If the Spanish media has their story right--and that's always a big if--it looks like we could get David Villa. But only if we loan Krkic, along with Caceres, for a year to Los Che. Sounds good to me. The Uruguayan will likely get some quality time on the field as will Bojan, and that can only be a good thing. One year's time and both will be back in the blaugrana fold with some respectable experience under their belts. Seems to me a case of having your cake and eating it too. Win-win. Yet, rumor has it Barcelona don't want to loan out Krkic. What? Why?
I just don't get that. Pep used Bojan very sparingly last season, a likely indication the coach wasn't quite convinced of the young man's 'qualities'. And, now they don't want to loan him out for next season? Very strange. Assuming Eto'o and Henry both leave and Villa comes in, where will Bojan go? The wings? He's not a winger, he's a second or support striker, comfortable playing deep off the front line. That puts the boy in a position that really doesn't exist in Barça's 4-1-2-3. So, why the reluctance to loan him out? Got me.
Over 30 years ago, this American came to love the sport by way of Guam. It may have been pivotal that his first coach was a Spaniard with the self-declared moniker of 'Don Pedro'. Since then, the love of tiki-taka and all things La Liga has been foremost. This especially applies to Barça.
