Tiresias Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 That first touch against Stoke I hope he plays for us again but for his sake he should get out and play for a club with a proper manager and enjoy himself. Not right that his talent should be wasted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Barton kept his squad number. Was even getting games up until leaving. http://www.magpieszone.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/21082011_Ryan-Taylor.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Same thing they did with Barton pretty much wasn't it? And Hatem has done far less than Barton ever did. Kind of reminds me of Gullit's treatment of Rob Lee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I suspect Pardew would rather play himself than play Hatem again. If he had any intention of giving him a chance he would be motivating him and getting him involved in preseason. As would be fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relámpago blanco Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Its weird because they could easily find a club for him. I bet alot of managers would take a punt on him. Seems to me theyve said they want him gone and hes refused in the hope pardew is sacked which will hopefully be the case. If Hatem doesn't leave this window I am fairly sure well see him in the side by the end of the season barring another bit of long term sheer luck from the king.

Skeletor Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 They've probably tried to hawk him to various clubs but Ben Arfa doesn't want to leave. Now they're making life difficult for him in the hope that he will give up and leave so they can cash in on every single player we ever sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 If Liverpool or Arsenal had wanted him he'd have been off in a flash imo. Reason he's still here is no top clubs will pay a fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder how much is it he really not wanting to leave, how much is it he's not wanted by many clubs of a decent standard. You'd think some prem club would take a gamble on him but I can't recall any reported interest from any of them (open to correction here) let alone a serious bid. My guess is someone will take him on loan near the end of the window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Best thing we can hope for is a year long lone for him..like Marveaux. Then trust Pardew to fuck it up and get sacked so the new manager will recall him or take a look next summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 As with Bellamy, the manager's actions are reducing the player's value. No doubt we will be wanting to recoup as much of the £5m we can get whilst interested clubs will know we are desperate to get rid and will submit "insulting" bids. As he is in the last year of his contract, it is in the player's interest to sit it out unless he receives an attractive offer and for potential buyers to "monitor" the situation and wait until the end of the window or January. Unless Pardew plays him, his value will only continue to decrease and then Ashley will probably have no choice other than to just cut his losses rather than pay x amount in wages for several months for a player who might end up playing no football for over 12 months.

Cronky Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Its weird because they could easily find a club for him. I bet alot of managers would take a punt on him. Really? On the transfer rumour front, there's recently been something of a deafening silence on that one. The only link I've comes across is a club in Ukraine. Events over the last few months have only sullied the already bad reputation that HBA has built up over his career. The idea that - yet again - Hatem has come across an unsympathetic and callous manager isn't going to be easily swallowed by professionals whose livelihoods depend on getting decisions right.

I'm not sure it is in his best interests to sit on his contract. Not many clubs will want him when he's barely played a game in a year a half.

Zero Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I think they have decided to let him rot in the reserves for the whole season and then walk out on a free. I am not so sure whether he can shine in other major clubs to prove Pardew's wrong. And in that case, the pundit would say Pardew was right, and HBA's career is finished.

Guest Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 So why didn't he spend the summer like Marveaux busting a gut to go back in shape? A lean, trim HBA would have been worth a punt from other clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lean, trim HBA would have been worth a punt from other clubs. Didn't help Marv much. Maybe hr should of, but the season hasn't started yet. He can drop that easily If I can do an emergency cut for my lads holiday, Ben Arfa can definitely get in shape for the season. He's got time still. I think he's probably in full "fuck it" mode though, such a shame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
