Is he back from compassionate leave yet? Hope he's back for Sunday would be a good game for him against Spurs who aren't the best at closing down and the big pitch at SJP.
I'm not sure. I just heard he's visiting family in Tunisia. I think he should be back now though as it was last week when we let him go.
He was allowed to go to Tunisia last week because a family member was ill. I'm assuming he'll be back soon to prepare for the Spurs game. http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/sport-columnists/black-white/bad_news_for_ben_arfa_1_3840410
Should be back and i'll be surprised if he doesn't start, i think he would tear their full-backs apart.
Youâre just so good to be true i cant take my eyes off of you you must have Messiâs sweet touch but I thank God youâre not Dutch because one day youâll be back after de Jong gets the sack then weâll all sing along to our favourite song da da da da da dada da da da da da da dada da da da da da da dada da da da da da da daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa hatem Ben Arfa â I love the way you play hatem Ben Arfa â You really make my day hatem Ben Arfa â Iâm gro-wing a beard too hatem Ben Arfa â and when you take them on hatem Ben Arfa â they donât even know youâre gone hatem Ben Arfa â Youâre a Mag through and through
Spurs is the kind of team that Ben Arfa would be best against. a team who actually try and play football, not bully the other team into submission
Depends who else is availible. I'd guess if Ben Arfa does start then it'll either be in place of Best or Obertan
