I'd agree with that as well, but, he shouldn't be first choice there going in to next season. Between right wing and up top he should get plenty of playing time.
No way Jose is only going to sign two players, one on a free. He is going to splash the cash.
My point is.. I don't think Ibra is good enough to be our de facto number one striker. I don't think Rashford is good enough either at this moment in time. To get top 4, Zlatan is enough.. but to win the Premier League??
When there are sides out there with likes of Sergio Aguero, Lewandowski, Suarez.. strikers in their prime, for United to get to that level in a short space of time, we too need a striker in his prime.. it will take our attack to the next level.
Ibra and Rooney? both are past their peak. For me Zlatan can still play CF to a good level, but is a title winning CF at this stage in his career, can he be the 30 goal a year man in english football? I would say no - glad to be proven wrong on this. Rooney for me has no business being at the club at CF.
Rashford is young and lernin but not at the level to be our go to option if the Zlatan signing doesn't quite work out.
We need a Griezzmann or Aubameyang, to revitalise our attack.
He's worth the risk for the year considering he's free and has no injury problems.
Not if he wants to play in the prem before he retires!
He turned down a new contract.
Obviously it wouldn't of been of lucrative as his expired one, but they did offer him the chance to stay and he has chosen to leave.
Of a fact, there are many that dislike him but these are opponents who have felt the wrath of Zlatan. One only has to look at the Swedish national team. He is miles ahead of them in terms of talent and ability and despite all the media talk of his ego, they all admire him because he is a real leader that fights for the shirt and his team mates with everything. It's remarkable how the younger players in clubs he has trained with say that he is an awesome mentor!
"You have no balls. Mourinho makes you shit your pants. Go to hell." - Zlatan to Pep during his Barcelona days.I have this strange feeling that City will sign him
If Zlatan signs for City I'll eat my own arse.
Each to their own, id expect 20 goals from Ibra next year which is modest compared to this season, when thats combined with 20 for martial and 15-20 from the RW(say mahrez) then we wont be reliant on a single scorer. Ibra is still every bit as good as those strikers on this seasons form tho.
This is a league in which Graziano Pelle has hit 12 and 11 goals in two seasons. Giroud has scored 57 goals in 135 games. Irrespective of his age and the higher intensity, in a good side (fingers crossed) Ibrahimovic should have no problems scoring goals in England.
This signing makes sense, personally speaking. Rashford will get plenty of games. We've got Martial and Memphis that can cover. Hopefully there'll be a new right sided attacker in the mix, too. We don't need three first team strikers.
He doesn't want to play the prem. He wants to win the prem, as he has done in every single league he played in.
Leicester won the league with just vardy and ulloa as the strikers. I think you're underestimating both rashford and Ibra a little
I'd rather someone who kicks players up the arse (physically and metaphorically) when the team isn't doing well than someone who sits there and claps because he thinks it's the taking part that counts.
Well yes there is that, but 4999 times out of 5000.. they wouldn't win the title, so in general football isn't that hard to predict and signing a top striker in their prime is a good guarantee of goals.
Jermain Defoe managed 15 goals for Sunderland at the age of 33 this season. Zlatan Ibrahimovic will just about cope, I reckon.
I think people are too caught up on Falcao (and probably Schweinsteiger) basically, the situation with Ibra is not the same in the slightest. He'd be coming to us off the back of a great season in France with no real signs of slowing down. Physically he's in great shape and he's never really relied on speed. His age shouldn't be a problem.
I love Zlatan but it's obvious his skills are on the down. I think he won't be as good as RvP the first two seasons but not as bad as his last one.
Maybe 20 goals all comps.

This is EXACTLY how I reacted to the signing of Bastian last summer, hahaha!
Can't believe next year they will be playing together AT UNITED.
Why do I not see him signing? Just can't see it.
If it were to happen though, I would absolutely fecking love it.

Lets not kid ourselves, he is a cnut, but he could be our cnut.
Is it?
As was Cantona. We really need to take up a siege mentality, far too many teams think we're there for the taking. He's perfect to illustrate that.
Why's he a cnut?
I would swear hes Italian
They clearly aren't on the down given he had his career best year last year. 51 goals is nothing to scoff at and even if he knocked in half that in the Prem, we would be far better off than we were this year.
Fixed
He is was born in Italy bought up in Holland.
Zlatan's friend just posted a picture taken on the private yet, with the wall-mounted display showing England as the destination. Done dealio.
Hes also shown live on Swedish TV at training.....
That's horrible. And I thought slavery was eradicated...
He was at training in Stockholm today. May be on the plane now.
new club should be the right one.
Can you post the picture here?
