Ibrahim Afellay

[kaisers0ze]

I dont believe what that old guy says like the story that ibi was annoying with the dutch team.

But im beginning to think that ibi should leave he isnt playing at the same levels as before his long term injury.
He needs more playing time and more guts

I think its like you say..

OR he needs more playing time and more guts
OR he needs to leave regarding his sporting career

Concerning the "playing save without guts" though i think he is being instructed to play that way. Before his injury he mostly came on as a sub to defend a lead.
One of the few times he came on not protecting a lead, you could see he played more forward minded.. i think a good example was the Madrid assist. He immediatly went to playing save after that assist.

@barcastuff
Afellay's agent is holding loan talks with several clubs, with permission of Barcelona. There's interest from English and Italian teams [md]

 

[Hatem Ben Arfa]

Newcastle!

I told you all months and months ago

Would he be a starter? If so, then I hope it happens. I rather he goes to pl than italy.

 

[Hatem Ben Arfa]

would he be a starter? No probably not

he would play the left wing forward in place of Demba Ba I guess.

I don't see him benching Ben Arfa or Cisse or Ba really. Only when those 3 need rest.

I heard he was going to go on loan, I hope not though, why does it always have to be a loan? Loan deals usually come back to nip us in the bud, look what happened to Hleb and Henrique, we ended up terminating both of their contracts and never getting any money for them. Keirrison well, we can't get rid of him apart from a loan deal, I say if players aren't going to be given a chance at the club we may as well make a profit.

Then I hope he goes someplace else. Where he can be a starter.

Sell. Please no loan.

 

[mixer]

If we sell him now, we can get some money for him. Later may be too late

 

[Galning]

Most sources say it's a loan :/

 

[PhilS]

He is too good to rarely play, I just hope he goes somewhere where he can be on the field regularly. Tito seems to prefer Sergi Roberto in midfield, Tello at forward. They are no necessarily better players, just better fits into this team.

Agree on all points. But I hope he's sold not loaned. I don't see the point in loaning a 26 year old when we could've sold him months ago.

 

[Dan1983]

We signed him for 3 Milllion Euros, if we sell we can at least make a profit on him.

 

[karthik]

Looks like Zenit is interested in him.

"My transfer targets? Afellay is definitely on the list, but we have only enquired about availability and not made a bid," Spalletti explained when speaking to Zenit's official website.

 

[Theodore Evelyn Mosby]

Sell. Please no loan.

ditto. I feel bad whenever I see Afellay these days. He needs to be freed, but it can't be done here at Barcelona.
