I think Gus could get the best out of him. He'll have a worldy wherever he goes next. He could completely change a Stoke or West Hamm for the better. And 3m for potentially a world class talent is peanuts.
Big yes from me. Gone stale up the road and needs a new lease of life free from the dark side. Massive talent and therefore worth the risk IMO. If we could get him for £3M I'd bite their hand off.
According to that report Keys didn`t say Ben Arfa chinned Pardew. He says he heard he had. Big difference.
OK, I've changed my mind, sign him up! On a serious note, HBA is a specialist in my opinion. He specialises in keeping his head his head firmly down while he dribbles a bit, get into trouble, dribbles a bit more, losing the ball again in the process and leaving the team vulnerable to a counter-attack. Missing 2 or 3 promising runs by fellow team-mates, or failing to release the ball in order to maintain posession is an extraordinary talent I think he's turned it into an art form.
