15 Worst Premier League Signings Of The 2014/15 Season

3. Hatem Ben Arfa - Hull (Loan)

Hatem Ben Arfa has long divided opinion at Newcastle United, infuriating fans with an obvious lack of effort on the pitch, despite possessing outrageous dribbling skills and the capacity to unleash an unstoppable rocket when the mood takes him. Many Magpies mourned his departure to Hull on loan, fearing that it spelled the end for his mercurial Tyneside career. Indeed it did, but his actions with the Tigers may have eased Newcastle's concerns over letting a gem slip away. Having made just eight goalless appearances for the Tigers, Ben Arfa went AWOL in December and never returned, eventually signing for Nice after forcing a release.
