Wishlist Zlatan Ibrahimovic

[Pizy 17,860]

Don't necessarily think signing a stop-gap or two for this coming season would be a bad thing. We need to ensure we finish in the CL places at all costs.

After Drogba, Zlatan is my all time favorite striker so I'd have him here for a year or two no questions asked. He's still highly effective and would destroy the majority of PL defenses. He's also a player who opposing teams fear even if he's not scoring. Just his huge presence is intimidating and forces defenders to remain weary.

Unfortunately, I think he'll follow Mourinho to United.

Wouldn't mind him as a stop-gap either if we sell Costa. He'd light a fire under other players' butts with his attitude and status. Doesn't rely on pace, still in exemplary physical shape despite age, clinical finisher. Legendary striker. And his nose still hasn't reached England.

He's scored lots of goals everywhere he's played 

Eto'o was doing the same as well but he didn't turn out so great for Chelsea

Because Eto'o used to rely on his pace.

I thought Eto'o did well here!

I love Zlatan's brand of arrogance.

However, I can't see him willing to be out of the CL.  I see him at Utd or Bayern.  He hasn't played in England or Germany, I think he'll be in one of those leagues next.  He's still too good for MLS

Zlatan Ibrahimovic could join Antonio Conte in London this summer as ACMilan look set to miss out on their former star. (GdS)

I thought he was average I expected more from eto'o when he joined Chelsea but his hat trick against utd was a lovely moment tho

I would rather sign a young striker like Dybala. I really don't like Ibrahimovic, he is similar to Mourinho and likes to speak garbage to the press.

True but he is still a ''legend''. He spices up the football world.

Wouldnt take him now, considering he is slowly going down, mostly because right now, we need different type of players, either young or those who can give us at least few good years of top football. With Ibra, we would have stop gap, but next season, we would have to rebuild again and so and so on.

But a fun player to watch.

Eto'o relied on his pace to get goals, Torres relied on acceleration . Zlatan is more like Drogba who uses his size and strength although Zlatan has more skills than anyone I've just mentioned.

Stop gap, after stop gap, after stop gap.

Buy and introduce young and hungry players and stop fucking about with the likes of this guy.

Normally I'd agree completely but Zlatan is still one of the 5 best strikers in the world despite his "old" age. Him firing us into the top 4 on a 1 year contract and then fucking off to MLS for one last mega contract doesn't sound bad at all.

What a morale boost to our current players it would be to see Zlatan swagger through the door at Cobham. If only...

It may also be a massive kick in the nuts for a kid like Traore who has already shown he can not only compete, but score too.

Would playing second fiddle behind Zlatan be any different from playing second behind Costa, though? If Conte sets up similarly to how he has in the past we'll need plenty of strikers.

I agree with u on this one mate we should go for Embolo instead of ibra I know he's young and inexperienced but look the way martial has paid off at utd and I think Embolo could do the same at Chelsea

I fully expect the club to send out Traore because if Zlatan walks through the door he's immediately down the pecking order. I want the kid to learn on the field, not just the training field.

Yeah, I could see that. Don't think we have a chance at signing him so you can breath easy.
