Only it is... he's literally still improving year upon year. The opposite of declining. To decline you have to show signs of getting worse. He hasn't.

He's getting older. I think that's the word you are looking for, older.

I'm sure Twigginator is the internet's biggest WUM.
 
I mean yes. That is how I feel. I don't think that is a ridiculous stance either really.
Jesus, we aren't signing the bloke for 5+ years and building our team around him. He's here for the short term. He's not just a goalscorer, he's phenomenal in the build up too. The lazy 'age' argument has been used against him since he hit 30, and every year he proves everyone wrong. Why don't we base his performances on last season/this Euros, rather than assuming that because he's in his thirties, he must be done. As it stands, his legs have not gone, he is a world class CF, as he has proven for years, and he's set to come to United coming off his best season. Wow, what a shite signing...

It is when you obviously do not follow him, because everyone who does will tell you he is not declining. He may soon, but has not shown any indication yet. But perhaps you know better despite all this.

I don't think he's getting better though. I think he's playing in a more dominant team.
 
Sportbild is reporting talks with Bayern but Sportbild is very unreliable.

How much of PSG did you watch last year?

Because to assert that he's declining even though he's just scored 51 goals in a year you must have some pretty solid reasoning to back your claim up?

What traits is he showing that suggest a decline?

Is there anything you can justify the idea with other than his date of birth?

Not really. He scored 11 goals for Sweden in a calendar year 2015, his highest ever tally. Played 51 games for PSG last season, his highest ever. Scored 5 goals in CL, his second best tally in champions league.

I can somewhat understand his logic eventhough his previous posts about how Raffael being better than Zlatan was laughable. You can maybe compare the past season of Zlatan's with Ronaldo's of the past few years. They've both lost a lot of pace, but they've become more clinical finishers.

Yeah, they have improved other aspects of their game. It's not a coincidence they get so many scoring chances (having better team helps though).

Not sure what's the risk in this deal. He had his best season in terms of goals scored and on a short term deal.
 
Already having nightmares of Twigg bumping this thread in a year with old quotes.
 
Bild reckon he is off to.....
BAYERN!
Bayern do know how to shit on our pizza.
 
Makes sense that Zlatan wants to win the CL.
Unless Bayern sell Lewandowski, i doubt Zlatan is interested.
I think he fancies having the PL title on his CV, and with Mourinho at United, i think both PL and CL is possible in 2 years.
I am not saying that i personally think it will happen, but it is possible.
Would be a nice final challenge for him.
Think he has 2 good years left in him.

Signing Ibra without anyone knowing would be a Bayern thing. Not signing Ibra when linked and reportedly done over a summer would be a Man Utd thing..

Tbh i would not be surprised if Bayern sold Lewandoski (or just kept him) to Real for a ridiculous fee and signed Ibra as the short term solution. But i guess i am starting to become paranoid! Silly season at it's best
 
Real will sign Pogba (who is wanted by both Zidane and Perez) this summer IMO, I can't quite imagine they will be able to pull of another €100m transfer in Lewandowski as well – especially after Rummenigge said that Lewandowski is going nowhere. Which in return means they definitely won't sign Zlatan. They are loaded upfront as it is...
 
Jesus it's done calm down. We have had a thousand reports of Zlatan to United being a done deal yet one report from Germany and it's all over.
 
If he ends up going to Bayern then it wasnt meant to be, I want him, but best case scenario is one season and 30 goals. Am i really gonna lose my shit for the sake of one year. We need a team that can play, where the frontman isnt the be all and end all (kind of like when Bayern had Gomez/Mandzukic they were so well set up that i could have played up front).

We dont get him?, we move on. Simples.

Lets not compare this set of circs to say a 28 year old Zlatan etc.
 
Highly unlikely bayern will buy him. Even taking aside the fact that they have muller and lewandowski anyway, they won't ever buy someone who is egotistical like ibra. Plus no way they are paying his wages when all they need is someone as backup for muller and lewa which ibra won't be happy with as much as he likes ancelotti. I don't see ibra being happy Winning the CL having no major part to play in their success.
 
Honestly it wouldn't surprise me. I reckon Mourinho is in for somebody like Morata or Icardi.
 
Real won't buy Lewandowski this summer. They'll get Pogba this year, then go for whoever the current superstar winger is next year for their attack.
 
He says he already knows where he is going. So I suspect if it's Bayern it has always been Bayern. Therefore I reckon it's nonsense and he's coming here.
 
Ibra would be well suited to Bayern and German football. Very similar to being at PSG. Only thing is they currently have a striker who is better than him. Unless Lewandowski has requested a move this is a no go.
 
Bayern won't pay his ages nor are they a club who make these type of signings. Don't think you have anything to be worried about.
 
He's coming to United. I have no doubt about that. Bayern won't sell Lewa this summer. They are not a club who get bullied around by others. They only sell players when they want to sell them.
 
They've just 'broke' the news on SSN that he'll sign for United. He'll have a medical once Sweden are out the Euros.

All according to their sources, obviously.
