Tiresias Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Don't forget Pardew has been planning for weeks for this game without ben arfa, couldn't change that now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 If he's fit enough to play he should be in the squad at least, regardless of training. If we're worried about him picking up a strain then it's fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 @DamianSpellman Interesting to hear Pardew's take on Ben Arfa tonight. Maybe Swansea now rather than Southampton. Taking no risks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has only been with us for two days having come from Clairefountaine who put him in terrific shape. `We are very pleased with their contribution and again underlines the relationship we have in France. We have the faith to let him do his recovery there as we would with any player if they preferred that route. `That has worked out well but he has only trained for two days and looks match fitness short but we hoped to get him up to speed perhaps for the next round. `Sunday is too early, but I am certainly looking at the next round of this competition if we get through and a cameo role on the bench for Swansea if he progresses well.’ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 It's like Tiote all over again. It's always the next game until he finally, eventually plays him. Southampton are tough but we still have enough to beat them, however. Can't wait for Hatem's return! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 If he's in terrific shape but short of match fitness surely by playing him is the best way to get him match fit?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 If he's in terrific shape but short of match fitness surely by playing him is the best way to get him match fit?? I'm sure that's what we were all saying last season as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morla84 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Gutted, hopefully this is just one a smokescreen and he is going to start on Sunday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Honestly can't see him being much less fit than he was in our first game against Spurs where he looked like our fittest player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 If it's a case of him just not being match fit then not even having him the bench is the the wrong decision, simple as that. He mustn't be physically fit, not even Pardew in ultra-caution mode is that numb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
