"Yes buy him! exactly what we need in terms of quality, injured a bit but we have got assiadi, downing and sterling. Buy Him!!!!"

"I don't think a signing like this would be considered a ''priority signing'' although it would be more of a ''bulking up the squad with relative experience signing''. We have an ace card in that Newcastle want Andy Carroll, they don't have the cash to buy him out-right. Bargaining can be done."

"no!"

"Didn't Ben Arfa fail a medical at LFC before nipping across the Pennines to try his luck at NUFC? He seems to be very injury prone, and has far from lived up to expectations this season when he has played. Think his agent is talking this one up."

"A very talented player, but has been unlucky with injuries."

"Ben Arfa and Senchez play the same role so I wonder will we get any of them knowing the way things go now we will drag our heels in and then some other club will snatch them."

"What about the mighty Hulk He would be worth a punt??"

"Anyone commenting on Ben Arfa's time out with injuries shouldn't be worried.Agger was out a hell of a lot til the start of this season.G.Bale had an awful injury record ubtil the start of last season.Unfortunately some players have "groups" of injuries but eventually get through them."

"Interesting prospect....."

"if we cant get ben arfa i would get dries mertens who imo is better than hazard he certainly had a better euros than hazard and he would be a lot cheaper than ben arfa at around 10-12m"

"Where would he fit in?!"

"remember this is newcastle so bound to be overpriced walk away now better young european players. LFC YNWA "

"Nope - not a luxury. You can't have too many players of his calibre. He could fill several advanced roles with near-equal ease. Bring him in."

"PLEASE sign him!!! We need players with great technique like Ben Arfa and Honda! Please sign De Vrij too. With these 3 players on top of the current squad we could finally challenge for the le..."

"Maybe Mr Hulk can be considered as well!"

"Not a 'priority singing' but interesting indeed! He may fit quite handsomely into the team by the speed of his playing."

"midfield are enough. We need keeper and defender."

"Over the next 2-3 transfer windows I'd like to see us build from back to front. 2 CB's, cover at LB, a strong, quality CM, another goalscorer and possibly another flair player, in that order. Ben Arfa might just about fit the latter category but it's not the priority for me, especially given his injury record and the fact the Geordies play hardball over fees - even if they want Carroll. "

"i would prefer Taarabt before Ben Arfa"

"Please not Ben Arfa, injury prone and weak, only scores 2 goals a season. Hell no."

"Great player at Newcastle, but so was Andy. Will he be Injury prone? Perhaps if we sold Allen, Borini and Shelvey we mght be able to find a third of Newcastles asking price. Cant help feeling this is an easy option when scouts should be doing their job and get budding "Bens" "
