A flair player like him is not going to get into that squad by doing a bit of defending and battling relegation. France aren't even sure of going to the WC and he's also on the unwanted list, with Nasri and M'Vila (suspended) after the dressing room bustup at the last Euros Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would one of the most talented attacking players on the continent, in a World Cup year, want to play under No More Goals again and be utterly wasted? Just out of interest.. if Ben Arfa does stay beyond this summer, I assume you will retract that? He still might if a positive manager is installed and some ambition shown. I doubt it like but I wouldn't discount the possibility. Under this mug, no chance. I think we've seriously blown it with regards keeping our top players. If Pardew stays then the more technical players will be looking for moves. Which is why I believe Pards will be sacked once the season's ended. Sorry, but I don't believe even Ashley is that pig headed to back a losing cause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to be in a team playing exciting,attacking football. Something I think he realises will never happen with our current manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote HBA isn't some sort of Bale-esque European superstar at the moment. He's a mostly injured flair player in a struggling side. He also works for a club who won't sell him cheap, and he seems to like it here. I don't see where the certainty he will leave comes from. Exactly. The certainty comes from that article plus you guys feeling like shit, but if you stay up then it's a whole different ballgame. He's clearly happy there, and the injuries will clearly worry everyone else. Quote Sissoko would be great in that Spurs team alongside Sandro, but they already have Dembele to do the box-to-box stuff. They won't go for Cabaye either, they've got Holtby who has a tremendous future. Honestly, I think all this is pointless because (a) you'll stay up (b) you'll sack Pardew. If you fail to do either of those, then maybe players will be looking to leave, but I think you'll do them both. Ben Arfa is probably the one player we'd be most interested in because he offers us something we're really looking for - a clever, tricksy player who can play across the pitch as part of the three in 4231, or in the front three in a 433. Those who think we'd be looking for Ben Arfa to replace Bale are missing the point - we'd be expecting to get far more for Bale than we'd expect to pay for Ben Arfa, so we'd be getting Ben Arfa plus some money to get others in. Even if there is some truth in this, I reckon nothing happens unless you get relegated. I also reckon that if that happens, we'd be interested in Ben Arfa whether or not Bale stays.
