Dave Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 HBA is one of the last players Rafa would ever consider buying. Works hard for the team? No. Good attitude? No. Works hard in training? Apparently not. Let it go guys. Loved him when he was here but this is spot on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Still don't agree with the myth that he didn't work hard for the team when he was out on the pitch. And certainly in comparison to other dross we had out there over the same period. Anyway, that's a whole other thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 The main reason it gets bumped is because our number 10 position is such a big issue for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnufc Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 He's not the answer to that problem though Especially given that he's 30 now, and played the equivalent of 15 games in 18 months (by the time it's January) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 As much as you love his talents, I don't wanna take any risk that may affects Rafa mood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 If he'd buy into Rafa's philosophy imagine him in place of Ayoze. Could see Hughton taking him again at Brighton. Always thought that if any manager could put Ben Arfa straight, it would be Hughton. He seemed to play a big part in the signing, but didn't get the chance to work with him for any length of time.

Tooj Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 He's better than Mahrez imo, would do well there I reckon. He's not any more. He had a much higher ceiling than Mahrez but for various reasons he never got himself there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Mahrez was Ben Arfas ceiling - player of the year talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Only weaknesses in Ben Arfa's game were in his head. Ball hogging, decision making, lack of team ethic and so on. Ability wise he had everything, but you need those other qualities to make the most of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I dunno like, as an individual I've seen Ben Arfa do things Mahrez could only dream of. They're similar players in the sense they run at teams and cut in the from the right, but at his best, Ben Arfa is a far stronger, more explosive & more skillful player and it makes him a cut above imo. Mahrez may be a better team player but that's about it for me. Can't say I watch Leicester every week mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellars Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Agree; Mahrez is a better team player, especially with the style of play that won Leicester the title. But Ben Arfa has far more raw talent and a much higher ceiling. Every game he shows flashes of potential that you would likely never see Mahrez show.

He's 31 in less than 4 months In relation to talks about signing Ben Arfa everyone speaks of him thinking of how he was a few years ago. He's played the equivalent of 11 games in the last 1½ years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
