2011/2012 summer transfer window team – Strikers (Part 3)
There are other strikers who left their club this season and are going to be proving their worth elsewhere. The German legend Miroslav Klose and the Barcelona youngster Bojan Krkic both left their respective clubs and they are now going to be a part of new
teams in the coming season.
The German star http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Miroslav-Klose-c26049 is near his retirement but he still managed to sign a new contract with the Italian side Lazio. Lazio are trying to make a name for themselves in the Italian Serie A. With a few signings this season, Lazio are going to try
and change their status in the league’s points table.
Miroslav Klose was a part of the German side Bayern Munich and he couldn’t really impress while playing for them. Klose did not manage to score a lot of goals for the German club last season and gave out only 26 appearances.
From those 26 appearances, 20 were in the German Bundesliga. In 20 appearances, Klose only managed to score 1 goal. Klose also appeared 4 times in the German Cup and scored 3 times, keeping a good goal scoring record in the competition. He also appeared
in the UEFA Champions League twice and scored 1 goal.
With this sort of a performance and with his contract expiring, Klose decided to join the Italian club http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904.
Another striker who left his club this season is http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029.
The Catalan coach Josep Guardiola tried to make space for Bojan in the starting line-up but he couldn’t score when it was required. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 and Bojan was benched
for most of the season. In fact, Bojan did not seem to be in Guardiola’s plans as the season continued.
The Spanish youngster mostly featured in Cup games and played alongside youth players. He got a chance to impress in a few games but he took a lot of time to settle on the pitch and couldn’t really do much while coming off the bench.
Last season, Bojan Krkic made 38 appearances while coming off the bench. The Spaniard managed to score 7 goals and 6 of those goals were scored in the Spanish La Liga. He appeared 5 times in the Copa Del Rey and scored only once.
Barcelona managed to sell him to Roma where he will be joining Luis Enrique – his coach in Barca B.
The contact between the two sides has a clause which allows Barcelona to buy him back after two years. Currently, Bojan has been sold to the Italian side for 12 million Euros and Barcelona have an obligation to buy him back for 13 million Euros after two
years. However, in case http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 want him to stay in their side, they will have to pay an additional 28 million Euros.
