MUFC Champions 2006/2007: Where will the goals com
His name has crept up recently in terms of summer target. He seems to off impressed many people, cant say im one of them, but most that have seem to rate him very higly.

Just wondering what people thought of him here, good enough for United or just simply a good player?

Off the field antics and can be prone to childish behaviour, likes to throw his toys out of the pram a bit.Quite a big guy too 6'3 i think needs to put himself about a bit and use his size more.Has very good feet for such a tall man though.Just my opinion though others may disagree.

Seems to have calmed down a bit lately under Koeman. Had difficulty with the transition the first year, from being the main star in Malmo to just another player in Ajax. Think he needs to play a few seasons and establish himself in the dutch league before he is good enough for United. He has had a good spell now, but consistency is what is the difference between class players and others.

Not better than Kezza, but both not good enough for you.

Zlatan is a great player... he can become even a better player than Ruud.

He is the type of player that cannot partner Ruud, since he plays in the same position and we all know that we don't need this.

I'd prefer Ronaldinho as our 4th striker. :cool: Get him Fergie! Or both.

40 mb video. He's got skills.

EDIT: this link will not always work as sometimes the site has exceeded its transferlimit. In that case you'll have to try later.

Great movie, saw it a few months ago. It proves he really can play with a ball, but his problem last year was the tempo of the game. It all went to fast for him, now not anymore, now he's great!

Definitely!! He has much more talents as Ruud, only Ruud is getting everything possible out of his carreer, if Zlatan does the same too, he will definitely be bigger than Ruud...

Nah, just reading some stupid post about a very overrated player. Even Faber could handle him!!!

In this case if you read my reply carefully I was also critical on our own player Faber. He's a reasonable defender, but defenitely not good.
And I think it says enough that Zlatan hasn't scored very much in the Dutch league yet...

But of course our league is famous for the tough opponents and very excellent defenders... <img src="graemlins/smirk.gif" border="0" alt="[Smirk]" />

He has a lot of skill for such a strong, lanky figure. I'd welcome him as long as he didn't try too many tricks instead of passing to others.

Too arrogant for my liking. Bound to clash with Fergie.

Thats his big problem, he does too many clever thing in harmless areas, ie at the sides etc. Its rarely youll see him take a pass in the box, turn his player & smash it home. If he did and he has the ability to hed be great, at the moment hes a liability to a team imo.
