Well...its always better then a box-to-box goalie... :lol:

Pedro will be his primary competitor. Yes, is he good enough for Barca? Give him time to prove it. ;)

lol...You said it like you'd be happy with a muslim even if he couldn't kick a ball if his life depended on it. Quality before everything...thats all Im saying. 3aid mubarak by the way ;)

Nothing. Lets judge players on their skills and style, not on their religious beliefs.

That would be something. Over here Cocu is a legend. Almost brought us back in the CL finals in 04/05. Yeah, I figured he would be used as he plays on the Dutch squad. He has the potential to become a sensation. Only question is if Villa can handle all those crosspasses he will be receiving. :P

Lol...do you even know the difference between a playmate and a pornstar? And they both denied it. I dont care much for his private life. We all need to put put it somewhere...might as well be in a playmate. :P One thing is for sure...he won't be catching headlines in Barcelona. He is very low...

LOL Very strange theory... No Toivonen isnt on his level. There is only one player that trully understands him and thats Jonathan Reis and maybe Dzsudzsák.

Correct. He had to carry PSV at a very young age after Cocu left. Also some trouble on managementlevel with 5 coaches in a very short period. It wasnt easy. At Barca he doesnt have to carry the squad, but solely focus on his game. Thats the difference in play if you compare Afellay at PSV and...

You ll always have people that will question his qualities at this point. Its up to Afellay to shut them up by displaying his technique and skills. ;) A reporter (PSV-watcher) of the biggest Dutch soccer magazine (VI) reported that its a done deal. Afellay still has to sign, but thats just a...

Wasnt the best game. PSV never plays 100% against these kinds op opponents.

Cruyff was the one that handed Afellay 'the talent of the year'-award years ago. I remember that he complimented him on his superb skills and style. He was in that jury himself and the decision was unanimous. Not sure if that means that he believes that Afellay can make it at Barca, but I know...

My pleasure. :) You are saying the exact same thing as I am. There were clubs that wanted to sign him, but not the clubs that he had on his wishlist. Once he mentioned that there are 4 or 5 clubs that he couldnt say no to. @El tren: Thats what he said. Perhaps he based his opinion on the...

Do you even watch the games? Seriously. Everything he does is functional...headless chicken? You are so going to eat those words once he has proven you wrong. :P

Thats not true. Afellay even played better games from Holland, then the match against Sweden. The only difference is that he scored twice. Can you give me one interland where he performed poorly? He never brought the level of the Dutch squad down. In fact it was always an improvement when he...

Actually Afellay is more versatile than Van der Vaart. Van der Vaart is a true central midfielder. Afellay has the speed and passingabilities, which make him very dangerous on the left or right wing. Qualities that Van der Vaart doesnt have.

The part about Ajax and Feyenoord is rubbish though. Dont know who wrote it, but he or she should get the facts straight. When Afellay just started playing soccer PSV had an agreement with Elinkwijk, which is the club from Utrecht where he played till the age of 10 or 11. Hiddink and other...

He is very humble off the pitch. Still lives in the old neighbourhood, even though he is the best paid PSV-player. Iv seen Afellay debut in 2005 and have literally watched every game he played @ PSV since. His development has been remarkable. Year in, year out he dealt with every point of...
