With a lackluster Pedro, long term injured Villa and Afellay, and frequently injured Alexis our forward line has been in shambles. If it were not for Messi these injuries would've finished our season. Cuenca and Tello have done incredibly well given what was expected of them, but I can't help but wonder if Bojan would've exploded had he remained with us. Given what we now know about injuries, do you wish we had never sent him off? And would you take him back right now?

No I think we already have too many forwards as it is, they're just injured. They'll be back soon and until then imo Tello and Cuenca are sufficient to play in their place.

No way. He's been terrible for Roma as well.

Nope, he is overhyped La Masia player who isn't as good as press and the Barcelona fans would like him to be. Shame that we loaned him for free to Roma and had to buy back him In reality we will pay 1 M for Bojan two season loan to Roma.

as the others said we are quite stacked in this position right now

Bojan was a great great talent....no one should ever doubt that.I have no idea WTH is going on with him now tho.

Guardiola :vagi:

He flopped because his balls never dropped. I'm happy that I don't have to see sulky Bojan more. His face after another unsuccessful dribbling was sad to watch, good that he is at Roma now. I never rated him too high, I think of him as at squad player at max - I never think he will be starter at Barca. I didn't understand the view that Bojan will be our 9 for years, I always thought of him as bench player, that's it. Bojan = overhyped youngster with no mental toughness.

There's an argument to be made that, based on his previous performances, most of the times he delivered for us when he got a constant run of games. This injury crisis would've given him the chance to start a very long set of games, which could have potentially seen him do the same this season, for a longer period of time. We're only "stacked" in the position because we were forced to promote 2 players. It could have easily been Bojan instead of Tello.

No, dont think so.

I agree, he would of got more chances this season than ever before under Pep however, its a short term thing and he would be right back where he was previously.

Don't we have that mandatory buy-back clause which will come and kick us in the face? Really not looking forward to that moment when we have to pay 12 million (was that the amount?) for a great talent who forgot to keep developing after his 18th birthday. Because Roma sure as hell isn't going to pay 40 million for this kid.
