Quality footballer but would be the wrong fit at our club.
Only a year ago I would have agreed with you, but this year he has taken a deeper role in the squad formation, building up play instead of heading the attack up front, which he still can do though.
He has matured a lot and become more even in his performances quality wise. Still he has that impeccable desire and hunger to win, at all costs but now mantles the responsibility of a creator, an assister more than the finisher (and even so he won the golden boot in Italy)
He seems to have become even stronger as well, very much noticeable this Euro tournament, with the likes of Terry, our Joleon, M'Vila all being without a chance against the big Swede.
So I'm thinking Ibra playing in the hole behind Aguero would be fantastic.
However, he does not have the stamina to take on defensive duties like Teves does for example. He's too big and heavy for that and his physique just wont allow it. He always gives his all though.
As for his relationship with Mario, well... Ibra is a lion acting like a lion, Mario is a sheep acting like a lion. Zlatan will NEVER accept the shit Mario tends to pull off now and then and I'm sure he would have a positive effect on Mario's attitude. He could be the mentor Mario requires in order to move from okay to brilliant, if possible at al.
So, I'd love to see Ibra playing for us but I'm having a very hard time seeing it. He loves Italy and Milano and would cost a fortune.
