Us being linked with Zlatan has got me thinking about how good a striker he is and has been for club and country. He is one of those players though that is just below the elite players such as Messi and Ronaldo. Another one of those players in my opinion is Eto'o. Both top quality players, but who was better?
That famous transfer of 40 million pounds (or something, can't quite remember the fee) + Eto'o for Zlatan obvisouly was in favour of Eto'o as Eto'o went on to win the champions league and Zlatan despite winning the league, wasn't favoured by Guardiola and so wen't back to Italy, this time with AC Milan.
They may have different skill sets - Eto'o is fast and tricky where as Zlatan is strong and central to the team's performance but both undeniably knew where the back of the net was. The reason I am comparing them is I just believe there are in that class below the likes of Messi and Ronaldo. That and their careers have been sort of paralleled to each other, especially with that Inter - Barca switch.
So who do we think is better? Who would you rather have on your team?
EDIT: From Wikipedia Eto'o has 323 goals and 81 assists in 673 club appearances. Zlatan has 392 goals in 677. But you would have to factor in that Zlatan has played in more dominant sides, Ajax, Both Milan's (except the 2011-12) and Paris.
