Thespence Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Ben Arfa confirmed in the morning? We don't have to sign Ben Arfa during the transfer window. Yes we do as you can only transfer a players registration during the window, Marseille currently hold his permanent registration. I think he means we can wait till the summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 A s*** source I know, but I can't find where I read it originally: "An existing loan deal can be made permanent at any time outside the transfer window." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_window Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Must be in the printed version of L'Equipe and not the website yet but most of the websites quoting L'Equiipe's Sessegnon story are saying we've actually made an offer for him along with Villa, not just shown an interest.

KaKa Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Sessegnon and Ziani typically play left, right or off the striker. Both atacking type players who would be good enough to go straight into the first team. Seen quite a bit of both in the African Nations tournaments. Ziani gave England a lot of headaches in the Algeria friendly leading up to the world cup if you recall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Sessegnon is definitely predominently an attacking mid/second striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Sessegnon is definitely predominently an attacking mid/second striker. Yeah, probably his best position, and you could say the same about Ziani. However, have seen both play wide too, and they are threats from those positions as well. Both would be players good enough for the first team, so hope we are really looking at either of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
