said he would be a disaster at barca and he has been. 16 goals in 30 games sounds ok then you looks at the barca team and the chances they create.
heskey would get 20 goals a season in that team. they paid 40million plus eto who got 40 goals in his last season there. one of the worst bits of transfer business of all time.
will get less goals than ade in the prem and make robinho look like a brilliant signing hope we run a mile from this one
I'd accept that if there was any reasoning behind it, but you're clearly just making shit up to prove a point. Truth is he's done okay, and very good for a first season in a new country. He was absolutely brilliant all autumn, just the magnificent striker Barca paid for. He's not been anywhere near that level this spring though, but he's definitely played a big part in them winning the league.

Just what part of that is made up ? I said in numerous threads on here last summer that it would be a disater swapping Eto for him + £40 million one of the worst bits of transfer business of all time.
How can he be classed as anything but an enourmous failure getting less than half the goals of the player he replaced and costings 3 times as much ++++
Not suited to the english game, not really suited to the spanish game. The italian league is not that strong OK Inter won the Chamipons league but they also have the best manager in the world plus eto and £40 million from that deal which basically completely financed the rebuilding of that CL winning side.
Barca have had him for less than a year and seen enough. They now want to find some mug side to pay almost as much as they did so they can sign Torres who is 10 times the player.
I dont want him at city will be an enourmous Robinho like flop and is no better than what we already have in Ade, I would actually say worse as Ade has years of experience in the prem and has proven he can score 15 - 20 goals a season in the league.
The question is when when will we learn that we dont need to sign dickheads like Robinho, we are better off signing the Kompanys, Botangs, Dejongs, Milners and Artenta type of players young to youngish. Still hungry want to win things. Hardworking right sort of attitude.
Not just interested in earning £200k a week and will move on if the wind blows in the wrong direction.
We sign Ibrahimovic he will be a Robinho like disaster you read it here first.

You can't compare Ibra to Eto. When Eto came to Barca he had already played 5 years in la liga, He didn't had to change to a new country, new language and a new league wich Ibra has had to do.
and Ibra has had the 4th best debut season ever in Barcas history, how can that be a failure?
No, wait until next season and see, If he doesn't do better next year than we can talk about failure? But before that..no!
alera said:Good I really do hope he stays at Barca.
Anyone that thinks £40 million and Eto for this guy is anything but an epic failure is completely insane.
Not as insane as thinking he would do a decent job at a club like City in the prem though.
He wont get the time on the ball he needs to play his game in England. He wont like the weather. He wont like the city of Manchester, the culture the country, the climate. He wont like the style of football we play over here.
Sometimes its easy to see the transfers that will be a complete and utter failure if they happen. This is one such transfer.
I dont want him at city under any circumstances personally. I would much rather keep Ade, Tevez and Bellamy and we may as well stick with RSC on the off chance we can ever get him fit rather than sign this guy for daft money.
Just my opinion, he doesnt really add anything that we dont already have I cant see any circumstances where he would score more goals than Ade in the prem over the course of a season, so signing him would be a complete exercise in futility.

As long as I dont have to watch him play at city next season I am happy !
