Hatem Ben Arfa (now retired?)


Recommended Posts

Too many fish in the PSG pond, deserved the move from his form but should never have gone there. Would still have him back in a flash.

 

:lol: Are you sure about that?

 

:serious:

 

erm, yup?

 

Well, exactly. That's like saying I don't want to get a cancer or something.

 

OK I get you, there's just a fair few of our supporters that genuinely wouldn't purely based on the Pardew school of thought and the media's "difficult" line. There's a few on here fwiw

I can't champion him anymore. I fucking love the man. But what did he expect, going to PSG? Too good an opportunity to pass up, blah blah blah. I dont see how he has the career he's had, receives the adulation he got in particular from Nice, and is still stupid enough to take the move to the big club.

Yup. Should have signed a big contract at Nice, lived in a lovely part of his home country and be loved by the fans. Instead he chased the money and fame, and while at his very best he's good enough for psg, it's what he brings the rest of the time which is questionable. As soon as questions are asked of him he never recovers mentally and just slips away. It would be great to see him battle back and show his quality, but it already sounds like it's over for him there.

 

People joke but you could actually see him back here, he's crazy enough, it's just whether Rafa feels he can get the best out of him or not.

 

Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven.

What an absolute waste of a career.

 

I get what you're saying but i wouldn't call winning 5 league titles and numerous cups in France a wasted career like, in general terms.

 

You're right if you mean he could have had so much more though.

Puel left Nice who was responsible for his great season last year, cannot blame him for going to PSG :lol:

 

Like I said, if your penis was firmly in Pardew's mouth - and therefore you're jilted about the lad - you'll be absolutely loving this. It's a shame but whatever, it's blatantly obvious he was the most talented player we've had in a decade and should have been starting ahead of Ryan Taylor.

 

We're only a few games in.

I dont think it is a matter of Pardewed or not.  I just think he has more than enough talents and chances in his life to achieve something exceptionally great instead of eating shits here and there, no matter what the reason is. If I got just 30% talent of him I think I can be a decent EPL pro already, earning huge money enjoying fame and wags and may already representing England.  Really a waste of talent and career.

Difficult one if a proper football manager in Unai Emery is questioning his fitness.

 

In fairness as good as Emery is he's very cautious and tends to favour a different type of player than what Ben Arfa brings.

 

 

 

As much as I love the bloke, I think we've ran out of excuses. Something's obviously gone on for him not to even make the squads.
