Personally I don't understand what he is talking about, because I can remember Pep gave Bojan plenty chances to prove himself which I think he did to a good extent, especially towards the end of 2010 season when he benched Ibrahimovic, but let the truth be told, Bojan is not Barca's first team striker material simple.
He doesn't have that consistency required to perform as Barca striker. Who agrees with me? Read all Bojan's father said after the cut and tell us what you think?
"Guardiola didn't give him continuity," he told the Mail on Sunday. "In the Copa del Rey, Bojan was the top goalscorer for Pep. He would score one or two goals in La Liga and then not play for weeks, it is very curious.
"In the title run in in 2010 he kept [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic on the bench. Bojan played and scored at Sevilla and Tenerife, they were decisive goals. And then at the end of the season they signed David Villa."
He then hinted at dressing room unrest inside the club as his son was preferred to several high profile players, adding: "They were international stars, they saw a little boy starting games.
"Sometimes Ronaldinho was on the bench and Bojan starts. You can imagine? It became very difficult, he wasn't welcomed in by everyone."
For all of his struggles in recent seasons, Bojan has begun to reproduce the form that marked him out as one of Europe's hottest prospects, with two Premier League goals in 11 league appearances for Stoke.
"At Stoke, he is playing like an animal. He saves his best for the big games.
"He loves Mark Hughes and his training sessions are creative. He is playing behind the forward and he has the freedom to express himself but he is fighting for the team, too.
"He chases everything, he works for the team. Against Arsenal, he ran and ran.
"My boy has suffered a lot in football. Too much. But it
is a very long time since I have seen Bojan this happy. He is truly
content at Stoke and, as a father, that's a warm feeling."
