#1 Hatem Ben Arfa – Paris Saint-Germain
Trending
The wonderful enigma that is Hatem Ben Arfa only got more complicated this season. After finally living up to the hype at Nice after years of frustration, a move to Paris Saint-Germain was seen as a perfect stage for his dramatically engaging talents.
What ended up happening was him shining in pre-season but after a poor performance in the opener against Bastia, Emery abandoned the 4-2-3-1 and Ben Arfa was left wandering out wide, if he played at all. The French international even made a video earlier this year to document his frustrations over playing time, which didn’t sit too well with many, even if in games since then, he’s shown glimpses of his brilliance.
The question, in the end, is why did PSG even sign him at all? It was a pretty poor move for all involved and an exclamation point in what was a truly apocalyptically bad summer transfer window for the Parisians.
