Hatem Ben Arfa (now retired?)


Recommended Posts

If he was still here, he'd have stopped putting in any effort by Christmas and you know it!

 

So like the rest of the team, aye?

 

Pretty much. Basically, what I'm trying to say is, if he was still here, it would make literally no difference to our league position.

You honestly don't think he could have won us a game in this wretched run we have?

Just like last time we were in this position and he never turned up. Apart from the crucial equaliser at Loftus Road.

 

If a penalty against a dreadful team is the best example of him 'turning up', then I rest my case.  :coolsmiley:

 

Who won the penalty?

Reckon if he'd had just 20 minutes at the end of every game on this run he'd have at least fashioned a couple of goals/assists out of somewhere, which would make a hell of a difference if it had even got us 1 extra point.

Probably not. If everyone else doesn't give a monkey's then I don't get why the master of not giving a monkey's would be any different. Especially if his time at Hull is anything to go by. Also find it bizarre that people would think players like  Marveaux would have saved us...

The idea that someone with Ben Arfa's goal/assist record per game wouldn't have been worth two more points over the course of an entire season is absolutely laughable.

Probably because Marveaux and Ben Arfa are better footballers than Ryan Taylor and Gouffran, and a team with better football players tend to win more games than others.

Even though players like Marveaux did last time?

Better than anyone managed last weekend against an equally shite QPR team.

 

Seriously, what kind of cocksnogger can't see that even a half-arsed HBA would bring 200% more to the team than fucking slopers like Gouffran, Sameobi or Obertan?

Well his clever assist in the 94th minute against Stoke won us two points, which is what we're currently short of safety. He also set up the only goal late on against QPR at home, there's two more. He set up more goals than anyone else that season.

 

I said players like him of course, Ben Arfa's contribution was also massive relative to the rest.

Come on. This forum has always had an unhealthy obsession with the lad. I admit he scored some excellent goals for us, but was mostly a frustrating hindrance with a bad attitude at every club he's been to. If Colback contributed as much to the club in 13/14 as he did you'd slaughter him. And before anyone starts, don't come out with some rubbish about how I like 'cloggers' and hate flair players. I just don't think Ben Arfa is worth having in the squad (and there are plenty of managers who agree with me).

 

Oh and a lot of you seem really impressed with his penalty against a team even Riviere scored against...

Totally disagree (but I do agree with the cocksnogger thing :-)). A lot of people here seem to rate Cabella and he's not even half the player HBA is/was.

Not going to even argue the point with this guy. HBA single-handedly won us games. We haven't had a player like him since he was f***ed off. No substitute for passion, though, eh?

 

fully agreed. Well said.
