571 goals and assists in 582 games in his career.
341 goals and assists in 330 games since he came to Europe.
74 goals and assists in 75 Champions League games.
It's very hard to look past those numbers.
That combined with being a serial winner with 25+ trophies won during his career, winning trophies for every team he has ever played for, at both club level and in the national team. At the age of 30, he has won at least one trophy every single season as a professional, averaging winning 2 trophies/season. Insane numbers, especially when you consider he apparently is lazy, has a bad attitude, no work ethic, no ambition and apparently is a bad influence in the dressing room destroying the team spirit, at least thats what I read on this forum. It truly is a miracle how he manages to win everywhere he goes when he, apparently, is having such a negative impact on everyone around him.
I would take him in a heartbeat, the guy is one of the best players in the world, and would suit our style of football perfectly. Just watch clips of what Pep thinks of him, he absolutely loves him.
With that said, I dont think we will sign him, his salary is just to high.
