    This lad looks well fat. With his supposed attitude off the pitch too I’d say we shouldn’t pay over the odds for his services in the summer.

    I say we shouldn’t pay never mind over the odds. Not been impressed by him.

    Yeah using the Ben Arfa scales I'd say he's at about 70% Ben Arfa.

    Most footballers report back at around 40% Ben Arfa and most humans cannot survive once they get to about 85% Ben Arfa.

    If he was 10% of Ben Arfa we'd be lucky

    Ability wise aye. Reporting back for football after time off though, managers probably felt they had to play him or he'd have them frozen in carbonite.

    If he was 1% of HBA on a bad day, we'd be very lucky.

    Tbh he doesn't look remotely fat!

    If he wasn't a footballer no one would say that.

    Ben Arfa was generally speaking a poor player. That is why pretty soon no one was willing to hire him. Talent coming out of both ears, obviously, but not enough between the ears to make him worthwhile.

    I'm skinny AF, but if I was his size I certainly wouldn't give a ****. His waist is perfectly normal size, he's just got a lot of chest muscle.

    I've heard he's considering changing sport to sumo wrestling.

    Far more suited to that. Maybe that is why he is a moody sod and all he wants to do is play with other fatties in nappies

    One of the few players to bring a smile onto fans faces and light up the stadium in the Ashley era.
    That's good enough for me.

    I suspect that you like him really, but, you just won't admit it to yourself.
    Open your heart to him and feel the love like many others....<ok>

    Some (okay, two) of my favourite toon memories were gifts from HBA. When he could be arsed, god could he play. So could Kluivert. On average, though, they were below average.

    Benny was a fabulous player and as someone has said had talent to get fans on the edge of their seats. Not many players can do that.

    You are right though when you say he didn’t have enough between his ears but that made him a poor team player not a poor footballer.

    That is probably a better way of putting it, yes.
