It's a shame how his career has frittered away.
It all looked so promising at one time.
He's then failed to establish himself in a shit Stoke team and also a couple of shit/mediocre teams in loan spells too.
He will no doubt end up in a nothing league next (maybe America).

I wont be shedding any tears just because we wont have to hear the Bojan luvvies (the same ppl no doubt who slag TP off) banging on about him. 4 separate managers could see something the luvvies couldn't. Relegation and a 14 per cent. (at best) win rate?

Bojan did great things for this club, but unfortunately for whatever reason could not sustain form enough to convince a number of Managers inside & outside the club. No offers came in so we had to negotiate a deal for him to leave quietly, which he is doing. I just wish the fans would let him go quietly and put an end to the Bojan over rated luv ins comments - (And I dont mean HE was overrated) - he was very good and had his moments of glory, can't we just leave it at that, without insulting intelligence that he was still capable of great things, cos he wasn't

He wouldn’t need to be capable of great things to merit a place in this team. Just good things would be more than enough! For some reason I can’t stop myself hoping that he gets the chance to try to prove our most recent two managers idiotically wrong.

Sad day but thank you Bojan - we were lucky to have witnessed such talent
Buena suerte mi amigo !

One of the biggest shames of this century at Stoke was the way he was treated. Spare me the injury guff too, or that three sacked managers and one with a 9% win rate can’t be wrong. We have eyes, we saw how much better he made the side. Absolutely spot on. The worst argument ever haha “loads of shit managers dont rate him” Isn't the point that loads of good managers don't rate him either. Which is why we have had to pay him up to become a free agent rather than receiving decent (or indeed any) offers for his services.

He hasn’t been sold to a top team. He’s been released and no doubt will not end up at a top team. So is the whole football world wrong?

Have to wish him luck. Never refused an opportunity, never moaned about or refused to play if he was picked out of position, never refused a club when being sent out on loan. One of those rare players nowadays who seems to care less about money and the name of a club, and far more about just playing the sport he loves regularly and that itself deserves credit in the current footballing climate. Ok, so he didn't produce wonders week in, week out and (personal opinion only) i don't think he's cut out for the physicality of English football (like many of the current starting 11 it appears!)...but, he was the first player since Ric that genuinely had us all excited when he picked up a ball and had us creaming when he did pull off moments of magic. Cheers for the last few years fella!! Never gave anything but his best, it didn't work out. It happens but we should all be thanking him for his efforts (he can't help it if managers don't pick him). I'm no Bojan obsessive or fanboy by any means, but am glad he now has an opportunity to at least try to find somewhere that he can get regular gametime. Personally i just don't see why so many are so quick to just come out with negative comments myself...don't remember him ever being any kind of bad egg or disciplinary nightmare or not being fucked whilst on the pitch, or getting into any kind of bother. Fair enough some think he's a legend, some don't...some think he was unfairly frozen out, some think there's a reason so many managers never played him. Same old arguments, we've all heard them before, but is it too hard an ask to just drop the one upmanship against other posters on here for once and just wish the little chap the best of luck? If nothing else, he put a smile on most of our faces a fair few times over the last 5 years. Beautifully put Mick, it's definitely a fin de siècle moment for me,maybe we had players who had a more sustained impact than Bojan during our Premier League era,but somehow he was the talisman of the great bits of the Hughes era,and all the aspirations and dare to dream scenarios crystallized into human form. You always know following Stoke that there'll be plenty of disappointments,but Bojans departure somehow signifies a giving up on fantasy,and a brute return to gritty pragmatism.That was the whole thing about the Stokelona project,it gave you hope...

I have not posted on here for years. Bojan's departure deserves a message.
I have been watching Stoke for nearly 60 years.
In my view he is one of the top three Stoke players I have seen. The other two are Sir Stan and Hudson. Boj really was that good.
Good luck little maestro.
Henry

I wont be shedding any tears just because we wont have to hear the Bojan luvvies If there's one thing that's guaranteed, it's that you haven't heard the last. If Jones doesn't change his tune vs Derby or Leeds, our next 2 home games will bring non-stop singing of "olé olé Bojan" just for his sake. Let's see if he'll understand why. And if Bojan bends down to tie his boot laces in Montreal there will be a thread about that!

Bojan has more talent in a hair follicle than several of our players put together.
That Jones can't find a place for him in the side, but can see fit to put Allen and McClean in the wrong position speaks volumes.

Badly let down (him and us) by the last 3 'managers' seemingly appointed by xenophobes. In my view they should have gone all out for Sanchez Flores. Maybe (can only be 'maybes' and 'perhapses' of course), we'd still be in the PL and Bojan would still be here.

Thanks for the memories Bojan and here's to whatever follows next!

A period that I’ll never forget, gave us the best of times watching Stoke. I don’t think I’ll see performances like that from players in a Stoke shirt ever again. He was actually world class for the 2 or 3 months before his injury. A pleasure to watch when everything clicked.

Why have we got a way of ruining good players?
Hoekstra, Tuncay, Shaqiri, Arnie... Bojan.
All came, were class, we never got the best, and they left, all in some way or other treated badly.

An injury prone footballing genius ex Barcelona replaced with an injury prone ex Wigan player what a fucking joke the club is.

You can argue that Bojan hasn't been used as he should be, and you could maybe say the same for Tuncay. The other three were hardly ruined. One went onto a much bigger club, one went onto much bigger money and the other one came to us as an injury prone player and did very well for us before the injuries put paid to him.

Yeah sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant more ruining the opportunity we have with good players. Another example is N'Zonzi. Why we let him go as cheap as we did. BRAIN DEAD.

So that's going to be the official line, he didn't want to be here? Can the next interviewer ask Tom why he looked like he didn't want to be here a lot of last season? I just hope we can get a player, again, who can control and pass a ball!
