The Barcelona player Bojan Krkic, currently on loan to Milan until the end of the season, is "weighing up" what is "best for his future", according to what the player's father said on Thursday.

In a statement given to the 'La Xarxa' programme, the player's father, who is also called Bojan, said that his son is "in a good situation".

"He's a Barça player on loan to Milan, with all the difficulties that it entails. Bojan is considering what is best for his future," he remarked. He claims his son is "quite happy" at Milan, in a "big" club, which plays "competitive football", and that he is "treated very well" in a "beautiful city".

It is essentially a question of money. In the agreement reached by the two clubs there is an option to buy for €15 million at the end of the current season - a figure that Milan is unwilling to fork out. A few days ago, during a broadcast by 'Catalunya Ràdio' it was claimed that Milan was interested in keeping Bojan, as long as the price was €5 million. "This is a matter for Adriano Galliani, Milan vice-chairman, and Sandro Rosell, Barcelona chairman, to agree on," Bojan senior concluded.

Er, so can someone explain the precise structure of his contract if Milan are negotating with Barca, who he left two years ago in a permanent deal to Rome.
 
Barcelona have an agreement with Roma that they'll buy him back this Summer for €12m unless Roma pay additional €30m (figures are estimated, they may be different). The right to buy him has been transfered with a loan to Milan but they'll have to pay Barcelona €15m or else he goes back there for €12m that Barcelona will pay to Roma.
 
I imagine it was done to balance the books a little which a loan move wouldn't have done. This way Barcelona had an additional income of €12m in 2011 to even out some of the spending from the Summer in which they signed Sanchez and Fabregas.
 
Is he worth all this money merry go round. Barca just need to let players go (No stupid clause) when sold.
 
He's a bit average. He'll be a back up at Milan which is why they won't pay much for him. I reckon he could be good at a team like Swansea and should move somewhere like that sooner rather than later. Playing week in week out for a side that tries to play good football is his best bet to save his career.
 
I always was convinced that Bojan will become a world beater and probably the best in the world. Don't know what went that wrong for him.

I actually never understood the hype surrounding him.

Extremely poor and could barely get a game. Not sure how many goals he got but I would imagine it was no more than 5 or 6.

He got 3 goals and 3 assists. I don't know how his general play was though.
 
Is it true that Barcelona have to buy him back for 13 Million? I could have sworn that Andersred wrote about this deal as the best deal in the history of best deals because Barcelona could 'amortize' some shit. How did that turn out then?

Still profiting off that deal although they need someone to pick up his contract or he'll have to take a paycut - either way, the club will profit a bit more on this once hyped cantera kid

I think it was his body that stopped him making it to be one of the greats he was predicted to be. He is too small and his skills are specifically for the no.9 role anywhere else he just doesn't have the skillset to play and who will play him as a 9?? He doesn't offer enough outside goals.

If you saw that youth tournament a few years back where he scored around a goal a game just coming on for the last 20 mins of each match (or something, my memory is a bit hazy about it, but I remember he was ridiculously good), you'd have seen where the hype came from.

If spurs pick him up for £5m with no stupid clauses involved it will be a good deal for them.

It's true, at least from my point of view. Some athletes have those personalities that thrive being in a position to be the hero, some shirk from it. Bojan is among the latter. Has a nose for goal, dribbling ability and good ability to read the game. If he had better speed, he'd probably be a minimum €20 million player but his speed is merely adequate.

No I meant I wrote all that and that is what you gave me back but, yes I agree in regards to his attributes I don't know about his mentality personally.
 
I always thought that he will become a great player. At times I thought that he'll become even better than Messi. How the things change!
 
Around 3 years ago I was in Barcelona on way to see a match versus Vallodolid. The hotel receptionist said keep an eye out for Bojan. I had vaguely heard him before and all sounded positive, anyway he came on as a sub and scored 2 goals and looked pretty impressive. As others have said I thought he would be the next huge Barcelona player, but apparently not...!

Some weird career this kid has had.

And not quite 23 yet. I think he can still end up a decent professional but I don't believe he'll ever become a special talent on the world stage. Of course, if anyone can turn his confidence around, it'd be De Boer
 
Crazy how poor he had looked the last few years considering all the hype as a youngster and getting capped by Spain at 21. Maybe playing in a 'lesser" league will good for him.
 
Some think it dates back to '08 when he voluntarily turned down a chance to go to Euro '08 with La Roja, he's the cowardly lion from Oz, IMHO. Talented kid who had some glory days both as a youth and briefly as a professional but he's never been able to handle the pressure.

I remember how defenders could defeat him mentally with one good stop and the rest of the match he'd shirk from attacking there again. That's not the sign of a 1st team footballer let alone a Barcelona one.
 
I was never that convinced by him, although the equally massive hype for the then ridiculously overrated Giovani Dos Santos made me sort of ignore him so I could focus on criticizing Dos Santos.
I did think Bojan would go on to be better than Ajax level though.

That's the advantage of having posted on here for nearly 10 years. I can go back and actually see my opinion. Like this post from feb 2008:

I'm comparing his attacking qualities with Brown - he's much better than Brown in defence, but he's been shocking in attack for months now.

I agree with you about Barcelona btw. as I've also mentioned on here myself quite a few times - all teams would look mediocre in attack with the likes of Giovani, their lack of depth really hurt them, and they should have kept Giuly knowing that Eto'o would be missing because of ANC - Rijkaard has shown Giovani too much faith and I actually think it's done him more bad than good - he's not looked the part at all, it's almost embarrassing.
Giovani's secure place in the team meant that the opponents could more or less focus entirely on Messi which is also why he's looked below par in a lot of his matches since his injury.

Bojan has definitely got potential, but he's also lacked a bit of strength in a lot of the games, and it's hurt Barca they they've played with those two teenagers, it meant their attack looked like Liverpool's.
It will however all change now that Eto'o and Ronaldinho are back. We saw how Messi suddenly came to life again with the likes of Ronaldinho and Eto'o next to him in attack, it created much more space for him, as the opponents suddenly had their hands full and couldn't mark Messi with 3 men like some of the Spanish teams has done since the new year begun.

I also don't understand Rijkaard's reluctance to use Iniesta for a while, and when he's finally used him then it's often been in obscure positions like the holding midfield. He was Barca's best player for large parts, and I'm quite sure he'd have been able to do a better job than Giovani even if it meant putting him out on the flank - though to be fair, even Richardson could have done a better job than Giovani.
Barca has however been lucky that last minute goals, bad refereeing and laziness by Real has prevented them from falling further behind.

That's surprising. When they both broke through Dos Santos looked the better player to me, less consistent but more natural talent than Bojan. Bojan on the other hand looked decent but never stood imo

I remember having a big discussion with Glaston, when Spurs signed Dos Santos. I swore Dos Santos would never make it as he was an overrated, overhyped mediocre player.

Glaston didn't share that sentiment for some reason.
 
He's trying to get a loan move to Stoke :lol:

So much for the future world player of the year, good enough for him the floppy haired ponce.
