Hatem Ben Arfa

[AlwaladAlBarsha]

I think if he could buy into our system he would be a hit. With his pace, and trickery defenses will not know what to do with him, the key is getting him to buy into our tactics, without him
wanting to out do messi, thats were I see conflict in.

He's definitely at his best when he has the freedom to innovate but it's a bit complicated. His freedom hurts the team's game.
Let's hope he will find creating play enjoyable later on this season. I think the coach might actually interfere and tell him to actually
use his talent instead of the pointless dribbling. But that won't be until Newcastle starts doing bad. Ben Arfa will probably be a much
more complete player next season.

Edit: And whoever said his dribbling is nice, I agree. It looks to easy, like Messi style, nothing fancy but he just moves the ball at
almost perfect times. It's a pleasure to watch.

His freedom has not hurt us yet. It has helped us greatly.

His dribbling is not pointless. It is a creative force for the team and puts us on the attack and takes opposition players out of the game. if he gets fouled they get a yellow card and can't play to their maximum any more or dare tackle him or anyone else in the team for fear of being sent off. It's a + for the team.

He's now starting a season fully fit and looks extremely sharp too. He will hopefully play in more than half of our games in the league this time around and prove what a fantastic player he is to the world.

He's going to have a stellar season.

He's a top class player my friend. I'm sure he will surprise you.

Already seen that one, but I still believe he is just hyped up a little too much. Again, not that he's bad, but he still has to show me he really can step up and be a lethal player. Up till now he just seems a very good dribbler, but there are tons of those.

He's fit and had a full preseason for the first time in 3 years. He only now looks fully recovered from his broken leg. He is actually starting a season from the beginning too. He's going to have a stellar season.

And there aren't tons of good dribblers out there, otherwise we would see this every week from a different player:

Nasri did it in the champions league, from a standing position and without using much pace

Nasri > Ben Arfa

NASRI !!!!
WORLD CLASS! Who else can do that besides Messi and HBA???? Man what a talent. We should sign this guy. He must be one of the best dribblers EVER.

 

[Hatem Ben Arfa]

Nasri has done it once.

Ben Arfa has done it twice! and beat more players

Ben Arfa > Nasri..............sorry.
