Hatem Ben Arfa (still a free agent)


Recommended Posts

Was Ben Arfa's ceiling as high as Mahrez 15/16? Mahrez did to the Premier League (and won the twatting thing) what Ben Arfa did with Nice.

 

Hmm.... okay, dude. Keeping kidding yourself about that one.

 

PFA Player of the Year, 17 goals, 11 assists...if Ben Arfa had achieved that in 11/12 we might have won the league ourselves. ;)

Suggesting Mahrez is better in this temple of Ben Arfa should be punishable by death imo.

 

If Ben Arfa played for manager who had more tactically to him and we didn't just play magic ball he'd have scored more and done more. Recall he had to wait out Obertan and Ameobi at wing ffs :lol:

I doubt we'll ever see another player at this club with as much talent as Ben Arfa, unless we get taken over and are allowed to spend crazy money on whoever.

 

I'm not saying he's the best we've ever had - because he obviously definitely isn't - but he'll be the last of the proper mint ones until things change dramatically. He was simply that good; cracking left peg, cracking right peg, good strength and balance, good vision, could thread a pass, quick-off-the-mark, could put the best defenders on their arses. He had absolutely everything apart from the required temperament or manager.

 

Wouldn't want to see him back in the Premier League, personally. It'd hurt to see him succeed with anyone else.

Probably only about 5 players on the planet right now with his ability ......................nee graft tho, he needs to dig 2 tonnes of coal in a 10 hour shift before he plays 90 mins for English jornos to respect him.
