What do people think to fat HBA? Injury prone and now piling on weight. Reminiscent of Ronaldo. (Brazilian)
I think its probab;y natural.
If he's not training/playing he will put wieght on, Hamstring injuries usually mean no physical activity.
I expect he will be fit by the end of the season, and start an early pre season to catch back up with the rest of the squad before main pre season begins.
BTW I cannot see him being sold because the fee we would demand I suspect would be 10m at least. and I cannot see anyone taking that sort of risk on someone who has been injured this much this season. Probably more likely to go next Jan if ever.
Sounds like a typical media witch hunt, He can put on weight while he is out injured for all I care, his season is over anyway.
So long as he is back next season doing what he does best, I am not bothered.
There may be a silver lining to that little cloud too, it will put other clubs of bidding for him, and I think we can all agree that he is our most devastating player. He puts the fear of God into other teams.
Players with speed and flare like ben arfa are never the same once they get hamstring injuries look at Michael owen guy was never the same
''Players with speed and flare like ben arfa are never the same once they get hamstring injuries look at Michael owen guy was never the same''
One example, One! in the whole sport of football?
It was not one injury that ruined Owen, it was 'all' the injuries that ruined Owen, and there were many of them.
And to add to the point, Owen's game was all about his speed, he was never a great dribbler, he was not an assassin shooting from outside the box. Without that extra yard of pace Owen was pretty much useless.
How you can relate Owen to Ben Arfa is way over my head, they are in not similar in anyway.
If you were going to compare a player to Owen it would be Walcott.
Not comparing owen to ben arfa what i'm saying players whos game rely on speed are never the same once hamstring goes if you have pulled one its bad enough
The injury that did Owen was a knee ligament. Most players tweek a hamstring without it ever being too serious.
So what your saying is HBA has the Albert Luque syndrome?
He tore his hamstring when he was with us and he was never the same again. Apparently he didn't even rare run his fastest after he did it, just in case he did the same again.
I would not say that Ben Arfa is mind blowing fast anyway.
Ben Arfa can beat players by turning them inside out.
He has never been a player to knock the ball past someone and run like a greyhound for it.

^ Are you crazy? We probably paid close to that for him, and that was a bargain because he had a broken leg at the time.
It would take over 20 million as a starting bid for Ashley to even take a call.
LMAO at;;]]; 10 million.
20 mill give ye head a shake ye wouldn't get 10 for him its like the pre season crack after last seasons over achievement 20 plus for tiote wouldn't get 5 cabaye might get 6 or 7 cisse ye would make a loss even thou krull not been outstanding ye might get 7 or 8
We paid 2 million for him. (Bargain much?!)

^ You Sunderland fans are terrible at a wind up job.
Surely you can do better than that?
