Hatem Ben Arfa on loan to Birmingham!?

Surely we can come in and offer him a better deal on loan here?? What a player he is, would destroy the championship, he's way too good to be playing outside of the PL

Sky Sports sources understand that there is no chance of Hatem Ben Arfa going on loan to Birmingham. The Newcastle attacker is reportedly attracting a lot of interest but he is not keen to play in the Championship.

Thought so!

Overweight and with attitude/commitment problems, on paper people will say he'll be great for the Champ but don't think he'd like the physicality of it, there's a reason he's fallen out of favour despite his obvious talent.
