No youre wrong as usual. Pedro was 28 and isn't a striker.

Which is why I specifically mentioned his recent Champions League, and national team stats? Or is that too lowly to be compared with almighty PL?
With that kind of reasoning we shouldn't sign a top ten player because of what happened with Di Maria. Every player comes with a risk, some pay off, some don't.
Yeah pretty much.
I present this video of the day that PSG won the Ligue Un title without comment
What does this even mean - 'pretty much'? Care to expand on you point?
I don't think international goals or goals in CL group stages mean that much.
I agree about it being extremely competitive. But that still doesn't mean that every player who comes there will automatically struggle.
It's not like great players become worse if they face better teams twice a month instead of once in a while.
Especially not if they play in a team competing for the title (fingers crossed).
So basically, according to you - league goals don't matter, Champions League goals don't matter, and wait for it... international goals don't matter either. Stunning logic.
But goals against Bournemouth and Norwich mean everything
Forget his talent, worldclass ability and all of that. The fact that he had such an amazing season in the french league alone should be good enough for such a free transfer. I can't believe people are saying it means nothing in that league. It's not like the MLS. The french league is a very respected European league maybe just a step below the likes of La Liga, Premier League and Bundesliga.

Yeah.
When discussing how Zlatan will perform in the Premier League I don't think goals in Ligue Un counts. It's not good enough IMO.
.
If goals in international games matter, everyone here would be buzzing about Wayne Rooney still.
Also, people are obsessed with young age. In our situation, with a few young and promising strikers, we need someone of Zlatans age: rotate the striking position with Rashford/Martial easing them in, rubbing his world class ability on them and by the team he's 36/37, Rooney can take his role.
People just always want a 26 year old in his prime not understanding the full situation.

Mahrez just came from the French league and won player of the year. Hazard did the same thing the year before. Tony Martial has been tearing s-t up after coming from the French league. Not sure why some people think Zlatan will fare worse. Especially given Zlatan's been scoring in the Champions League too.
So if we signed Messi everything he has done before wouldn't count because he's never played in the premier league?
You forget Zlatan has scored wherever he has played and for whoever he has played for, he's not some one season wonder from the French league.
Isn't it the whole picture that counts ?
League games, cup games, european games, international games, all opportunities for a player to shine.
So Wayne Rooney is the be all, end all argument that all other players should be judged by?
You don't believe in judging each individual players situation, uhm.. individually?
Yeah and as I've said. A 30/31 year old Zlatan would be a different proposition.
If only we'd had someone to score some goals that didnt count in the group stages this year, maybe we would've got out of our group.
If we want Rashford to be the future, it's perfect to sign Zlatan. Had we signed Auba or Lewa it would be more worry for Rashford as they would be likely to stay here many years.
Why? He is in arguably the best form of his life. You are so illogical it hurts my eyes reading this shit.
John Hartson drooling about him in the game against Wales.
Is Zlatan playing now?
Yes, but it's against Wales so it doesn't count going by some of the logic here.
Logic:
Being able to sprint 90 metres in 9 seconds for the past ten years of your life does not, in any way, say anything about your ability to sprint 100 metres. You could do it in anything from 10 seconds to 100 seconds, we can't tell. 90 metres just is not good enough.
RVP could no longer do it in the PL because of his age and he was younger than Zlatan so it is a risk to rely on a 34 year old to be the primary goal scorer of a team that is aiming to win the PL, but I personally think he's a great signing because we need a short-term striker (until Rashford is ready) and Zlatan is probably the best option out there. If Jose plays Martial and Rashford as inside forwards then I think that front three could be fantastic. I also don't see Zlatan playing every game which hopefully means Rashford will continue to get plenty of game time in his best position upfront. Fantastic signing in my opinion. 
Nah, it was because of the injuries in RvP's case. Zlatan has not had injury trouble and is in his best form ever.RVP could no longer do it in the PL because of his age and he was younger than Zlatan so it is a risk to rely on a 34 year old to be the primary goal scorer of a team that is aiming to win the PL, but I personally think he's a great signing because we need a short-term striker (until Rashford is ready) and Zlatan is probably the best option out there.

Rooney is in the way.
@Twigginater still open for a bet?
1-0 Sweden. Zlatan assist. He's so good.
Fantastic skill and vision for his assist vs. Wales there.
Just got an assist, but that's irrelevant according to @Twigginater.
Well done Zlatan..
Yup, it doesn't count because it's not against a world class team.
It was a nice assist, the bastard.
@Twigginater what's the ratio at which you think we can quantify Zlatan's goals? IMO it's 1 PL goal for every 20 in Ligue 1, 1 per 10 in Serie A and 1 per 5 in La Liga.
No idea on a ratio, just think he'll find it a lot harder over here.
