Trequartista
The good
I still think that his long term future will be as a left winger.

And you had to end with 'bb zlatan' and break my heart?
I understand what you're saying, but I don't think Bojan would be worth it. Pedro would, but Bojan looks like he'll never be world class. He's very good, but not 'Barca material' imho.
he prefers CF mate.
hah, 1 game, he put Ibra out the team last year, GOD people have short memories.
He will never be a world class LW/RW - a world class CF You got it.
he'll never be world class? well if your definiton of "world class" is bubble-gum juggling, big nosed, tall, slow, fat, useless, slow, never moves......
No, I remember his performance well. He didn't put Ibra out, Ibra did that himself. Bojan is very good, really, just not world class, imho.
I don't think he will ever be Barca #9. And I think it would be better for him to play elsewhere. From club's perspective, it's better that he stays - a cheap, excellent CF backup.
Btw, this has nothing to do with Ibra. If Ibra leaves, he'll be backup for Villa. Nothing changes for Bojan, and THAT is exactly what I'm trying to say
i'll spin the ball around, he has 7-8 great games and he's suddenly all that world class?
Shite in the air, can't hold up the ball and gets easily bullied off by stronger defenders. With him we'll have the same prob when facing stubborn, physical sides who adopt a well-drilled ultra-defensive approach. And with the new emerging crop of defenders two times his size, more athletic, agile, he will have to work both on his physical and mental game to establish himself amongst the best.
What Barca needs is a complete and versatile CF for the future. One who can offer us options upfront. A poacher or a targetman when called upon and efficient in both roles. Bojan isn't that.
(I do remember the Inter goal or the chance he missed against Chelsea but in both instances he came as a sub in the dying mins and surprised a tiring defense with his movement...Throw him from the start in such games, he'll prove inadequate)
He has a much better record whn starting.
what Barca will need is the Best CF available, and that could be Bojan. I agree he neeeds to improve his strength though.
