Seems he has got his Mojo back, scored 6 in 8 games for Nice.

Iv been watching him all season on BT Sport, every goal has been world class , he has got it back big time , happy to see him enjoying his football again , he is like the French Gazza, happy on the pitch , grumpy as hell if he isn't
Another attacking player who looks good everywhere but here.
I've said before, probably on this thread, that Ben Arfa is possibly the most unplayable footballer I've ever seen live.
It's a real pity that it didn't work out for us with him.
But you need to set your team up around him and SB would never do that.

add Huddlestone, Tom Ince, Robertson to the list of players that go backwards with Bruce as manager - the guy stifles creativity - he really needs to **** off
Bruce certainly seems to have some issues with generating attacking football, but Ben Arfa was a ****er, he made Bullard look committed.
Bruce told us that but he talks bollocks. Only weeks earlier he'd said how well Ben Arfa was training and getting fit.
Ben Arfa at Man United away was the worst piss-take I've ever seen from a City player, he couldn't give a ****, he might as well have ignored the game and stood in front of the fans flicking the v's at them.
Not surprised given the stupid way he was told to play. He's an attacking player not a defender.
He's a professional, if Bruce put him in goal I'd still expect 100% from him.
He was supposed to be playing behind Jelavic in a 4-4-1-1 in that game, but he decided not to play at all.
Shocking really, doesn't matter if Bruce was mishandling him to do that is to laugh at the fans who come to watch
I remember the game but I'm sure if he hadn't been pulled after half an hour and Bruce moaned about him afterwards we wouldn't even remember his performance or lack thereof. We were **** that game but I didn't particularly think he was that terrible before he went off.
I seriously think our memories of games and players are retrospectively affected by stuff like Bruce making an example of him.
You liked Okocha right? He wasn't a big trier.
My opinion of that player in that game hasn't changed from when I was sat at the game, he was quite rightly pulled after 35 minutes and never played for us again, I might not agree with many of Bruce's decision, but I fully back that one.
Okocha didn't track back, but he never looked like he didn't give a ****.
