Talking Miralem Pjanic

Miralem Pjanic


Personal Information:
Full Name-Miralem Pjanic
DOB-April 2nd 1990(He is 18)
POB-Bosnia and Herzegovina
Height-5"11inches(1m 80)
Position-Attacking Midfield
Club-Lyon
Number-18
Media Comparison-Touted as the next Hasan Salihamidzic

His Life
Miralem Pjanic was born in Tuzla in Bosnia however his family moved Luxembourg when he was still young because of the Bosnian War. He has a brother and a sister who live in Luxembourg with there mam and dad.
Club Career(so far)
Metz
Pjanic played for Luxembourg's youth sides as a teenager but in 2007 said he would like to play for Bosnia instead, his country of birth. He was a regular for French club Metz and attracted interest from all the top European clubs including Real Madrid, Arsenal, Inter Milan, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Fenerbahce. He is tipped as one of the biggest European talents of his generation!
While there wa slots of interest from big teams for him he decided he wanted to stay in France with Metz. He made his first appearance for them v.s PSG on August 17th 2007. Marseille seemed to be interested in him but he stated he doesn't care about the money and that he just wants to play football. He also said he only liked the French Leagues and Spanish Leagues(Unlucky EPL).
On 30th November 2007 Miralem signed a 3 year contract with Metz. His father swayed his decision to stay with Metz saying if his son moved to a bigger club he would be stuck on the bench and would lose his talents.
Lyon
On the 6th of June 2008 Pjanic signed for Lyon after the clubs agreed a fee of around 8million Euros plus clauses. He said" I am here to win trophies and that Lyon are a big team that can go far in this Champions League campaign."
International Career
Luxembourg
Miralem played in the 2006 European Championship for Luxembourg who were the hosts of the tournament. They only scored 1 goal in the tournament and it was Pjanic who scored it. It was a first time long range dipping effort that flew past the Spanish goalkeeper, Sergio Asenjo.
Bosnia and Herzegovina
After that wondergoal his name started to apper in Bosnian press. the local media criticising the Bosnian FA for not keeping an eye on the countries young talent. When interviewed by a Bosnian newspaper he claimed that he only wanted to paly for Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Bosnian FA took note and called him up to the U21 sqaud. However, he could not play for Bosnia as he did not have a Bosnian passport. An 8 month ordeal went on to get him this passport and he finally got it at the start of 2008. He said it was the happiest moment of his life and thanked everyone who helped him get it.
However, he was disappointed as he would not be able to play in the same team as Sergej Barbarez and Hasan Salihmidzic(both played for Luxembourg).

Here are some Youtube clips of him in action:
Pjanic Metz goal-
YouTube - Strasbourg-Metz, Pjanic scores 0:3
Pjanic Focus-
YouTube - Miralem Pjanic Platinum Player

On Football Manager


As you can see he is an unkown player on FM and I never knew about him until the Media recommended him to me. I managed to get him for 500k for my Man City team and let him make his debut v.s Bradford in the League cup where he scored a hat rick!
I was then playing at the Emirates when Elano got injured so i chucked him on and he scored 5 minutes after coming on. He is very cheap and is definetly one for the future.

Strengths
He has no stats on FM but after playing him I believe that he is very good at Long shots and Finishing. He is also very good at passing as he claimed an assist for me v.s Bradford aswell.
I can't really say any of his weaknesses as he got 9's in both games i played him in.

Positions


His best position is attacking midfield however you could train him to play Centre Midfield. When I had him at Man City I had Elano tutoring him and I would highly recommend if you don't send him out on loan to get a good player tutoring him.
Personal




Conclusion
I would highly recommend Miralem Pjanic to any team as he is a wonderkid. Give him a couple of seasons and he will be worth a fortune. He would be great for Championship clubs at the start and would be a good addition for any Prem team even the big 4. Although I would recommend loaning him out so he can get some match practice.
I would give him a 9.5/10

So now you have read my guide go out and buy him!


I made this guide for FmFormation and only want it to be used on this site. please do not post it on other sites and claim it as your own work.

Thanks for Reading.

Good guide, some slight mistakes but we'll call that a days work. As for the stats, if at the beginning of making a new game, tick one of the boxes (forgot which one) something like Uncover stats or whatever u cans ee the stats no matter where you are.


Current Game: Blackburn Rovers
Season 1
- Playing
