Hatem Ben Arfa (now retired?)


Recommended Posts

Shouldn't that have made him more inclined to value the short window of opportunity he has as a professional footballer?

 

Plenty have come back stronger and more appreciative of their careers because of it. We've seen the opposite of Ben Arfa.

How so? When he came back he got his head down, worked hard and did what he was told. In fact weren't his two wonder goals post injury? And indeed the best football we've seen under Pardew?

Nah, he's gonna show you, Ste.  He's gonna get a deal at a top euro club and eclipse Ronaldo and Messi.  He'll leave us and we'll look and wonder why we ever let him go.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or he might go to Turkey with Shola.

Which is why his injury can't really be factored in. He's played the best football of his career post-injury.

He's also rumoured to have punched as many managers as he's scored wonder goals post injury. Hardly a beacon of professionalism/doing what he's told.

While at the same time the two clubs he's played for have played some of the most negative football the league has ever seen.

It's clear he has issues and is never going to reach his potential, which is in part down to himself. Matters have been made worse due to the fact he's been managed by two of England's finest*. Would've loved nothing more than to see him perform or even play regularly for us, for which I blame pardew mainly, but I don't see the need to defend him to the hilt just because he's been fucked around by pardew.

His stock is obviously incredibly low at the moment so probably not. You're aware of that like.

 

Exactly. Proper lifting patter.
