Chelsea has joined Liverpool, Villareal and Milan ( Laughing

) in expressing their interest for Ben Arfa. PSG has made some inquiries too... because Ben Arfa would rather stay in France even if he's not s regular for PSG. Not very fond memories of the UK.

Here's the PSG link from 3 days ago: http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Hatem-ben-arfa-plait-au-psg/653529

Quite a lot of interest for a player that Newcastle couldn't be bothered with...

First video on this page is such a nice shot but 9/10 he should be passing that to the wide player tbh. Whatever works i guess

Hope he stays at Nice and just keeps bossing it with them tbh. PSG are not even a top 20 team in Europe

And to think Hull *bleep* City rejected this guy.

This proves English clubs know their shit

I hope we make a move for him. We desperately need a winger who is good at 1v1 situations.

No room for wingers in your 4-3-1-2

Says more about how stupid Pardew is more than anything tbf.

There have been a lot of flops coming from Ligue 1 to the Premier League in recent times, but Ben Arfa was one that our local rivals should have kept faith in.

It took exactly two games for Mihajlovic to change from a 4-3-1-2 to a 4-3-3. Whoever is our coach next season will realize that the system doesn't work with our current crop of players.

BTW, Ben Arfa can play as a CAM as well :coffee:

by rincon Fri Apr 22, 2016 11:36 am

... and Mihajlovic got sacked. Brocchi is gonna bring Milan to the promised land of the 4-3-1-2.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Apr 22, 2016 11:51 am

He's not a particularly good CAM tbh, he tried too often to dribble out of situations and doesn't create space for himself as well as he might should.

by Casciavit Fri Apr 22, 2016 11:56 am

Still better than anybody else we have Laughing

Fixed imo. hmm

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Apr 22, 2016 1:24 pm

I'd argue they have flopped due to our horrific management more than because they are bad players anyway.

Well some of them are but still Laughing

by Adit Fri Apr 22, 2016 3:21 pm

Should come to greatest league in the world imo. He will fit right in at Valencia or Villarreal.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Apr 22, 2016 3:30 pm

Aren't Valencia dog shit lol? Anyway i think he should stay tbh.

by Adit Fri Apr 22, 2016 3:32 pm

Yeah but that's because they had horrible luck with their coaches. Quality of the squad is good enough for fourth or fifth.

by sportsczy Fri Apr 22, 2016 3:47 pm

He will first go to a team who is in CL... And if that doesn't work out, Europa at the very least. Just for those who are wondering...

Would be better for him to go to Milan than PSG. It is better to finish midtable in Serie A than winning LOL 1 in January and getting kicked out of QFs every year. At least there is unpredictability and hope for Milan next season. PSG is stuck for life as jobber to the stars (:
