Alos am I the only one surprised that Afellay is in the squad, what has he done the last 18 months to warrant his place?
Well, this happened about 9 months ago: http://barcelona.theoffside.com/team-news/news-of-the-day-ibrahim-afellay-injured-out-for-months.html And he is one of Van Marwijk's favorites. He has a special liking to his playing style. Direct and fast. Almost a copy of Sneijder as in playmaking style.
