    Its a well known fact that Sunderland think Sess is better than Barfa and vice versa...

    http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/new...y-Alan-Pardew-article862697.html#.TzJ_chfIzsg

    Ben Arfa admittedly hasnt had as many games as Sess but in the games he has played has he proved that he can be consistent and be good enough to boss the Premier League like all Newcastle fans think he can

    Or

    Is Sessegnon the better player as he has done it consistently, he has tore teams apart and can create something out of nothing.

    In the few games I have seen Ben Arfa he has showed moments of class, however has fizzled out of the game as well whereas Sessegnon seems to be in the entire game


    Just wondering, realistically, who fans think is the better player?

    This has been done to death.

    Anyways at the moment I pretty much agree with what you said. Sess seems to be more consistant and I would have in my team over Ben Arfa at the moment.

    On the other hand when Ben Arfa gets it right then he's better than most players in the prem and would walk into any team. Unfortunatley he just doesn't do it enough.

    At the moment, Sessegnon is better.

    Does Ben Arfa have the potential to be better? I think so, but not by much, as Sessegnon is very good.

    The way I see it, Ben Arfa is like Sess at the beginning of the season. Still not quite used to the play of the league yet. If Benny gets a run of games and improves his work rate, I genuinely believe he will be better than Sess is now. But at this moment in time Sess is more consistent so you've got to say he's better

    At present Sess is playing better, but as a Newcastle fan I feel that when Ben Arfa hits his peak he will be better. Do seem to have discussed this quite a lot recently.

    Both great players and potential match winners.

    And it does seem to have been talked about more than once.

    I agree, Sess is better now but Arfa has not had a settled run in the team. Ben arfa was brilliant when he first hit the scene at marseille, he's also a few year younger so has more time to develop.

    The way PSG are throwing money round, I wouldn't be surprised to see a bid for either/both of them in the summer.

    We'll all end up calling them both worse than rotten if they nick-off in the summer! :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Not again!

    Well to be fair it's difficult to give you an opinion on this as Sessegnon has had WAY MORE playing time than Ben Arfa has. I don't even think Ben Arfa has fully recovered from his leg break but once he has I think I can give you a more honest answer.

    Sess wasn't too hot last season and the start of this season (had a shocker against us),however, he has had more time to adjust to the Premiership and style of play and hence is playing really well. So currently it is obv going to be Sess but if you take this from the first day they broke into "world" football i'll think majority would agree that Benny is the better, more exciting player. Unfortunately he may never be the same player he was due to $h!t head De Jong.

    Given that Ben Arfa is still recovering from a horrific injury, surely the more fair question is Sessegnon vs Perch?

    Perch every day of the week for me, no one beats The Enforcer.

    Who is worse Elmohammady or Obertan?

    Well maybe it has been done to death but I didn't give an opinion last time.
    Both player's look very skillfull.
    Both players tend to do a little to much.
    Both players lose the ball/possession when in a good position to pass.
    Both have taken a bit of time to settle.
    Both have an eye for goal.
    Sess looks like he has started to roll his sleeves up and get on with it while HBA seems like a whining, garlic stinking french twat. <laugh>

    Think we'd all agree on that one, even though I'm not Obertan's biggest fan.
