    He's chucking away a fortune. Playing in France or the rumoured Brazil will be poverty pay in comparison. What a fool.

    All because he switched off when tracking a runner. How many times did Elmo do that last season? Never saw him getting punished for it.

    This really is abhorrent man managing by Steve Bruce, what a ****ing farce.

    Clubs don't pay in French. They pay in fiat currency.

    I don't speak French so I've probably put the wrong word.

    Have things changed? The best players from France no longer leave to get the best pay?

    Well, as a whole the premier league does pay more than any, but a lot of clubs in France and Brazil can still afford mighty wages for the odd player. They just don't have half a squad on 50k a week like we do over here.

    Only Paris St Germain can "keep" players here.

    Lyon have an top academy and sell on the talent although Yohan Gourcoff is a superstar who might have been. Often injured he's recently making a sustained comeback.

    Marseille are big in France but can't compete abroad.

    Based on available evidence I agree, but my faith in Bruce makes me think there must be more to it than meets the eye.

    The film is to be called "Ma Lutte".. "My Struggle", in it he's giving advice to kids on hard work and dedication if you want to make it as a top level pro footballer

    Could never see how he would fit in a 352, and we don't play 442 often enough to make him anything but a peripheral presence. Not sure Ben Arfa is solely to blame for this; more our haphazard summer recruitment which has left us with an unbalanced squad with seemingly no set tactics/formation in mind.
