Honestly can't see why PSG would want him, i think he's putting himself on a pedestal that he shouldn't be on.
He hasn't done a thing, all he's said is it's his dream club. He's not said that he's planning to move there, only that it would be great to play with them.
1 proven top EPL player out and 2 totally unproven ones in. Fair play if that's put you at ease chum.
This is really old news. When we signed him he said he wanted to play for his boyhood team one day and nothing has changed. Can't blame him as that's what I'd do and that's what a lot of players do.

Simon Bird @simonbirdmirror Ben arfa on French radio tonight: :" If there's no ambition at Newcastle then maybe I should leave at the end of the season" ----- Ooops!
Nothing wrong with that. It's only right he should want a sign if ambition. Lads said nothing wrong in my book.
His timing is lousy though Jarra. Why say this now, after Ba has gone and maybe Colocinni this week too. Could he not have just shut up and made this known for the summer? I think there is a problem behind the scenes at your club mate with all this unrest, players leaving and maybe Remy now off to QPR (nufc are a far bigger club than them). Pardew is losing the dressing room. If a player said this in an interview for us, I reckon O'Neill would bring it to an end very swiftly. Discipline is everything in a working environment. Are you not just a tad concerned by this interview, right at this time?
Not really. You can look at situations in different perspectives. We just signed another French international in debuchy. Being the best mate if cabaye, if there were that much goin on behind the scenes then I'm pretty sure debuchy would I got the inside track before he signed. Ben arfa is one if these characters who have a reputation for being a bit of a hot head and hard to handle. He's never given us an ounce of trouble in the past. He's mentioned his boy hood club and would love to play for them. That's fair play. Every player in our squad is for sale at the right price.
It's clear he's gone for money, but Ba off, Colo wanting to be off from Toon, and M'Vila, Odemwingie, Julio Cesar, Taarabt and less than 3 games the gap, with the London thing, can't be discredited either. There's summat up at your place mate, we'll find out soon enough I'm sure.
That goes for EVERY club mate. I definatey think there is more to all these stories than first meets the eye. Pardew isnt big enough or strong enough within the club (its so obvious he is a puppet for Ashley) and I think the players see that as well. MoN is still governed and restricted by Short as the owner but if he was treated as shabbily as Ashley treats Pardew he'd simply walk away. There would be a long list of suitors in the top flight. Pardew on the other hand wouldn't walk into another job as high profile as Newcastle in the rest of his life, so he is happy to take it up the arse week in week out. Players see that difference.
I remember feeling gutted last season when we just missed out on gervinhio. Well he's no big loss. Not all players will be good signings. Personally I would of liked us to sign remy, then again I just want us to sign a striker period. Time will tell if he would of been a good signing for us.
Pardew is unquestionably managing the biggest club he ever will. Indeed, he is managing a club with size and stature way, way above his level, he is a very lucky man. A great season due to phenomenal scouting doesn't change this. Jarra, There's better than Remy about mate, he has been ****e since last December, hence no Spurs, Chelsea, Liverpool etc interest that was there before. You can have Ji for £4million.
