You can't really tell. He scores goals for fun whenever he gets a game, he's still very young and could well kick on and be whatever he wants.

Conversely, he could just have looked good and scored because he was in Barca's team. You won't know until he tries it somewhere else.

In effect it's a season long loan then. Ireally hope the lad gets some proper minutes. Coming on for the last 15 minutes when you're side is sitting back on a 3-0 lead won't do any forward favours.

I think the fact he's gone to play for Luis Enrique has an interesting sub-plot, with Guardiola leaving at the end of next season a good season at Roma could make him a front runner for that job - as with Guardiola before him he's done a very good job with Barcelona B.

Fair do's, he just doesn't impress me when he eventually did get some game time for Barca. He lacks that something for me, but as you say he's still only young. I prefer this Kerrison who Barca have in their ranks at the minute, he's only 21 and currently on loan at Santos, he'll be a very good player, IMO.

Isn't Kerrison the seal dribbling guy? If anything, I'd say he's the more overrated of the two. He hasn't achieved half as much as Bojan (and he's only 20).

Catalancs, have Malaga signed Carzola yet? We go Malaga each year and I'm loving there new ownership and the players they are bringing it. Got to be looking for a Champs League spot this year/next.

Cazorla? I read a couple of days ago that Madrid were still interested but the Villareal president was sticking to his guns to either ensure a big price or that he stays at El Madrigal. I'd be very surprised to see him at Malaga next season. I think Malaga need a big season or maybe two before they can start signing players like Cazorla. By big I mean qualifying for Europe while making an impact in the league and getting to the final of the Copa del Rey.

As for Keirrison, I'm with inside man. There was a lot of noise when he signed and he was seen as one for the future (by me at least), but limited football in Portugal and Italy haven't helped his development. I may be wrong but I don't think he's ever played a competitive game for Barça and unless he has an absolute stand out season at Santos I don't think he ever will.

He is, and he hasn't as he's struggled to get into the side, as a wide men it would mean moving one of Pedro or Messi to accomodate him, that's why I'm looking forward to seeing who Guardiola removes to fit Sanchez in. You could be right, I just guess it's abit like the Bojan one for me, he's quite young yet so lets see how he matures and whether he becomes a real good footballer.

They [Malaga] were definitley interested and apparantley bid 20M Euros. A quick look online and it seems Cazorla wants to stay with Villarreal. They've been linked with quite a few players, apparantley they made a 35M bid for Sneidjer. You know, I read somewhere that they were reportedly tracking Tevez's movement, now that Corinthians have pulled out, I wouldn't be suprised if they came in and made a cheeky bid, apparantley Tevez has a place there and loves going.
