Hatem Ben Arfa

I miss him at newcastle

 

[Lutece FC]

This guy is incredible. One of the most strange career i've ever seen... From nowhere, with 1 year without football, to the top... Incredible. This night, with 2 goals against Saint-Etienne and a solid performance.

But you have to be very prudent with this guy : he can be the best player of the world during 5/6 matchs and make some shit during the next 10. This topic is a proof. No post before tonight since 2013... Very strange guy...

You should've been here back in the days when the user HBA was around. You two would've made a cute couple.

He probably meant he can look like absolute gold in 5-6 matches, but then be shit during the next 10. That I'd agree with.

Very talented player, but with a pathetic attitude, ego. Injury prone too.

And that's why talent alone is never enough.

Hba: "as good as Messi".
Good times.

Newcastle was supposed to be a top club too. That guy was just insane. I wonder what he says about them now.

Good times. I always think of good ol' HBA, and how he's feeling whenever I watch Newcastle win or lose - which admittedly isn't that often.
I went back through the thread and read up a bit. This guys fervor and conviction was really second to none

As crazy as HBA was, Hatem really is one of the most talented players of the decade, and arguably its biggest flop too because of it. More talent than Benzema and Pogba put together, but no willpower. Seems happy at nice though.

Wow, great goals. Shame he started playing football at the age of 28.

He's on fire this season.

Almost scored the best goal I've ever seen last night (?). If someone has a gif or video post the shit out of it. I can't even emphasise how fluid his movement, change of pace and drag backs are...quite simply jaw-dropping stuff. Messi-level stuff.
