Ibrahim Afellay

Trequartista

The good
But Afellay is not for Mascherano or Busquets's place.

Pep won't be playing Pedro, Iniests AND Xavi all 3 every match...

Ibi is goiing to be a squad player,peerd,he will have his minutes but he will not have more minutes than Bojan,Maxwell,Keita and Mascherano

For some people who doesn't know a lot about the playing style of "Ibi". Originally he's a CAM but at PSV he's playing as CM and at the Dutch squad as a winger (which he's doing very well last matches). His skills are amazing and he's a really good passer, his short and long passes are wonderfull. He's a really good distance shooter (could shoot really hard but also beautifully placed).

I only see one negative point, sometimes he run to much with the ball instead of passing it to another player, but i also know that he could play the "barca style" (fast, short passing). I think he will play a lot matches next year in the squad of Barca!

Love to see my favorite player of my favorite team going to the best club in the world!

Of course not. It's about how you use it. A lot players (like Cristiano Ronaldo, but of course also Messi or Romario) has started their football-career with street soccer, Afellay too. But not everyone could do the same skills on the pitch as they do on the streets. C. Ronaldo can do this, Afellay can do this, but not as much as Cristiano Ronaldo. And Afellay has a great shot from distance, but of course, not every shot is a goal. But really, Afellay could become a great Barca-player, he has a lot of potential, but he has to grown if he want to come in the starting 11. ;)

I saw many his youtube videos and I am sure he will success in Barca. I have a feeling that Barca signed world class player for free, I just cant stop watching his highlights :worthy:
Looking forward for his debut (Levante) :)

Nothing can touch Villa-Messi-Pedro

so then its Iniesta-Bosq-Xavi, and he doesnt have more chance there either

He wil be a sub or replacer incase of injury, i cant say ive seen him much more then in WC but he gotta be a damn awesome player if hes gonna fight his way into the starting 11

Bojan is a striker right?

Yes he is,but i read here he can be an alternative for Bojan,because he(Ibi) is better,
A lot of people who are very happy with him are friends or PSV supporters.
No problem at all,but i am not convinced at this time,time will tell.
I read here also a rotation with Xavi,Iniesta etc. but no way at this moment.

afellay will be great addition if it turned out to be as told and if he can adapt barca style,
like see how much experience he got at young age and he can play CAM,CM and winger.
he can also give option to pep to rest other players like villa,Pedro,iniesta,xavi(put iniesta on midfield and afellay on wing or CAM)
and great advantage will be its price....enough said

Bold 1: He's not, his long shots are horrible. Even so horrible they won't even make the highlights of the match on television.

Bold 2: He's not like this for the Dutch NT, so he can play tikkie-takkie. I only doubt he has the vision for Barcelona. He sometimes starts with something without having any clue what he's doing. He often manages to get himself out of such situation beautifully in the Dutch Eredivisie, but he won't at a higher level.
