alexf Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Got a feeling he may tear it up in training in the next few days with the rest of the lads recovering and forcing old Pards' hand to include him in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Aye a little 15-20 cameo at the end no matter how the fame is going get him on, only one way to get match fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyCisse Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Him on the bench with the potential to come on will lift the crowd and players, Ben Arfa or Obertan... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VanBarduck Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Tim Krul and Hatem Ben Arfa to have late fitness tests on Sunday . Your toughts on this ? Does it mean he could make the bench at Southampton ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 If he passes the tests he'll be on the bench, yeah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest VanBarduck Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 My translation wasn't bad either ( still some progress to make , didn't quite catch how to use "like" at the end of sentence) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 "Like" at the end of a sentence is far to informal, AMIRIGHT? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VanBarduck Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 “He definitely won’t be involved on Sunday, he’s nowhere near sharp enough for the Premier League level yet. He’s getting there, he looks in good shape, looking forward to see him. I think maybe by Swansea we will get a little bit of Hatem”. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Cant understand how the other day Pardew said he was back in 'great shape' but apparently unfit for even a cameo tomorrow and only maybe a 'little bit' v swansea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hard to argue this as we're not seeing him in training, but if he isn't "sharp" enough yet surely the bench is a better option? It's not like he can't still be effective in ten or fifteen minutes, and could increase his chances for Swansea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spiria Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I really hope he will be on the bench. Just hope it is like at the beginning of the season all over again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Disappointing but if he isn't ready he isn't ready Exactly. There's probably an element of not wanting to allow him to just stroll back into a team that's been playing well too, not without at least a week or so working in training.

BillClinton Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I don't know, he was rushed back for Fulham and look what what happened. I'd wait a week if there are any doubts, not worth the risk.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
