Hatem Ben Arfa (now retired?)


Recommended Posts

I think it's a fair opinion to have. He was arguably or best player and should have been in the team every single week - but s*** happened and the guy is clearly tapped. Like I said, I'd welcome him back with open arms and probably chuck him straight in the side, but I get a feeling that the culmination of events could well have completely f***ed him.

You just like Steve Bruce yorkie

 

I do tbf.

 

:lol:

 

Yorkie loves Ben Arfa as much as anyone I know, is just worried this has gone beyond repair (fair enough).

 

:thup: I don't blame the player for what happened to him here.

Got to think he is in with a chance of returning. Looks like we are getting a brand new manager. Unlikely the new manager won't be giving everyone a clean slate. Nothing to lose by at least giving him til the end of January. Could Always ship him out after that.

Looks like it. If he does get one last chance he had better take it.

If he comes into the fold, works hard and takes his chances then fair enough, welcome him back with open arms. Not something I lose sleep over, if he's already played his last game for us then okay.

Quotes from Carver in March from the Telegraph

 

Newcastle’s France international has been on compassionate leave due to his mother’s ill health. Thankfully she is on the mend, though the time he has spent absent from training restricted Ben Arfa to a cameo role.

 

That was still ample time to make a telling contribution, the inconsistent midfielder having benefited from a heart-to heart with Carver, who used the experience of recently losing his father to positive effect.

 

“You’ve got to cuddle him,” Carver insisted. “You’ve got to get inside Hatem’s head. He’s a nice guy and we had a real conversation about family life, nothing to do with football. That brought us closer.”

 

Dunno if anything has changed in terms of the two of them, but at least back then he seemed to be on Ben Arfa's side

I'd love this to happen.

 

If he really did fall out with a few players like Colo and Blob then you'd have though they probably won't want to risk disrupting squad harmony by letting him back. Just hope it was more Pardew lies and it didn't really happen but TheGuv did get it from the Blobby horse's mouth that there were some issues.

Imagine if he scored the winner against Palace....

And celebrated like Suarez in front of The King.

or just celebrates like suarez and bites him in the juggler.

 

He'll score and run past Pardew, only to be headbutted.
