Happy Face 29 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Still fat as fuck then?.....always thought he'd be tricky to handle but didn't have him down for over indulging on the old duck pizza... The week he signed we saw him in Lau's 2. All you can eat for a footballer is never a good sign. Should be with his team mates in nandos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Pre season's haven't been great to him recently - mainly because there's always somebody who fancies a kick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44107 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Of course there's an issue if the kid is getting left behind to work on his fitness. He's probably come back as fat as he did from his last injury. He's a professional sportsman ffs, staying fit is part of the job description. Â But it's all fine cos it's Ben Arfa.

ChezGiven 0 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Despite going to the gym every day and running every week, someone on here had to go on the 5:2 diet to keep the pork off due to his eyes being bigger than his belly.

Tom 14011 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Marveaux recovered in France too and has a worse injury record than Ben Arfa - if you don't count Ben Arfa getting scythed down by lunatics - which nobody can really avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there.  Have had to drop it to one day cos I'm overdosing on running and cycling now. Might have to knock it on the head altogether. And nobody pays me to keep fit. So fermez la bouche.

I often think a lot of players are much fitter than they need to be. Don't leave your game in the gym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44107 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I think it was Barney said he looked like he was wearing a nappy last time he came back from injury. Â Doing himself no favours - if you're both injury prone and not looking after yourself it'll start to become a vicious circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I'd go as far as to say he's our most important player and needs to stay fit this year, predominantly because he's the most creative player in the squad. When he's at his sharpest he's brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 4084 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Important? Colo's the most important one for me. Makes players around him look twice as good as they are and everything seems to fall apart when he's not there. So Im not sure about most important, but yeah he's definitely the most talented and dangerous player we've had for a long while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
