SEMTEX Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I'm wondering what relevance "the transfer window" has to a player who is going to be without a club, who would potentially be joining the MLS. The only relevance I can see is how it shows up the original post for being totally fabricated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 21:21 Ben Arfa to find home in MLS? According to the Daily Mail, Hatem Ben Arfa could possibly join an MLS club in the few remaining hours of the transfer window. source: www.getfootballnewsfrance.com 6 months man he'd destroy that league like. I just e-mailed my ticket rep and said tell Phil Rawlins to get it done, if he does, I'm buying 2 club seats today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Aren't the MLS still dictated by Fifa rules? If he can simply just become a free agent and do that, bypassing the Fifa club rule, then it is a no brainer for him to join an MLS team for the next 6 months. He will get his confidence back, live a great lifestyle and hopefully get the chance to return to Europe at the end.. if he wants to. God knows who would have the money to take him though.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Nice managed it, maybe he'd take a pay cut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Nice managed it, maybe he'd take a pay cut. Sorry, meant the 3 club rule. Most of the bigger clubs are maxed out on DP's, there is probably a way around it though. Id expect the MLS would probably take a good whack of the wage to get him to the league.

Deuce Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Yeah it's that simple for sure You are one of my favourite posters on here you know that but it really is that simple. He has a choice, grow the fuck up get on with it or flounce off like a cry baby and just give up. If he just quits all he succeeds in doing is proving his army of doubters right. ] What if he wants to quit football? It's not that simple at all, you've no idea what he's thinking about, that's how you view it, thats up to you. he's a different person to you. this post was so... http://cdn.meme.am/instances/500x/58745736.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micah Richards can join someone else because the Community Shield was classed as last season, so I'm guessing as far as FIFA are concerned, the MLS will be classed as a new season too for when it starts again?

wyn davies Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Hate seeing players who have talent then cock it up, when you think of those less talented trying their damndest to get somewhere. I know he's no Best sure he was the same age as Hatem when he called it a day only to return couple years later when past his prime, another wasted talent.

Jack Flash Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 "In the back of his mind there is the possibility to quit," Jean-Jacques Bertrand told Infosport Plus TV.

Heron Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Going to get flack for this comment but: Grow up Hatem man, enjoy your 6 month holiday and prove all those doubters wrong, don't just flounce off like a cry baby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Ben Arfa – who was released by Newcastle before signing for Nice earlier this month - is expected to make an announcement on Tuesday regarding his future. However, Sportsmail understands that a move to MLS remains a possibility for Ben Arfa given that their 2015 season starts in March. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
