Tika-taka is coming to the Britannia
Or that's at least what Stoke fans must be hoping after the club today announced that they had managed to capture yet another former Barcelona player.
Ibrahim Afellay has put pen-to-paper to link up with Stephen Ireland and Johnny Walters for the new season, and is now the fourth ex Camp Nou man to sign on to play with Mark Hughes side.
Bojan Krkic and Marc Muniesa played last season for the Potters, while earlier this summer Moha El Ouriachi also made the switch to England.
Naturally the expectation on such naturally gifted players will be high, but Gary Lineker knows exactly how each player is going to be measured as a success or failure in the new season:

Well lads, is the challenge accepted?
