Disco Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 If FM is correct, Afellay is out of contract in the summer, so I guess that's half the reason that he's being signed.

Conjo Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 If only he were french he would be perfect for Wenger. last thing Arsenal need is another small piss weak midfielder with no real position. Oh, sorry. I though he were collecting them... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 If FM is correct, Afellay is out of contract in the summer, so I guess that's half the reason that he's being signed. Cheep cheep. We are paying something ridiculous like €3m, if reports are to be believed. Suppose he'll be cover/rotate with Iniesta in the "A"MC and winger positions. Anyway, he any good?

We are paying something ridiculous like €3m, if reports are to be believed. Suppose he'll be cover/rotate with Iniesta in the "A"MC and winger positions. Anyway, he any good? Not good enough to get in your first XI. If he was to start I imagine it'd be in the LW position but I rate Pedro so I'd start him ahead of Afellay. He is a very good player though.

Village Idiot Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 He's meant as cover. I do think we lack one body that can play alongside the left wing and centre midfield so it's okay. Almost risk-free at that price anyway. Good thing we are going for value again instead of dumping 15m+ on another Hleb/Gudjohnsen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Oh yea, at €3m he's a bargain. He'll be eligible for the Champions League as well won't he? Since PSV are only in the Europa League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colocho Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Personally don't see the fuss, he's average at best. Agreed. He's definitely not lived up to the hype that surrounded him a few years ago. Surprised he's gone to Barca, I understand he'll be playing with quality players and coached by some of the best in the world - but he simply won't be playing week in week out, which is what he needs at his age.
