Hatem Ben Arfa (now retired?)


Recommended Posts

People were saying Liverpool would be in for him. It is clear that Ben Arfa has been told he has no future at NUFC and he has been told to find another club. It wouldn't be that difficult for a side who want Ben Arfa to get him (that isn't taking Ben Arfa's wage demands and choice of club/league into account). Ben Arfa has fallen out with every manager he has ever played for. That must be off putting to other clubs.

 

It's obvious Pardew/NUFC want Ben Arfa out. As Pardew isn't going anywhere it is in the interest of all parties for Ben Arfa to move on. He is in the last year of his NUFC contract after all.  It will be interesting to see where he ends up. It wouldn't do him any good staying at NUFC and not playing for a season. I'd rather he left (along with Jonas, Obertan and the like) to be replaced by players Pardew will play.

na rather he stayed tried to get into better shape, then when we are in the relegation zone after a month and the king gets the chop he might get a look in. I think this is his plan but I cant understand why he didn't hire a personal trainer and come back in top shape for the pre season.

Seeing as Marv came back at the right weight and was immediately told to train with the kids, i think Hatem's weight was just bullshit anyways. Pardew has no intention of involving Hatem whatever Hatem did.

Negative stories leaked to press to undermine popular player they want rid of - fans believe it - player sold and hated - guess who wins again?

 

etc.

:thup:

 

It's just a convenient excuse. We were all saying at the end of last season that we'd seen the end of Ben Arfa

agreed that he will never play Ben Arfa again he wouldn't when the squad was in tatters last season rather play Gosling so got no chance now but its annoying that he's gave them that excuse with his weight instead of turning up in top shape and Pardew having to say I wont play him because I am an arrogant  pig-headed piece of shite that holds a grudge.

He's an idiot for coming back overweight.  He's been badly mishandled but there's no good reason for coming back from holiday overweight.  If he had an ounce of sense about him he'd have done what Marveaux did and come back in top condition and they wouldn't have had anything to throw at him.

I'm sure Ben Arfa did return overweight. Why lie about it when NUFC/Pardew want Ben Arfa gone anyway? He could have come back fighting fit and they'd still want him gone. I'd rather he left and was replaced. He isn't going to play and he won't be getting a new contract. Either way he'll be gone in a year at the latest.
