twist could be dealt with by the club physios. A lot of players usually ask to see their favored doctors when facing a possibly serious injury. They are the ones most familiar with the player's medical history anyway, so it's not a daft petition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
