Well screw everyone who doesn't rate Ibrahimovic, title winner at ajax, juve and inter. Voted forign player of the year in his first season at Juve, Player of the year for Inter.

He will keep proving people wrong.

Martin O'Niell is clueless. I remember his rant about the injured ibrahimovic, exactly the kind of thing i would expect from a man who was in love with chris sutton and john hartson.

Larsson is a legend and i wonder what he would say about Ibrahimovic, i wonder what the people who actually matter think of Ibrahimovic. Ask your current england manager or your former one (successful Sven not Clown McLaren) what they think of Ibrahimovic and then tell me they are clueless and tell me they couldn't see tallent and that they havent proben themselves time and again as being top class managers.

It strikes me that the people who don't rate certain players don't watch the league they are involved in. "Italian football is slow and defensive" if that is your opinion then give up.

Larsson has always rated Ibrahimovic.. And Ibrahimovic has always preferred playing alongside Larsson in the national team..

Ibrahimovic obviously has the talent, it has been shown over and over again. His problem is that he disappears in some games, there is no consistency, and if he doesn't perform against the big teams thats what he will be judged on..

Agreed.
 
I think you need to deal with the fact that a lot of people thinks that Zlatan is crap. While you clearly have a hard on for him and would like to have his kids, a lot of other people don't. Deal with it.
 
Oh please stop it ffs. Have I said he's the second coming of God, have I said he's the best player in the world history of football? I'm just saying HE'S NOT A BAG SHITE.

Well, some people think he is. So deal with it.

Sweden are shit, wouldn't matter if they had Ronaldo, they would still be shit.

Also i think the fact his name is Zlatan Ibrahimovic and it is bosnia where his family come from might have something to do with his average performances at international level.

Christ you lot are deluded, your very own Don Fabio rates him extreamly highly but then again he must be totally clueless, a crap manager, no idea about football if he rates Ibrahimovic as a good player. When clearly he is just a lazy over-rated big twat.

He has a whole in his knee and has been playing with risk of serious injury for the past month.

What the hell is this supposed to mean you racist cnut??
 
He was born and raised in Sweden and that makes him Swedish. He said that he had only been in Bosnia once and that was when he was 8 years old. And his performance for Sweden at the EC 2004 was more than just average.
 
I hate it when people claim he isn't Swedish, it's just such an ignorant comment to make. Some of my closest mates are born here but have foreign parents and they are no less Swedish then me. Look at the France team at the WC '98. Was Thuram*(along with half of their team) less of a Frenchman than Deschamps? And how many generations back would you have to have lived in a country to be a 'true' citizen? Maybe Sol Campbell isn't English either?

EDIT

*Zidane would be a better example. Grew up in the suburbs of Marseilles - the French equivalent of Malmö, has foreign parents and became the best player of his country. French non?

No one is saying that he isn't swedish. The claim here is that he isn't performing because he doesn't feel for the country.. which is crap IMO.
 
He can't make wonders with the Swedish team, which isn't worldclass.

I think what he means is that since zlatan is originally from bosnia he has no tie with sweden and therefore doesn't try as hard as he would if he played for bosnia. That's my interpretation of it anyways.

That's what I was responding to and I've seen similar remarks made a number of times before. I do realise mr ecantona7 didn't claim this to be true himself though.

I just saying to mihajlovic what my interpretation of that poster's quote he was quoting was. I in no way was implying that zlatan doesn't care for sweden.

It sounds to me as he meant something along what WesBrown said

No, i think he's saying Bosnians are lazy cnuts, which is 100% correct, in fairness. (Pisstake, obviously)

Although Im not sure it was a pisstake really, but who knows.
 
Ok your accusations were totally out of line. My point was maybe because his family are from bosnia he doesn't feel 100% swedish and therefore doesnt give his all for sweden.

Where did i say it was because Bosnians are a bunch of lazy cnuts?

If you read any of my previous posts you would see that i am a Ibrahimovic fan be him bosnian, swedish or what not. Swedes seem to have a bad attitude what with Lungberg, Melberg and Ibrahimovic out on the piss and having fights during training so maybe it's a swedish thing.

Anyway, his performance against Palermo was average, exellent assist but wasn't quite with it for the rest of the game. Still a decent performance, nowhere near what he's capable of.
 
Zlatan won Serie A for Inter today with 2 goals :)

He can't stop winning the domestic leagues.
 
The 'expert' on Swedish TV said he thought Zlatan might be ready to move on to Spain or England. Sign him up, Fergie :smirk:
