Ibrahim Afellay

[USWAY]

Would rather have Bojan as a sub than Afellay.

Affelay showed last year(in his first 5 months) that he can come on as a sub and affect the game with his pace and explosiveness. He also doesn't seem to have any qualms with doing so.

Bojan seems to suck coming on as a sub, and openly admits to feeling slighted when he doesn't play. What Bojan needs is regular time on the pitch, because he lost his confidence. I don't see how a player who lacks confidence in their abilities can come and be an effective sub. Which is why I am happy although Thiago is young, he is brimming with it.

 

[Barcafan 2304]

Hope Graham Bailey is talking shite

 

[LaMessiah]

I'd add that his versatility makes him even more valuable than most players at similar value...Can play in a number of positions and as we have seen, Pep places a great deal of importance on versatile players

100%

Would be a bad move to sell him, imo

 

[Barcafan 2304]

Would be ridiculous, he's only been here a short space of time

yes.

afellay doesn't complain about minutes, he is happy with what he gets, and he proves on the pitch what he can do with the time that he is getting, however limited it may be

Good call mate, his attitude has been spot on

 

[Myrmecophile]

He's not going to leave.

It doesn't make any sense now that he's actually settled and can hopefully improve, to sell him and then have to buy a new, unprepared player.

i would have been really happy to sell him and keep bojan. cause we all know bojan just needed that confidence boost.

And how exactly would he get that boost sitting on the bench? I for one am excited to see him go off to get regular playing time under a Barca coach. He needs to recapture that magic.

The kid is cut

hahaha pique...should stop

 

[evilhita666]

Sometimes I forget he exists... I wonder how much he will play this season...

 

[Onuphrius]

Probably at least as much as last season. Also he will be key figure in copa. Everyone should remember that he owned in Erediviese and has been here only 6 months. I can see him being valuable rotation player for us for many years to come.

The guy in the backround looks like Ibra.

 

[Myrmecophile]

Probably about 15 starts, between 30-40 appearances including a few minutes here and there.

Question is whether he'd want to move next summer if that is the case.
