LRD Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Preseason or not, he's a free agent so he can sign past the windows anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I thought he'd have sorted out a club by now. He's had a long time to arrange it. You'd think he'd want to get settled and up to speed as quickly as possible. He's had a year not playing. Either he's mulling over several options or he hasn't had interest from clubs he wants to join. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmonkey Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Man, we should just sign him. The hell do we have to lose. Probably declined a bit, but still, Kenedy and Ben Arfa in the same team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 A fat, out of breath HBA running down the right flank for a Rafa-managed NUFC would still have me by a plane ticket sharpish to the next game. Remember, Pardew alienated him from us. #NeverForget Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Man, we should just sign him. The hell do we have to lose. Like most here, I love Hatem unconditionally, but if he was to come back I have a feeling there would be Ewing in Seattle/Iverson's return to Philadelphia levels of sadness involved. Whatever his next club is, I am sure that Ben Arfa will either dominate instantly or just be a fat, useless, petulant waste of time. Everything in between seems unlikely.

Odear Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 He’d give Rafa cold sweats at night. I’m not sure there’s a modern game manager out there who could harness his talent. King Kev and SBR would have done just fine though.. Best XI (1990-2018) ? Given Barton Woodgate Albert Enrique Ben Arfa Cabaye Speed Ginola Cole Shearer Subs: Pav, Lascelles, Lee, Beresford, Robert, Ferdinand, Beardsley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 In terms of what they actually did for us, I'd be having Nobby and his trumpet on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Beardsley was a number 10 which we haven't played in a long time so hard to gauge formation. But he gets in every time for me and the other players fit the formation around him and Shearer. Never know if Beardsley could play in a front 3 with Shearer up top. Probably not Hatem was best in a front 3 on the right so he'd miss out imo. Couldn't play on the side of a midfield 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I'd have Coloccini in his prime ahead of Lascelles, such a incredibly classy defender when he was at his best here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Given Debuchy Enrique Woodgate Coloccini Solano Robert Cabaye Lee Beardsley Shearer 4-4-1-1 formation. Enrique’s defensive ability to cover Robert not getting back over half way, Debuchy to provide some legs for Solano on the overlap...drool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
