Ibrahim Afellay

[Daemul]

I see everyone is finally moving to my exact thought on this matter. Get Afellay and when Xavi doesnt play you play Iniesta in the Xavi role and Afellay in the Iniesta role and the team will still perform well. Also, he would be an utter steal.

 

[FCBarca]

I can't figure out which leg he's better with, tbh...His left footed shots are pretty sweet but seems to score equally with his right...If signed, could be the best two footed player ahead of Pedrito! on the squad

 

[Daemul]

I agree, he is completely two footed. Maybe if we sign him he will shine and become the next Cruyff . I am so going to get destroyed for saying that, but thats what I believe.

 

[FCBarca]

Well, there's been a lot of Cruyff comparisons for him although I haven't seen enough of it to feel like it's fair/accurate

 

[Daemul]

Well he does score and assist alot and he's a starting member of the dutch team so maybe the comparisons arent that far fetched. He would be the buy of the year though, eligible for the CL and all that.

Seems like a no brainer really, to purchase him in the winter

Agreed, he would suit extremly well into La Liga, I can see him causing havoc lmao

That sounds good. Not to mention he's way chaper than pastore or cesc.

Much cheaper, about 10 million euros

I ain't sure what to think. In one hand he is great player, young, cheap, could be transfer of season! In other hand, we have Thiago, Jonathan and Roberto who are close to first team and buying Afellay wouldn't be good for them and their future

Yeah, but with Xavi and Keita retiring soon they'll be room for them in the team.

 

[kiki#8]

Xavi and Keita both have contract until 2014.

Yeah, when it runs out I think they'll leave, then Thiago and Co. will be ready to take thier places. Perfect

You don't know that.

 

[AnfieldEd]

Afellay is nowhere near Barca level yet.
