10 Barcelona Signings Who Completely Flopped At The Nou Camp

Barcelona continued their links with PSV Eindhoven back in 2010 as they brought in Dutch midfielder Afellay.

There was already a history between the clubs given the success Ronaldo enjoyed at the Nou Camp after moving from Eindhoven, so fans of Barcelona could be excused for thinking they might be getting something close to the brilliant Brazilian.

Sadly for the club, fans, and player alike, the stars didn't align on this occasion as Afellay struggled to settle in Spain and made less than 30 appearances in a five year spell with the club.

Loan moves to the likes of Schalke and Olympiakos didn't exactly do Afellay any favours, before he sealed a permanent move to Stoke City in 2015.

However, much like his time in Barcelona, Afellay flattered to deceive for the Potters and struggled to get back to anything like the form he had shown at PSV originally.

Now back in Eindhoven and 33-years-old, Afellay will probably look back at what was a big missed opportunity to be part of the one of finest footballing dynasties in recents history.
