Bojan will come into the side more, but maybe after the coming season especially with David Villa in the side now and Pedro continuing to impress when he’s given the chance.

Reason I and many Barca supporters don’t like Ibra is his attitude and capacity to play within the Barca mode of play.
He wonders around the box and slows down the intensity of play just around the area where its needed to be amped up.
I absolutely loved Kluivert, he was hard working, chased down useless balls, could dribble, win one on ones and link up with others, Ibra can’t seen to do any of them.
Reason he divides opinion is he scored wining goal against Madrid and was the lone scorers in 5-6 matches, hence he is difficult to ridicule him entirely,
But nonetheless if given an opportunity i would prefer Bojan to him.
Bojan is young and has 800 goals in youth system, he knows those 8 yards pretty well.

In England, I’m sure Man City and Chelsea would sniff about, especially with Drogba moving on in years

Villa’s left sided performances at the world cup may be his saviour. But who can rule out Barca signing another player which would put him even more into the shade, Fabregas for example.

The problem with a player like Ibrahimovic is finding out what motivates and inspires him. He’s gifted, that much is beyond doubt. He has class, a good touch, an intelligent football brain and the technique to score from anywhere. Motivation should be the hunt for trophies and awards but while I would imagine Ibra wants to always be the star of the show, the self-confidence (that borders on arrogance) that made players like Cantona, Henry, (Cristiano) Ronaldo and Totti, for example, world class players seems to have disappeared from Zlatan.

but how do you make him feel world class when he’s overshadowed by Villa, Iniesta, Xavi and Messi, and less in favour than teenagers Pedro and Bojan?

I like Ibra, and would love him to do well at Barcelona and prove the doubters wrong but as you mentioned the Catalans much prefer to see their own rather than foreign talent. This is obvious in the team line-up, and the home grown players getting every chance possible.

But you don’t outline the title of the post, why would Barca fans learn to love Ibra? Yes he is tall and strong unlike the rest of the front line, but as it turned out for Spain and their dispense of Torres this summer it’s not a winning necessity.

I think he’s surplus to requirements. David Villa will obviously start almost every game, and that’s goes without saying with Messi. And after Pedro showed last season and this summer, he’ll become virtually undroppable soon enough.
