Ben Arfa

Leaving PSG on a free in the summer - hasn't played a competitive game since April 2017 and that was Cup game.

What a waste of a career. Great talent but not enough desire to really get to the top. I did like him when he was here, but also understood the frustration with him at the time - didn't show up fit and wasn't giving it a go in training if I remember correctly.

31 years old now. I think he'll end up in a smaller club in the Ligue 1 and fade away.

Or a newly promoted side in prem that want a bit of razzle dazzle?

Perhaps, but in that case - if I had a say - I'd make him an impact player.

I’d love him back when on the ball anything can happen amazing flair player

But unfortunately he’s exactly the type of player Rafa hates, his work rate isn’t there as well as that he plays for himself and not the team
He would be sulking in no time

I think he would jump at the chance to come back here though

I spent best part of 3 yrs waiting for him to be fit enough to kick on.

the same with Marveaux, Siem De Jong and Aarons...

Ben Arfa was capable of so much more, but whether we like it or not, players like Perez are far more effective. (more goals and more games for little or no investment) while we are stuck in the Ashley way of doing things we simply cannot afford luxury players.

sad but true!

Monumental waste of talent. No effort, no work ethic, not a team player. Nowt but a moody trouble maker that sows disharmony in a squad. Something wrong with him, his ego gets in his own way.

Steer well clear
