Hanshithispantz Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 How many times has playing the percentages actually worked for us this season? We're absolutely pathetic at attacking the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 He's 26 and he's never come close to realising his potential. Even with us, he's been here 3 years and has only had 6 good months. You won't find many players with that history going for more than £10m let alone £20m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I would be willing to sell him tbh, looks fat as fuck and to inconsistent for us. Would like to see us with two proper wingers attacking and getting crosses in. He makes us narrow as he won't stick to the Right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're absolutely pathetic at attacking the ball. is the right answer, we need to see him playing in a team where he has consistent attacking options before you can credibly accuse him of being selfish Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to see us with two proper wingers attacking and getting crosses in. He makes us narrow as he won't stick to the Right I love his tekkers, but I just see to little end product from him and he does drift in far to much. We need someone to attack the wings if Pardew is in charge, or we need all players freely moving about in final third. It's annoying when we have just our fullback on the right with noone in front because Ben Arfa has drifted in. He doesn't make runs for balls to be played to him, generally just frustrating Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell no - I will clarify, someone with a bit of ball control when running with it, not afraid to take someone on, capable of crossing from byline, doesn't look ridiculous, doesn't resemble a light bulb, offers genuine width and is direct. We need at least one of these on left or right. At moment we have zero width and crossing capabilities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Give him good teammates and a good manager, then see if people would sell him. He has 7 or 8 French, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Argentina, Dutch internationals around him, what more does he need? He looked so unfit at back end of season and overweight, just generally had enough. Think he produces mint youtube clips but having watched every game he has played for us I don't see enough on a regular basis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I understand the Pardew stance, he can make anyone look poor. However I do feel that Ben Arfa will never realise his potential. He needs to play a full season for a start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I agree they need to move about and stuff, but since that's not Pardews mantra, I think direct wingers would serve a better purpose for us with that clown in charge. If someone offered 20 million for Ben Arfa I would snap their hands off (And i'm not mental or delusional), I just don't think he has ever fully realised his potential.

You seem to blame everyone and everything if Ben Arfa has a poor game. Your coming down with a nasty case of Pardewitis with the amount of gobshite excuses you make.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I wouldn't dream of selling him. He's capable of brilliance that every other player in our squad could only dream of. He also should be playing just behind Cisse in a number 10 role, not stuck out wide right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
