Craig 6321 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 He's said previously he's happy at the club and would only leave if a bigger team came along with a concrete offer and a starting role. That and he'd be f*cking expensive given his reputation and ability. Bit of a non story tbh. Personally I think it's an attempt by him to firmly put himself on their radar.

Christmas Tree 4003 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I dont think he needs to be on any ones radar, he needs to consistently effect the outcome of games if he wants a big move to a CL team, particularly in France. They all know his past antics and wont splash big money for a couple of wonder goals a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13915 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Besides - it's clear to see Ben Arfa offers a lot more than that. I'd love to have CT tell us about Ben Arfa's ''past antics'' by the way - he made his name in a Champions League team. He'll go and when he does I'm doubtful I'll see many better players at Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13915 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Get him fit & on the pitch - in a reasonable system & yes - he can. Hoof the ball past him he can't. Pardew managed him perfectly last season - instilled a desire into him over a period of time & when he started playing properly he was enjoying every second of it - and when that happens you don't want to be an opposition player - regardless of supposed quality - like Steven Gerrard put on his his arse like a smacked DJ. He could get in any squad in the world - put him in Spain and I reckon he'd get 20 a season and probably the same in assists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Think it's a bit of a non-starter tbh. Even though he has shown he's world class here, PSG are more likely to go for more fashionable/bigger name players with money being no object to them. Plus its just the player declaring he'd one day like to go there, if it was PSG declaring there interest in him then I'd start to worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6321 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I reckon he's definitely trying to engineer a move away from us. Probably dis-illusioned by the Ba and Coloccini situations.

Holden McGroin 5059 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 True but we should have shown some ambition in the summer. It would have made a world of a difference. All he i asking for is a bit of ambition. We have zero with Cashley in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sniffer 0 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Maybe he should work on his fitness and shut the fuck up. If he wasn't made of balsa and was more consistent, we might not be in this position. On his day he is unplayable, but he needs to string a long run of games together at a consistent level to be considered a top player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
