Ibrahim Afellay

[Barcafan 2304]

Sounds like the operation was a success

 

[Theconomist]

This guy will return and hopefully will be the impact sub he yearns to be.

No but there is some detailed info from the doctor himself:

Also some info on Abidal.

 

[AnfieldEd]

Is he surplus to requirements?

Wouldn't be surprised to see him go in January or next summer because he'd be in the first XI in many clubs throughout europe.

I still don't think he is Barca level, but adds depth to your squad at least.

 

[Barcafan 2304]

I do fear that this setback and time out will see his Barca dreams die, crying shame

 

[Barcaman]

He'll be back. Barca are not the kind that sells players coming after such terrible injuries.
Watch out for Ibi in April/May in our final push for the titles.

yeah a potential CL winning assist again would be dream come true

let it be a goal this time.. somewhere in the city of Munich, in the month of May!

I agree with that in the short-term and it is something that is a hallmark of the club but long-term, i think he may be moved on

PSV are in for a loan return of the injured player...Sport says they are interested in a 6 month loan but it doesn't make sense since he isn't scheduled to recover until late March, at the earliest...That'd leave a couple of months to perhaps gain some fitness ahead of Euro '12

Would it make that much of a difference to go back to PSV?

if he get loaned to PSV .. he'll never come back to barca .. I can't remember when was the last player got loaned and came back since Saviola who stayed in the team against Rijkaard wish ..

 

[Youngie]

Afellay isn't Barca material.

 

[xboogiex]

The rumor is false its has been confirmed he wont go back to Psv.

 

[FCBarca]

That's great to hear...He's had a shit run of luck with this injury but if Cuenca continues to impress, it may not matter
