Newcastle United No2 John Carver has welcomed back fit-again Hatem Ben Arfa.
The French star is back from a hamstring injury and is hoping to play a part in Sundays Premier League home encounter with Stoke City.
Carver told the Evening Chronicle: "Can you imagine him being in a team with Cisse, Gouffran, Sissoko and Cabaye?
"It would put the fear of God into many teams.
"I think we have exciting times ahead.
"Ben Arfa is classed as a special player but must work hard to get a place in the starting line-up."
