He will be sold according to Koeman
Zlatan Ibrahimovic told to leave
- Thread starter An Extremely Boring Man
- Start date
pfff.....another David Ginola <img src="graemlins/nono.gif" border="0" alt="[No No]" />
Is he very impressive in header ? ... he's 194m in height ... I bet he's probably 2nd to Koller only for that ... If Becks curling cross can find his head everytime - we will enjoy some real goal fest !! 
and I read that's he's very silky with his feet ... anyone to second that ? ... Don't think he'll be "crazily" expensive that's probably a good point ...

194m ??!!
People talk about Ibrahimovic as if he's the perfect player on the pitch but a cnut and that's what's stopping him from being one of the world's best.
Well IMO he might be a cnut but that's not all that's stopping him.
He's hardly the most complete player there is. For a player of his size he doesn't know at all how to use his body and for a player who is supposed to be a 'target man' he doesn't hold up the ball all that well. Not only that but he's been shown up to be a shit finisher in Holland and I've seen him miss more than enough sitters.
So yes, he has incredible technique for his size and loads of tricks up his sleeve but he doesn't at all have "target man" qualities. He doesn't work that hard on the pitch, he's not that good in the air, he doesn't take his chances, etc
Of course he can and probably will work on that in the future but it'll take him a few years IMO before he really becomes a player of great quality.
He has all the "special" things but he doesn't have any of the basic requirements that a CFWD needs.

People have been talking about Zlatan's need to get his head sorted out, but I honestly believe that his attitude problems were something of importance two years ago. He has been very fine about not being picked regularly at Ajax, and he is third choice in the national team and he is fine with that too. He just says he will work harder and become better and then he'll be anybody's first choice. Just look at his performances when he has come on for Sweden in the past two-three games: pure international class. I am sure he could do the job for any team, United and Liverpool included.
