Hatem Ben Arfa

[Rashid]

This young lad from Lyon is probably on of the best dribblers in Europe and definitely has the potential to be the next Ronaldo. He has superb technique, can play the old fashioned winger or cut inside.

 

His technically brilliant and Arsenal are close to agreeing a bargain £11m for him. I think he is worth £15m plus. Lyon love money and to haggle so we should guzump them otherwise we will be crying in 2 years time because he will be big time.

 

Before anyone cries about us not having money, maybe we could use the Barry and Milner money, or sell Crouch, Riise etc to raise it?

 

£11m? What a bargain.

[Woo]

Would be a great signing for £11m like, especially when you think valencia at wigan is rated at £10m. But my first choice is still silva from valencia.

 

Plus he would flourish under wenger IMO, so would probably choose arsenal over us due to the french connection. Not saying he wouldnt do well at us but wenger does have a great talent at bringing younger players through.

[Unrighteous]

I'd take Ben Arfa if Rafa fancied him.

I think we need two mate, I'd sign Villa and Ben Arfa... and for me that would be enough for the whole summer. Ben Arfa is simply brilliant and I'd hate Wenger to get him...

Could be hes not interested in a move to Liverpool and wants to go to Arsenal.

[StevieH]

He would probably be more tempted to playing with French players and under a French manager at Arsenal, just as Torres was attracted to Liverpool primarily because of our Spanish links.

[MLB]

For £11 million it'd be rude not to, really.

[05 Milan]

Let Wenger develop him, and we'll take him when he explodes. They are a selling club after all.

[Rashid]

He could well be tempted by Arsenal but nobody fucks with the Lyon chairman when it comes to money. If we offer more, we get him, just like Babel who also wanted to go to Arsenal as his best mate is there.

[05 Milan]

- Arfa? Arfa? Don't fucking bark at me Rawfa, or I'll have you out on your ass by tomorrow!

[Crazyhorse7778]

Would be a great signing at that price, unbelievably greedy, but that could be worked on.

[Joe Strummer]

It's all hype for me. He isn't even a first choice currently for Lyon. All those going on about him are Footy Manager players as he's a wonderkid on that.

[Rashid]

Errm so you didn't see him come on against United?

[Spy Bee]

I've never heard of him. So he must be shit. Sign him anyway. Just for the craic.

[Red Nick]

I'd take Ben Arfa if Rafa fancied him.

 

Id take him even if Rafa dosent fancy him as I understand Kuyt is more to Rafa´s fancy.

 

Seriously we should sign him and at 11m it makes Babel look ridiculously expensive

 

Id defo swap Babel for him

 

Anyway I am not going to let threads like these upset me

[Guest TK-421]

Never seen him play.

[Joe Strummer]

Yes I watched both games and apart from a few nice touches here and there I saw nothing that made him stand out. Benzema is the talent in that Lyon side. Ben Arfa may well be a great player soon but he also has attitude problems and at the price don't think he's worth the risk.

[billybonzo]

The "new" Le tallec ?

[Falla]

Nothing special. As someone as already said, it's mostly hype.

[navbasi]

My mate watches a lot of French football and he rates him. I value is opinion when it comes to French footi so it may look like Arsenal have a bargain on their hands.. personally I haven't seen him play so can't pass judgement on the lad..

[Spy Bee]

Errm so you didn't see him come on against United?

 

Which would imply that he was a sub and thus not first choice.

[JoeyKop]

I'd rather Menez if we were looking at young french attacker in budget range.

[Alonso]

We dont have the money, so we will have to make do with Milner etc.

Until the two american cunts fuck off.

[Cardie]

Could you have not posted this without the milner/Barry dig?

[Alonso]

Sorry mate no dig intended, its a fact that we need to realise.
