Think I'm a bit obsessed with Hatem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 He wouldn't be considered Ballon D'or if he's keep playing here, simply as that. That's meaningless to us though isn't it? The longer he's with us, the better we become, Newcastle need him. I'd prefer him not getting a ballon d'or if it means he fires us into CL football next year/one year and I think almost everyone would Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Like he even gives a shit about thew ballon d'or, man. He'll never come close to winning it anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 If I was Pardew, I'd get him to practice shooting and crossing with his right foot. For sure, he's very good at making space to hit it with his left, but he does pass up opportunities by not trusting his right. I do get the impression that on the continent there's more of an emphasis on expanding your repertoire with your stronger foot, rather than building up your weaker one. :thup: His right isn't even that bad at present, he just much prefers the left. It's definitely something which can be worked on. My left foot used to feel like someone else's when I swung my foot at the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he continues playing like that, it is just a matter of time that he wants to be the best playing in the world, and he has to leave to do that.

Pixelphish Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I'd really like to think that given his previous personality clashes he'd be cautious of going to a club like Madrid. It might be wishful thinking but I could see him here a good 3 full seasons. I suppose it depends on the size of the bid and how many £'s appear in MA's eyes.

Guest mimifrench Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 There must be something wrong with some of you on here. Can't you just enjoy him being in your team and playing every weekend now, without speculating on tranferts ?? Ben arfa will go nowhere in the near future, he loves playing in Newcastle and in England. He certainly won't return to France, impossible for me (to answer Optimistic nut post on Lille). Going to a very big club now (no that NUFC isn't one but...) would be a terrible mistake. And to do what there? Seating on the bench?? Know M.Ashley is looking for money every time but sometimes if you want the club to improve and stay in high level for a long time, you just have to put all your effort to keep your best players. And needless to say that it will also attract other good players to NUFC. And I'm near to say that Ben arfa played a big role for NUFC's attractiveness...

'i'd take Y for X s**** patter' and in relation to BenArfa? there's no f***ing need for it No, but it's tedious at times. The only question is : Do you want Newcastle to be competitive for the years to come? If the answer is yes, then keep your big players and for me Hatem is one of them. He's gold in his feet, he loves NUFC, that's all that matter right now. If you think about the worth of the players as soon as they perform well, you'll surely end up like small uninteresting club, a Sunderland bis in some way... Seriously, imagining you can play Champion's League next year in St James Park is wonderful so don't waste all what you've built over the last few years.

Agreed instead of worrying about if our top players leaving we should enjoy them while they here and if they are to leave then we cross that bridge when we come to it.......

Seriously, imagining you can play Champion's League next year in St James Park is wonderful so don't waste all what you've built over the last few years. Unfortunately we are not the people to answer that question. Because our answer won't change a tad on the outcome if a player will get sold or not. I think everyone here would love to keep Ben Arfa, regardless if they are speculating about his worth. I agree that we should enjoy our players when they play great and not spoil our own joy by starting speculations about them leaving. But even though I'm only supporting Newcastle for a handful of years now, I've learnt quickly that having a class player means seeing this player leave rather sooner than later - or maybe I feel this especially strong because I've only follwed NUFC in recent years, who knows. But that certainly seemed to be the direction the club was going (that some decisions turned out a blessing in disguise is another story...). By right Newcastle has been compared to a conveyer belt to the big clubs. And it certainly doesn't help that the press picks up on this, too, and is only to happy to link every one of our stars to bigger clubs with more money. Having said that, the majority of the season I was thinking "Oh, if only we could finish in a place allowing us to play European football next season. That would keep us Coloccini, Ba, Cabaye, ...". I felt almost desperate, knowing that the team would get ripped apart should we finish (lower) midtable. Now, that we have managed it, it would be great just to celebrate, relax and enjoy the last few matches without reading about loosing Ben Arfa. From another angle though: thinking not the likes of Liverpool and Tottenham are going to steal our players, but ManU, Barca or Milan are taking them for > £20m, isn't that just another way of expressing how grear we are/Ben Arfa is? At least it shows how highly he is valued on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
