Winn Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Love Hatem and really dont want him to go. Hate seeing him wasted on the bench. Its Pardews job to get the absolute best out of him. And his best is breath taking! One of our best players and would definately be in my starting lineup. Riviere/New striker Cabella - De Jong - Ben Arfa Tiote - Sissoko Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Get French Football Newcastle United have accepted an offer for Hatem Ben Arfa, but the player refuses to budge. Full story: http://t.co/26PbPBypVs #NUFC So they are trying to fine him 2000 euros for being 1.5kg overweight when he returned for training? What a farce. He's contesting that saying it's muscle put on while on holiday which sums up how petty this whole business has become. Pathetic. Muscle? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 1.5 Kilos!!! A quick wank and half an hour in a sauna would sort that out FFS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 What a joke. The one player who can really get the fans going and Pardew has got absolutely no idea how to manage him (or fit him into a system). Not saying HBA is blameless but still, its a shitty situation. Is this the token disclaimer now when discussing Ben Arfa? For fuck's sake, it's a football club. This guy is brilliant at the bloody thing. Play him, or come out and say why you won't, transfer list him, and move on. It stinks of ego on behalf of Pardew. (Not having a go at you gleebals btw. Just saying) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 God i want this lad back in form smiling and enjoying the managers confidence in him giving him freedom to roam with Cabella among others. It's sad But.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Loads on here said he looked a bit porky in the pictures he put up and now he's returned 1.5kg over the upper limit of the weight rules. The club can't just fine him whenever they like without some kind of reason or the PFA would be all over it. I love HBA as much as the next man but if he comes back from holiday overweight he only has himself to blame. Contrast this with Marveaux who apparently spent the summer working with a private trainer to make sure he was in top condition when he returned.

Contrast this with Marveaux who apparently spent the summer working with a private trainer to make sure he was in top condition when he returned. Human biology doesn't work in this way. It's not simple mathematics unfortunately. Returning from holiday 1.5kg overweight is an indicator of absolutely f***-all without intensive investigation and testing which would be a waste of time and counterproductive. There is plenty of time to get in shape for the new season, so they should just get on with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Hatem man, why not just come back at the required weight so they can't do you like this man. You know they're gunning for you anyway. This is just sad really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Ludicrous he's being ostracised to this extent, no one is bidding for him because Pardew has soiled his name at every opportunity. "My cars fucked, doesn't run, never starts first time, brakes don't work, I never use it, who wants to buy it?". If, IF he can outlive Pardew here we may see him back to his best but I'm all but resigned to the fact he probably won't kick another ball for us, devastated.

JJR99 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Why on earth would turning up (slightly) overweight be such a massive problem before pre-season training anyway. Most of pre-season training would be getting the guys back into match fitness surely. Which would lead naturally to him losing that weight plus some.

Rich Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Tiote came back fat as fuck in pre-season a couple of years ago and old Pards was happy to just laugh and joke with him about it then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 On a bit of an unrelated note, I always think Kevin Nolan looks a lot slimmer playing for West Ham than he did for us He did, and it was good to see that he was still capable of getting back into the shape he was when he started out at Bolton. Players do take the piss here, but then that's why it's worth hiring a proper manager. None of the better players seem to respect Pardew, and why would they?
