I'm not impressed by any of those videos.
He dosnt look like anything special at all, this talk of 30m + robbie would be unbelievably bad.
Wouldnt pay more than 25m total and thats assuming robbie is worth roughly 15m.
Balotelli & Tevez > Ibra
1st, Hey everyone, Inter fan here. Just cruisin the web reading up on how the city fans are leooking at the prospect of signing Ibra. Hope y'all don't mind an Inter fan bugging you.
Don't worry I won't be around much anyways. .)
2nd, this post annoyed me a bit. You'd think I'd be used to it with 10 years of English criminally underating his talents, but guess not. You're telling me you're not impressed with that second video? He played for 90 minutes total in that vid (45+45 min), with Barca's B team and scored two well taken goals, and could and probably should easily of had 2 assists + a few other half chances created.
That's not impressive for a less than half fit player, in 90 minutes?
Maybe this is more impressive then: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbmOpXDoTo4[/youtube]

Anyways, all his goals and assists aside. Maybe you'll be more impressed if he does sign for you and you start noticing that he doesn't always score hatricks, or doubles, and isn't always awesome, but has an odd knack of always scoring, or creating or directly assisting the number of goals needed to win his team the match. Even, at Barca he almost always scores when they're behind, and there his true talent is not even being used right, he's just stuck inside the box.
His true talent is that he's able to trap an insecure pass, hold on to it and let his team advance in positions. He does this just standing still, which isn't needed at Barca because the they just pass their way around. In fact there it looks like he's slowing down the play. A less talented team, or any other team except Barcelona really, having a player like that, who can do that, and score goals and create assists from nowhere, is invaluable. That's the reason he always win league titles. Every manager has used him this way except Pep, who honestly doesn't know what to do with him. Even Mourinho, who's notorious for organization, realized it was best to give him a free role.
Someone very famous once said, "Ibrahimovic doesn't run football, he walks it, and that's all he needs to dominate". Maybe you'll understand if you're lucky enough to have him sign for you.
As for giving barca Robinho. Not gonna happen. They don't want him. Guardiola and the club have made that clear on a few occasions. If you wnat him you have to pay up.
Regarding Balotelli, who's another of our players: He's gonna piss you off, but have patience with him. It's not easy being a black kid in Italy. He's got his chips on his shoulders, but once he grows out of it he'll dominate. Promise.
Rambled on long enough...
