Mainly cos hes already played for 2 clubs this season I think.
3 teams are allowed per season

Are there any rules in place which limit how many clubs a player can play for in one season?
Currently under the FIFA Transfer Regulations a football player is unable to play for more than three teams in one season. This applies whether the player has been transferred or simply is on loan with that club.

This also applies regardless of what country that player has plied his trade in, whether that is in Europe, Africa or South America. As long as a player has represented a club in a league under the adjudication of a FIFA Member Association they will only be able to play for three different clubs.

However, this does mean that a football player is free to represent a total of three different clubs in any league in the world over the course of one season.

Fifa regulations state that “players may be registered with a maximum of three clubs during one season. During this period, the player is only eligible to play official matches for two clubs.”

I stand corrected. So the only benefits of it is we can send youngsters to play for 2 other clubs as long as they haven't played for us. That Ben Arfa was a bit off though with FIFA taking into account an U21 game.
