I'm sure Meta will come up with something insofar as nicknames go.

As much as i admire the man's expertise and knowledge on world subjects, his creative side leaves a bit to be desired. The Special Ks and T-bones... I think i'll stay with Ibi. Thank you. :lol:

All the dutch pundits are saying he doesnt have what it takes to make it with barca so atleast he wont have any lack of motivation even though playing for a club like barca alone should be enough motivation.

But they make the mistake of forming their opinion based on his current position at PSV, which is not the position that Barca primarly wants him to fill. I don't see him as a competitor for Busquets or Mascherano. Sure he can play there, but only if Barca has some serious injuries. I also think that not being the one that has to carry the team will do him good. Barca also signed him in the winter to give him time to adapt to the new environment. So there isnt much pressure on his shoulders. He should enjoy the experience and give his best. Im confident that he will surprise most of his critics.

Of course, why did I not see it before, Afellay was brought in to replace Iniesta, what a scandel!

Afellay has been horrible in the last few matches, but ended with a good one against Roda JC.

Afellay has the technique to be a Barcelona player, I only doubt he as the vision. But I hope he'll do great since it's a great person with a great ambition.

Did you notice that Barca started playing amazing football after the negotations started with Afellay? :lol:

Yeah and that is why the negotiations took so long ;)


He will probably have the no 20 shirt I reckon?
