Case closed: Ben Arfa

hello pep wanted to say what a great site this is, what does the charity thing in the top right hand corner mean?

pep said...

Thanks for the compliment.

The charity is that the money which I get from the Google Ads will go to:

1) a basic school in congo (helping to pay the school money of some children)
2) research on the work of a 19th century european painter who spent parts of his life in latin america, africa and the middle east

But I have to say the benefits are very low at the moment. I guess I could get more but I don't have the time to check all that. Once the transfer season is over, I'll look how I can up that a bit.

Regarding Ben Arfa, i don't think he is still improving in the same momentum expected when he first started with Lyon, specially as a team player, thats actually why lot of interested teams like Man Utd and Arsenal,beside barca cooled their interest and showed hesitation to consider this option.
Anyway, he is not an accomplished product yet, and for a team like barca having more than one promising winger in the youth ranks and in Barca B, I just cant c this player as an option as all.
And pep...whenever u call Bro:))
