Skysports.com is reporting that reports in the Spanish media are suggesting that Barcelona are holding talks over PSV Eindhoven winger Ibrahim Afellay. The 24 year old’s contract is up in the summer and has stated he wants to leave the club in the January transfer window. To recoup as much money as possible before his contract expires, PSV are hoping for a bidding war but Afellay’s agent Rob Jansen has denied press reports that a deal has already been agreed with Atletico Madrid:
“We have not reached any agreement with any club whatsoever. Not even with Atletico.”
Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal have also been linked with Afellay and Jansen has admitted that some of the clubs linked with the player are true:
“Some of the names in the press are correct, but I do not wish to confirm any one.”
STELLA ARTOIS WORLD DRAUGHT MASTERS
Afellay will be my 3rd choice after Arda Turan and Ashley Young..
good man rather pay more for adra turan at 14 mill
Creative and skillful guy, hopefully we can get him but depends on how much he’ll cost cause a striker remains the top priority in January and to add to that, I still believe and ‘out and out’ winger who can run down the flanks and get the ball into the box is needed cause Afellay isn’t that sort of player, he plays too similar to Cole and Gerrard.
Buy Turan. Offer Kuyt (still rated in Netherlands)for Afellay. then buy a striker (Llornete) and a left back (Contreau) and sell Babel and Poulson.
Sack Roy for starters then get a manager with a brain and the balls to change things like formation, coaching staff and sell players like Poulsen, Lucas, Konchesky, Babel, Jovanovich etc and bring in players with potential and experience.
I would love to see Llorente/Pato, Contreaou/Cissokho, Turan, Ashley Young, Sneijder, the young Brazilian Rafa played against Spurs and get Leonardo as scout hes got an eye for talented players……..But im in dreamland ……YNWA
it doesn’t matter how much he costs – there’s no way he, or any players like him, choose Liverpool over other big clubs while we remain with a manager who clearly does not trust young, ‘inexperienced’ players
