Zlatan Ibrahimovic

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Not true. Not happening. Never Happening. Not wanted. Not on the radar. Not who we are signing.

Is this from the same source that gives mancini as a "dead man valking" just a month ago tolmie ?

You tell me, considering you seem to have me mixed up with somebody else.

So just to clarify, that's a "NO" then? ;)

Would rather keep Dzeko too, for obvious reasons... although it doesn't seem like he is staying, right? I really want him to stay, but it doesn't seem like he is going to, or am i wrong?

wow are you like that in real life too?

i wouldnt last one hour talking to you :)

Rather keep Dzeko

Keep Dzeko , I think Zlatan is to old and has only halve the skill of Dzeko and Dzeko is better in the air, if we get Hazard and keep A.J . Play with more flanking wide play to get in behind other teams with more crosses in to the box, its simple but it will get goals , because we only scored 93 in the league this year , just not good enough ;)

That's like saying Messi has only half the skills of Robben.


His best season in footbal was 08/09 with Inter. By far and away the best forward in the World that season. 29 goals in 44 matches, 10 or so assists, and a gazillion skills, and MOM perfoemances. Watch that video and then have the balls to say he has half of Dzeko's skills when the opposite is closer to the truth.

It's baffling how many people on Uk based footie forums disregard Ibra. I can't wrap my head around it.

Re; kippax kid- not true, for such a big guy zlatan can produce moments of brilliance, in terms of pure skill (footwork etc) dzeko doesnt come close.

thing is though fella like you say his best season in football was 08/09, if hes not come close since then, surely hes started his decline, we dont need players coming for theyre last paycheck now, we are/should be aiming for more agueros of the world, top class youngsters still to hit their prime.

 

[zeven]

INterFAnatic, Dont use you energy, PPL in UK are so ignorant about Zlatan its pathetic

from the outside its equal to them saying Ronaldo is overrated. the probalby would have if Ronaldo never played for United.


This myth and tag will never go away. you can show them stats, you can show them qoutes form his managers or team mates.

you can show them links to other fans forums where ppl who watch him every week have to say about him, it would still not be enough for them, because in their mind them already made up their opinion based on i dont know what. a couple of games in England

I think this season with Milan wasn't far behind. 35 goals & 13 assists in 42 matches. Statistically actually better. Certain parts of his game was better this season as well, movement, link up, passing, it's just that 08/09 was otherwordly. It felt like he scored a wondergoal almost every week.

He's definitly not on decline yet. Fair point on buying youngsters though.

Good god! what has crawled up your arse!!!
Peoples opinions differ wherever you go, its just on here most blues agree hes not right for us. If you want to spend your time on a city forum and harp on about a swedish player the tell us something we dont already know on guidetti

I agree with everything you say except one thing.

This last season was BY FAR his best. Not just because of all the goals, but how he's still developing as a player. He's matured a lot after the year in Barca and his playmaking skills are far above those of Messi and Ronaldo (look at hard stats - key passes, through balls e.t.c at whoscored.com).

He was honest and correct when he said a few weeks ago that he feels like an old wine - keeps getting better and better. He still hasn't peaked.

His playmaking is far above Ronaldo, but that's not difficult considering Ronaldo can barely pick out a teammate anymore. Ibra and Messi are close in regards to playmaking. Ibra is better at long range, quick, and creative passing, while Messi gets past opponents much easier and therefore finds himself in more positions where a simple cut back or pass leads to a big chance.

Ofcource opinions differ, but seriously dont you think the the majority of reactions from UK fans, are closer to comical than anything els.

its like you have the opinion of the world and those in the football industry and then you have the UK supporters.

WTF you think im in this thread because im born in Sweden? you think i rate Zlatan because hes swedish? Thats an insult and you should be ashamed of yourself to use that card. Not only do you question my loyality and support to City you also label me as selfish.

I would not approve a purchase of Ibra in the 25-30 million range and a salary of 300 K.

i would approve a swap deal including Tevez or Dezko not more, the primary reason im in here is to educate those who actually think hes shit when obviously hes not

I dont care about Guidetti, i think hes arrogant and not as good as he think he is, if he can produce like he did for the next 5 years i may change my opinion about him. I say sell him and cash in.

 

[InterFANatic]

You're saying 08/09 was better because... oh wait, what's your name? :-)

That's like saying you're saying Ibra is a good footballer because you're Swedish, assuming you are.

No, I think his 08/09 season was better precisely for the reason I stated. Every week he'd pop up with a wondergoal, or an amazing piece of skill or assist, very often when the match was in balance, and decide it for us.

Keep Dzeko , I think Zlatan is to old and has only halve the skill of Dzeko and Dzeko is better in the air, if we get Hazard and keep A.J . Play with more flanking wide play to get in behind other teams with more crosses in to the box, its simple but it will get goals , because we only scored 93 in the league this year , just not good enough ;)

I think Zlatan is way better player, but I would also keep dzeko bcs he is still young and still can learn and improve, but... Edin is not valuable if playing as non target man, and if roberto doesnt change tactics and put edin as 1st choice striker I cent see any progress...rather swap them i say...

 

[bapi]

Ibra is much better than Edin.

 

[brad147690]

Zlatan is much more skillful on the ball and can score more goals from range and weird angles than Dzeko.

 

[Ray78]

Ibra is much better than Edin.

At the moment. Edin could with the right guidance be at the same level as Ibra.
