He looks good. But i am curious, how is it possible that we got him for 2 or 4 mil? It's crazy really, he is very good player.

Just read an article where it states that Wesley Sneijder and Robin van Persie are dissapointed that Inter and Arsenal didnt buy Afellay. Looks to me that they wouldnt stick their neck out if they werent convinced that he can succeed at a European topclub. Both players know what qualities are needed at the topcompetitions. ;)

Wesley Sneijder: "I recommended Afellay to Inter and vice versa. In Italy he definately could have been a star with his qualities. Unfortunately the management didnt listen to me." Robin Van Persie: "If I was the technical manager of Arsenal I would have bought both Afellay and Van der Vaart. I consider them to be fantastic players, which I have told the management on numerous occasions. Unfortunately they didnt listen to me."

Same stuff as De Boer, V. Marwijk and Cocu told the press before.

People who claim Afellay has a decent shot, he hasn't. Occasionally scores a great long-distance goal, but often fails to hit the target (let's say, by 20 meters)

That doesnt mean he doesnt have a decent shot. It means he needs to improve his efficiency.

I think Ajax fans in disguise. :p

Exactly what I was thinking...All you need to know is that NT fixtures like Wesley & Van Persie were pushing very hard to acquire Afellay...Nevermind the overwhelming consensus from the Dutch football legends on Ibi

Not to take any thing away from the plaayer but RvP and Sneijder lobbying for Ibi might just be the paper invention tbh
