Ibrahim Afellay

Good riddance!

Indeed

 

[Theodore Evelyn Mosby]

Well, too bad that it didn't work for you here at Barcelona. Best of luck at Schalke!

At least he will still be experiencing Champions League football.

 

[Theodore Evelyn Mosby]

Afellay loaned for one season to Schalke 04

 

[ivan22]

I think it's great. he finally gets to play. I think the bundesliga suits him better.

 

[Josef K]

Schalke have a good chance of making it to the knockouts

Group: Arsenal, Montpellier, Olympiakos

 

[mitkoa7x]

looks good on him, maybe better than the blaugrana

 

[Ursegor]

Who was that again who flamed me for not rating him and wanting him out? Seems like the coaching staff agrees with me.

 

[Meitux]

looks good on him, maybe better than the blaugrana

yeah cause he doesnt deserve to wear blaugrana

 

[Doobs]

I'll definitely always remember him for that assist good luck Ibi.

Hell yeah! Ill remember him for that too.. His finest moment in Blaugrana - owning Marcelo. I think that says it all

 

[Hatem Ben Arfa]

what a Sheepish personality this guy exudes. guy comes across as such a coward to me. Perhaps the pressure of playing at a clubs as huge as Barcelona, or the fear of losing the ball and no longer being trusted by his teammates etc.

I hope he can play without fear at Schalke and rediscover the form that earned him a move to Barca in the first place. They are a massive club too though so the pressure could get to him still.

 

[Doobs]

Ya I noticed that Afellay was always the most anxious on the ball when he played, so your kinda right.

 

[Jadentheman]

He plays on a team with a fellow American! Wish Afellay well

 

[xaviniesta]

made his debut for schalke already today.

 

[Barcaman]

It's a perfect move for Ibi. Bundeliga is attractive, the language is not that different from Dutch, he'll be coached by his former manager and the Dutch generally do well in Bundesliga. His price will rise and we'll be selling him for much more than we'd get now.

 

[Corb]

How thin he is. :S
