Hatem Ben Arfa has risked troubling Newcastle boss Alan Pardew by talking up his hopes of a future move to Paris Saint-Germain. The forward is back in France recovering from a hamstring injury that is expected to keep him out for another month. He insisted preserving Newcastle's Premier League status remained his priority but said a return to Ligue 1 with the club he supported as a boy would fulfill a "childhood dream". "I am under contract with Newcastle and I'm fine," the former Marseille and Lyon player told Le Parisien. "First, I must save my club. I only think of that. Help my team and my coach, with whom I get along great. We really want to fight for him. "The fans are great too. Once we have saved the club, you never know. To sign for PSG would be a childhood dream. If there is a proposal, I will study it with interest. "If there is a proposal. The 'if' is important. PSG still lives in my heart. Playing there would be a wonderful gift." Newcastle languish two points above the drop zone after just two wins from their last 10 league games.
Ba, Ben Arfa, Colo and now rumours of teams in Italy wanting Santon back! You couldn't make this **** up
What's the saying? Its all about timing. He couldn't have gone public at a worse time for his club. Stinks of agents feeding him that. So funny and if I was one of them I would be so angry with the little turd.
If we lose players like Ba, but bring in players like Remy and Debuchy, then I'm very optmistic about our future
Bit of a non story chaps. All Parisians long to play for PSG. There is a strong affinity to them (it bit me and I only lived in Paris for two years!!!). He also stated he would not leave this season at the very least if PSG came in for him. He is happy here.
