*Sick - the descriptive adjective kids use today to describe something that is fantastic.* Cor blimey! When he first played I wondered how the hell he would fit in. Now I'm thinking how the hell we would manage without him. He's a sublime player. He reminds me of George Eastham, but Bojan is nippier. Goarnnnn boy! OS.

He's improving game by game,coming to terms with this league after a woeful start if we're honest.He's even making sliding tackles lol.

Hughes' biggest problem now is getting Adam in the starting line up at home with Bojan. Can they play together without leaving us to exposed.
The way we're defending anyway makes me think he just give it a go....

MOM by a mile for me. Always coming looking for the ball and keeping the play moving. Great ball in for the goal. Sick bro.

For a spell (last 30 mins of first half) everything went through him. We were creating chances, scored a great goal and were looking really good. Why did this change after half time? BM

BM Early days but certainly has it in his locker to be our best midfielder since Hudson. I was wondering which modern player he reminds me of - Modric was the closest I could manage - I'm sure others will have other candidates. Hopefully he'll end up being as good as Modric with the added bonus of scoring more goals. How good would that be? The problem at the moment is that there are not enough of our players on his wavelength - hopefully that will improve.

It will be interesting to see what Huddy says about Bojan - no doubt he will comment on him sooner or later - I suspect he'll recognise that Bojan shares many of his qualities as a player.

Modric, and a bit David Silva; on a complete high, I'd use the adjective Messi-esque!! Just love the way the ball 'flows' around him.

He does seem to be finding his feet now, and at last we are seeing the player who got everyone excited pre-season. His partnership with Nzonzi is starting to blossom. Lets hope there is more to come and he does at times look a bit like david silva and sometimes better .

The way he brought the ball down before crossing for the goal was unreal!! It just stuck to his foot.

I thought he was playing a bit too deep yesterday , although he did look superb , I would prefer to see him in a more advanced role around their 18 yard box

By the time he got close to the penalty box it got ridiculously congested. I think he often comes very deep to pick up the ball because he is totally comfortable on it and he can run at pace or play the long diagonal pass just as well as the cross or the short pass. I'd be wary of trying to coach anything out of his game he seems to have a great football brain.

We would still need a sturdier defence The biggest challenge regarding Bojan will be keeping him here. He needs some time to play within a consistent team selection so that all of our players can be on the same wavelength

Cracking player. His crossing is generally poor mind. I'd like to see him in the box more,he's got what it takes to score goals.

I thought he ran into cul de sacs too many times. He also needs to leave free kicks on the edge of the oppositions penalty area to others. He has not hit a decent one yet. Other than that he is beginning to contribute.

Despite what others may think, the only players likely to be on his wavelength are Arnie and Nzonzi.

Other than that he is beginning to contribute. I agree he sometimes found himself in cul de sacs. What impressed me was the number of times he ran back out of them - whilst still keeping possession of the ball!

Other than that he is beginning to contribute. Fair point but why exactly do you think he at times seems to run into cul de sacs! No idea. Could be many reasons ranging from instructions to drive at the opposition, lack of vision, lack of movement of others, reluctance to release the ball early.

Yes very true. "Lack of movement of others" however, is where i see the problem also.

Well put it this way,his crosses are sometimes sublime but mostly underhit rubbish. He's no winger though,not his game. He's an old fashioned inside forward,Waddo would have loved him.

Agreed, but he can still hit a bloody wicked cross when need be.

Yesterday I was impressed by the way he has quickly learnt to look after himself and not get hurt by a lunging tackle. When he was signed and I learnt who he was I was immediately reminded of Middlesbrough's Juninho in the 90s en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juninho_Paulista

Could you compare him to someone else in order to avoid jinxing him with the same tag .
