Don't think we'll ever see HBA in B&W again unless Pardew starts feeling the pressure and he'll hoy him on for a cameo when we're losing and use that to drop him again.

Jesse Pinkman Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Just seen he's only got a year left on his contract..... and it all becomes clear! They obviously want to force a sale this summer to try and get as much money as possible, wouldn't surprise me if Ben Arfa has clicked on and decided to give Pardew and Ashley a big fuck you and play on until he can leave for free.

Dokko Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Something will give before the end of the transfer window. I can see him being loaned out to another mid table/promoted side. Hes worth a punt for these clubs, who will otherwise never be able to attract a player of his calibre. He's going nowhere, loan or otherwise, if he doesn't want to. If a decent opportunity comes calling he'll be off quicker than Jordan's knickers on a first date. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

United first approached Ben Arfa’s representatives back in July, but the France international wanted to concentrate on his football and getting back to full fitness after an injury-plagued season.

GeordieT Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Hatem Ben Arfa looks to be facing an ever bleaker future at Newcastle after slipping further down the pecking order. West Ham, QPR and Crystal Palace will all be interested in the playmaker should he become available at a cut-down price. The 27-year-old France international will not travel to New Zealand with the first-team squad this weekend after training away from the main group since his return for pre-season. Reports from France have suggested Ben Arfa has been fined for arriving back on Tyneside overweight - a charge he has denied - although the club was keeping its own counsel on the matter on Thursday. However, having been discarded by manager Alan Pardew at the end of last season at a time when his talent could have proved more than useful amid questions over his attitude, the former Marseille midfielder appears to be surplus to requirements. The arrivals of Siem de Jong and Remy Cabella have increased the pool of attacking midfield talent available to Pardew and it has been an open secret for some time that Newcastle are open to offers. As yet, none have been forthcoming and Ben Arfa could spend the final year of his contract kicking his heels in the reserves. That would be a huge waste of a natural ability which has made him a fans’ favourite during his four seasons to date on Tyneside, and at one point saw him linked with a £20million switch to Liverpool. However, for every stunning goal or assist, there have been many more ineffectual displays, and a deterioration of relationships behind the scenes suggests divorce one way or another is inevitable. http://www.london24.com/sport/football/clubs/crystal-palace/west_ham_palace_and_qpr_could_make_their_moves_for_out_of_favour_newcastle_ace_1_3689048 Sure its total bollocks from a random as f*** source, but just reading it made me angry at the idea of seeing him play under the likes of Pulis and Allardyce. Should he / when he leaves this summer, it better be to a club abroad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

koven Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Tiote came back fat as f*** in pre-season a couple of years ago and old Pards was happy to just laugh and joke with him about it then. Got a link to that? Just wanna shut up a few mongs on twitter Thats hardly fat as fuck tbf Think that was later on, where he was happier with him. It was either in an NUFC TV video or one of the French TV segments that got posted (have a feeling the latter) where Pardew was joking with Tiote and his mate at the entry to the training complex about how much beef he'd put on during pre-season.
