According to the French press he's back in France and will never play for us again. Just reported on Soccer Saturday so no links to article.
Won't be missed if true, bet he will be in the press as usual spouting **** about the manager, seems to be his way, Mr Twat will be licking his lips on here
If true, then that's a loan spot freed up. I'll wait for it to surface before judging it, it could well be bollocks.
What a shame - so much talent wasted. But at least we will have a loan spot in January, and there should be a few hungry young strikers at the big clubs who might be ready for first team action outside the top 7.
Pity. I rather hoped that it would have been a career saving move for him and a season defining one for us. Never mind. And so it goes.
"@PJBuckingham: That report in the French media also claims #hcafc are paying Hatem Ben Arfa just shy of £200,000 a month. Wow."
If true, its a shame it has come to this. such talent, but you have to drag it out of him. in the situation we find ourselves in, we need fighters, of which he aint. Who would everyone pick to use up the loan spot that seemingly looks freed up???
£50k a week. Wow. I'd have thought Newcastle were chipping something in, that's a massive financial commitment for a player that's barely featured for his parent club.
Funnily enough I had him in mind when I wrote my earlier comment. No doubt Middlesbrough will be desperate to extend their loan.
If true, this has more to do with the bad performance at old Trafford, both say there isn't an argument....thought he looked quite good against WBA in cup and against spurs, never mind eh?
