Afellay could walk into a starting role at a decent amount of CL sides.

I waited and tried to stop laughing but...........

If only we had the refs give out red cards anytime Puyol got near anyone in our half

What are you crying about? Marcelo probably still has nightmares about Afellay.

Probably not LM. Probably have more nightmares on what particular hairstyle he would have than players...

Also, he's a good player, Affelay that is...

easily better than Pedro.... but unfortunately will never make the Barca starting lineup. If he moved to a team like Milan or Liverpool, I could see him earning a cult hero status.

He ate Marcelo for breakfast, lunch, dinner and a late night snack when he came in...

He has been a good signing for us,gives us some much needed depth.
Very good technique,pass and move,and a nice shot.
I have a feeling he will play a more significant role coming season.

I agree! He should leave Barca for more gametime!

Yep... but he needs to get a first 11 spot in a top team Smile

I think he can handle it but he won't get it at Barca!

Watch at 0:56

I love watching afellay play, he brings a ton of energy off the bench and the versatility that Barca needs from a sub given their relatively weak bench, and i feel that he has not been utilized to his full potential yet by pep. Would really like to see what he could do if he got regular playing time. And dont forget that the transfer fee was only 3m! overall great buy for barca.

Lol I love highlight videos that show simple side to side passes by the player

haha, well granted there was a lot of that, but you cant deny the video also show cases his speed, agility, and ability to shoot from long range. and to be fair it is a 90 second clip highlighting what did did over 24 minutes of a single game. BTW, watch at :56 one more time Very Happy
