So far so good, too soon to make any comments on him, but pleased with what I've seen so far.

smigger how did you understand that

I think in the 2 games he has played in (Barca home and away), playing left back instead of his right back position - he has played extremely well. I liked the way he tried to encourage the crowd aswell on Tuesday night (as if we needed any more).

I must admit though Arbeloa does look good and he looks like he could be a permanent fixture  very soon

Let's get talking about Arbeloa shall we

Arbeloa was played left back because Messi is left footed and he needed to counter Messi's runs and it worked well. When Messi came up against Del Horno last season he gave the Chavski defender a lesson about football, Rafa is more clever than Jose so Rafa used his brain to think of how to stop Messi, Mourinho has a big head for nothing!

[priesty10]

I've been very impressed I have to say, shown some nice touches and shown that he's not affraid to tackle!

really would like to see him play RB tho so we can really see what he's like.........

You'll prob get the chance, you know what Rafa's like !! 

[edu_rbb]

There is no an agreement to buy him?

[Rafa La Bamba]

He is here with Liverpool, we signed him for £2.6m so he is ours and don't need to buy him again. I would not use a translator they don't work well in sentences

[redkenny]

I think Arbeloa has fitted in pretty well, from what I've seen. Too early to judge of course, but he seems quite confident on the ball - which is very important.
He slotted in and done a good job against one of the best young talents in the world.
Good stuff.

By the way. edu_rbb is an Arkles legend if you ask me!!!
Hola edu_rbb!!!

[Kerlon]

I like this, is a great defender and had a great marking, messi cant play versus alvaro, and riise can attack peacefull and don't need see back, only think in attack... great job defensive this week

[EddieC]

Much, much too early to say, but I've been impressed in the two games he's played.

The main reason he's been signed, I believe, is for his versatility. He can play anywhere across the back 4, but is most comfortable at RB. He might have been second choice, but I'm glad we got him rather than Lucas Neill.

[Madzz Adzz]

I like this guy. he is very controlled and disciplined player. he will be a good asset in our team next year wen we put up a strong fight for the prem.

[lester76]

Been a great addition...love the fact that Rafa is such a master that it is as if he bought him only for the Barca games and for our run in europe to the Final to collect Number 6....made Messi look like  a  cheating, overated Argie....oh...he is....
