StevO Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I'd be made up if we got him. I think he can be hit and miss, but then so can Barkley, McGeady and Mirallas, betweent four of them if two or three turn up on match day we'd be fine. He seems like a player who needs to be told how good he is to stay on top of his game, Roberto is the master at saying how good players are. I would be really excited to see him here.

Stuie Hayllor Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Ben Arfa would be a class signing. If handled correctly he can be a seriously talent and a long term replacement for Pienaar. Only concern is his wages. Isn't he one of NUFC's highest paid players? Still 2 seasons ago he was their best player - for the fee's being mention he must be worth enquiring about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think his exclusion is down to ability, its a supposed attitude problem which, if Pardew was your manager, is perfectly understandable. markjazzbassist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with this chap. Ben Arfa needs to be rolled on his back, have his bellly rubbed and told he's a good kitty. If I played under Pardew, I'd probably turn into a violent offender.

EFC-Paul Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) He's far from lazy I can see where your coming from but prior to his injury and all the political shite with Pardew he worked his socks off many a time he was the main and at times the only driving force in that Newcastle side He's only excluded due to both Pardew being a clueless stubborn tit and admittedly his own attitude which under most other managers would put me right off but considering it's that wolly it's pretty understandable for the most part Ability wise on his day he's up there with the best in this league and if he got to the form prior to his leg break which is more than possible the lads more than worth a gamble A £20m player in consistent form for under £4m and his wages according to the rags are £50k a week makes it a no brainer for me Imagine this lad Mirallas Barkley McGeady and Co providing Lukaku...

markjazzbassist Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 yes please. Miguel Cotto has been wanting this one for a while now, I'm with him. Class player and with RM giving him confidence and the right managerial touches, he could turn into something special. that is very cheap for a class player. get him in RM!

Steve_E Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Definitely worth the gamble it it's just £1.5m. If he plays up to his level he would be our best winger imo, absolute top class, if he has a negative attitude we tell him he doesn't have to show up anymore and move on.

Sibdane Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 For 1.5 or 3mil or even 5mil, he's a goer. Like StevO said above, he's in the same level as Barkley, Mirallas, and McGeady when it comes to not showing up sometimes; but on his day he is a beast!

Shukes Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I can remember him coming on as a sub a few seasons ago and changing the game against us. If anyone can get the best from a player like him its RM. 3 to 5m? absolute steal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FC Clutch Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Good player but just cant see it. We like to give big wages out when somebody has proven themselves for us. Loan for me if the geordies pay half his wages Ideally, but I figure they'd have buyers come in and do the deal sooner which would be preferable to them. Linked with Lyon as well and his agent said he's interested. Could just be trying to stir interest, but it is an outlet for him to go back home. Would love to see us get him, but I doubt we will.

Cornish Steve Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Now we have a Mohammed and a Christian on the team, maybe we should be looking for a Buddha Smith? Personally, I'm not a big fan of Ben Arfa, mainly because his attitude leaves something to be desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
