Baggio Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 They got him on the cheap, so its a shame. Where'd you hear that? The article said he thought he was coming over to sign for us or Villa. "I was bound for England. Then I became aware of an interest in Lyon. As soon as the OL has shown to my environment, Lyon has become my priority. In my mind, there was no ambiguity. OL is one of the biggest clubs in French, if not the greatest " http://www.topmercato.com/39692,1/fofana-veut-montrer-les-griffes-a-l-ol.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Isn't that some bizarre half-loan half purchase deal as well? Who would we even buy him from, I don't even http://i.imgur.com/YEArG.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Original source was Footybunker...crap. just went on the Barca forum to see if there's any chat about this only to discover they have an eleven page thread on...... Coloccini, with a raging debate about whether he's world class or not. Fighting our corner...Sewelly. Back on topic. I think Bojan is exactly the type of forward we should be going for - young, technical and highly rated. the form of Ba and Best means there's less pressure to go for the finished product, and we can afford a bit of a gamble on a top development player offering something different. And having that extra bit of intelligence, skill or technique is something we dont have atm - as Best is hard-working and has presence, Ba is a livewire who has good movement and is a goal threat, and Shola's a bit of both only shitter.

Guest Roger Kint Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Never been convinced with Bojan, always been a bit Gianni Dos Santos to me, has too many hit/miss games. Who is Fofana? Never heard of him tbh, any good? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urgh. Better than a Norwegian Newcastle fan. Yuk. What is it with those Norwegians hating all other Scandinavians? It's a Mackem-esque obsession! Have nothing against Scandinavians in general. In football on the other hand. That goes for Norwegians as well. I'd say it's the other way around. But that's more an issue for you, Denmark and Finland. Arrogant as it might be, but you lot go unnoticed most of the time. I don't get the point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Bojan would be a weird santon esque signing for us. How is hr doing at roma? He fits our profile of talented players whose careers have stalled and who may be eager for the chance to get started again. Risky, but great if it comes off. I wouldn't be at all surprised about this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Bojan is a quality player who's just lacking confidence. Regular games and a couple of goals will solve that. He's a deadly finisher (on his day) and his all-round play ain't bad either. And he's got pace to burn. A confident Bojan would have lots of fun in the Premiership.

Guest Recoba Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Wiki says three in eight for roma, which isn't bad. Totti isn't getting any younger. Is Enrique under pressure or is Bojan not fitting in? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JS Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Bojan's doing fine at Roma and seems happy enough playing under Luis Enrique. The whole 'new era' thing hasn't started as well as it could have done. I've mentioned before on here somewhere that I think the overhaul of the playing system, staff, squad at the beginning wouldnt do us any favours in the immediate time, but if this sticks then it will pay off next season. If it sticks..! Cant see Bojan coming here, sorry. He followed LE to Roma cause he wouldn't get a game under Pep, he knows he has some quality and don't think he would come here with no affiliation with the club. Just how I see it! Totti has said he wants to play until he is 40, and if he stays injury free I dont see why not. He's lost the pace and runs he's had but as a creative entity with a sublime pass and strike he could probably afford to stay Village Idiot will know more about Bojan then from what i've seen of him though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MW Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 From the OP of that thread Last season was a disappointment after seeing Carroll go. Apart from Kevin Doyle he was my other favorite on Newcastle, but in the end both left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
