Ibrahim Afellay

[barcetia]

Busq-Masch-Keite midfield?

 

[gingerless]

thiago will start instead of ibi.....pedro will be rested, iniesta to move to the flank...i guess...

no

Doubt it. Pep will go full throtlle.

yes

 

[FCBarca]

I can't see Ibi really playing in this one unless the result is certain...Perhaps as a late 2nd half sub or if a spark is needed

 

[Corb]

Busq-Masch-Keite midfield?

Lo puto Keite?

 

[barcetia]

Lo puto Keite?

Si cabron!!

Would explain why he pulled Masch out early and never played Busiiiii.

 

[PhilS]

More likely to see Thiago than Ibi, as a sub if there is a decent lead. Maybe Ibi will not get included in the 18 until Pep thinks he knows enough Spanish, which might be months. It will be interesting which other of the 20 named will not be among the 18 for the game, this could forshadow a January loan or transfer.

Masch has been pretty sick. Pep might decide Messi and/or Puyol are not yet fit enough for 90 minutes, though I'm sure Messi will play at least 1/2.

 

[gingerless]

messi not fit enough? something i don't know about? or do you mean christmas hangover or something.

i'm pretty sure messi is going to play 90 mins though

agreed on that...

 

[barcetia]

knowing pep, he will play ibi first on Camp Nou.

 

[cule19]

I can't believe we got this kid for 3M, I think I'll start liking Rosell

 

[Co0ter]

It is on GolTV news and on the official site that Ibrahim is included in the squad for tomorrow along with Messi and Puyol.

 

[adil_909]

i wonder how he communicates with the players?? bojan commented when he first signed that he hadn't had a chance to speak to afellay since the team spoke spanish/catalan and he spoke english/dutch?

would be nice if that damn channel showed the match tomorrow!

 

[10Rivaldo]

Pretty sure Maxwell speaks Dutch. Coincidentally (or not) his locker is right next to Afellay's.

 

[XaviMessiGirl]

And if Afellay speaks English, so does Pique.

 

[Ocurrente]
