    That's a staggeringly unanimous endorsement of Ben Arfas ability by the Newcastle fans. Not one word of criticism!! In contrast everyone says Pardew is destroying their club and is crazy for letting their best player go to a rival. Time will tell wether he fits in but there is no question as to his talent from those in the know. I just pray this comes off and we have him and Diamey available for our midfield.

    He's French. It'll end in tears. Score against Newcastle and flounce off the next game when Brucey brings him off for been a ponce.

    Just left their Board. Our very own Patty Is there confounding their posters, With Reassurances That at least Brucey's still a Geordie ,even if Benni Is'nt Newcastle posters seem really despondant.

    Some of the Newcastle poster seem to think that we are getting Ben Arfa on a free.Is that right or is it a loan?

    It's a loan, but he's in his last year, so if we give him a deal for next season we get him for nothing.

    He has 1 year left so in real terms it the same bloody thing. He will either stay at season end or bugger off elsewhere. Either way Newcastle will get naff all unless we have paid a small loan fee.

    This one's cutting it a bit fine. Hopefully it's done and we're just tying up some loose ends.

    He won't be able to play against Newcastle. He's only coming on loan.

    It should be a stroll now. Reports he's 15 minutes away and both teams agreed to the signing.

    If he's only got 1 year left a Newcastle, and we sign him on a season long loan, he can sign for us for free as mentioned above.... this seems like a really poor piece of business from Newcastle's point of view..

    Is it possible that its not a loan deal and we're about to sign him permanently? Or pay Newcastle a loan fee and agree in principle to sign him permanently in January?
