I just read this

Fiorentina is very interested in Vincent Kompany, and they want to swap him with Valeri Bojinov.

Fiorentina: Bojinov offerto in cambio di Kompany

18:06 del 12 gennaio

Con Barzagli che sembra destinato a lasciare Palermo per Torino sponda Juventus, la Fiorentina continua a seguire Canini del Cagliari, ma presta anche molta attenzione al mercato estero per rinforzare la difesa in vista della prossima stagione.
Uno dei giocatori nel mirino del ds Corvino risponde al nome di Vincent Kompany. Secondo il quotidiano Het Laatste Nieuws, il club viola avrebbe offerto in cambio l'attaccante bulgaro Valeri Bojinov per arrivare al 20enne nazionale belga dell'Amburgo.

With Barzagli seeming destined to leave Palermo for Juventus, Fiorentina continue to follow Canini of Cagliari, but has looked at the foreign market to reinforce the defence for next year. A player in the view of Corvino is Kompany. According to the newspaper 'Het Laatste Nieuws', the viola have offered Valeri Bojinov in exchange for the 20 year old Belgian defender of Hamburg

Firstly, I believe we have the option to buy on Bojinov, which means, Fiorentina just cant sell him off without our permission. Hence, this implies

(1) Fiorentina definitely know we aren't exercising our option at the end of year
(2) The rumour is false.

I like Bojinov as a player, but this year is unbelievably deep in terms of FA signings are concerned, and as much as I think alleged 4.5m option on him seems like a bargain, Saviola or Pizarro on free sounds even better.

This is once in a life-time opportunity to stock-pile talent for virtually nothing, and I just cant believe our luck. We should make most of it, and let Bojinov go. But if we cant persuade aforementioned players, then we still have the option to sign, so we are not in a bad position at all.

i really like bojinov as a player, i see him easily becoming one of italy's best strikers in a few years time. if we can buy him for 4.5m i see absolutelly no reason why not to pick on that option, the only stumbling block is DD and i really hold it against him. i seriously hope he changes his mind.

you speak of getting amazing talent for free, saviola or pizarro, and tbh i'd love saviola here, i believe much more has to come from him, but you forget one important thing, their wages. if we're to sign saviola on a free i think we'd spend more money on his year's wages than on bojinov buy-out clause and his wages together. not to mention bojinov is accustomed to serie a and is just only 21! saviola is 25,26, pizarro 28,29.

honestly i wouldn't mind any of the above mentioned 2, but i really hope, for once, we take our chances and buy-out bojinov.

I like Bojinov as a player. I remember watching Fiorentina vs Parma last year, where he really shown his qualities. And amazingly his goal-scoring record wasnt too bad last season considering the off the pitch problems he had to go through. I believe he is a genuine goalscorer in this and with an ability to take on Andriy Sheva's mantle in Serie A.

Now my only issue with Bojinov is that ATM, we have two young players in him and Palladino on the bench. With youngsters, you either get amazing performance or downright dreadful ones. I think some established players like Saviola and Pizarro would really help our team (I prefer Saviola too :agree:). Their wages will be high no doubt (Pizarro with reported 4m Euro p.a is no go), but we can always sell them off with transfer fee which should more or less work out any high wages they are going to demand.

I guess, the key is how we can utilize Palladino. At this momemnt in time, it is important to give the lad week in week out playing time, and if Didi is intent on seeing develop down the left-flank, and eventually move him to forward position, I do think it is possible to have Bojinov and one more established striker within the squad with Palladino operating as a 5th striker, and primary back up to Nedved.

In the next 3 years i hope our attack/midfield will look something like this:

--------------------------Mavuba/Mascherano------------
----------------------Paro----------------------------------
Marchionni----------------------------------------Ribery(or Palla)--
--------------Palladino(or JK Huntelaar)---------------------------Bojinov

bojinov is somewhat of a light version cassano, enormously talented but immature and completelly impatient. he is a delicate player who needs to be taken care of, i believe he's a really good guy who'd give his all for this shirt if he got the chances. i don't think those words he said when he came here were just vain talking, this guy wants to make it here. i'm gonna continue hoping we won't screw it up with him untill the end.

making palladino generally a back-up for nedved, and a striker when need be, could work, we'd really get an extra striker spot free for, let's say saviola. that would be enourmous fire power upfront, i don't think there'd be enough games to make each of those strikers happy. having dp, trez, bojinov and saviola in attack has got to make one of them unhappy. :D though dp is expected to fall down in the pecking order in the following seasons merely because of his age.
whatever may be, having so much quality strikers requires some serious rotating and when you take in consideration there's no euro competitions for us next year, we're bound to have unhappy faces in the locker-room.

therefore for next season the best possible solution imo would be keeping our attack as it is, perhaps selling trez if he insists and getting someone similar klose or huntellar, and buying out bojinov's contract and playing him much more than this season. and of course getting robinho to roam on the flanks. :p

I too think DP is the one who are going to loose minutes here. Its a logical outcome because (1) natural degeneration through age, and (2) he is frequently injured. Personally, though I would like to have that enormous firepower, and strenghten our attack as much as possible. Trezeguet is bound to miss 1/4 of the season through some muscle pull, which might leave Zala as an emergency striker in case we have multiple injuries. I say midly, its not an option I fancy, even if I have a soft spot for Zala.

Having said that, I have no problem with Robinho or VDV patrolling down the wing and being an alternative to Nedved or Del Piero. I prefer Robinho as a striker, but we can gradually move him up, as Del Piero gives more room to younger studs. It will be interesting how our management manage the cash though.

I think Robinho would be best on the flanks, with his characteristics as a player.
I like to have a electrifying player in the middle. I have always felt the best players should play in the middle. One of the benefits of having Robinho up forward is that defence will be reluctant to push forward and dare strikers to beat their off-side trap, because of his pace to do so at their peril. Its massive benefits to have, especially in the away matches IMO. But the key is whether Robinho has the finishing touch to take advantage of his attributes. If he do so, I think he can be more skillful less powerful version Titi Henry.
