Zlatan Ibrahimovic

[Dougieboy 0]

Did you hear the price they've put on his head ?

£76m

I wouldnt pay 76p for him. Biggest over rated player around at present.

Spot on m8, the guy is a waste of space. He is a lazy sod, never chases a ball and his style wouldnt suit the prem anyway.

STAY AWAY.

Zlatan is great and I wouldn't mind him instead of Drogba. Drogba + Deco for him would be ok for me.

Your opinion sucks, please give your head a hobble.

In some strange reason that over-rated player was top goalscorer in Serie A with 25 goals..

IMO Drogba isn't better than him + he is an injury prone.

I'm sure that price tag is just a bluff.. In that case they would want Drogba + about £50 million for him, but obviously they would sell him for less.

And signing Zlatan doesn't mean we wouldn't go for Agüero..

No way is Ibra better than Drogba. I don't rate Drogba that much, but even I admit that Drogba is a much better player, and a more consistent performer than Ibrahimovic. Drogba knows how to score in the big games, and can handle pressure, unlike Ibrahimovic, who always falls at the first hurdle against the bigger clubs.

I'm sorry, but even considering Ibrahimovic to be better than Drogba is just plain stupid.

I though strikers are for scoring goals? No?

Oh dear. Have you got a brain?

Drogba is worth 10x the amount Ibrahimovic is worth, if not more. I'd be gutted if we were to sign him, but it could be true. Carvalho and Deco to go the other way. From Pato and Aguero, to Ibrahimovic. Shocking.

He's one of the most overrated footballers of today.

Agreed, Drogba's value on Chelsea really cannot be measured in figures. Zlatan is overrated and he seems like an arrogant player who constantly whines.

What happened to the Aguero transfer talk? Chelsea really needs to stop hesitating and make these big moves, we've never had a big signing in a while and Aguero will be the next big thing at Stamford Bridge given his skill and age.

While that is true, it doesn't put Ibrahimovic over Drogba at all, when judging a player, everything comes into factor and I think Drogba has this intimidating presence on the field that really gives us the edge. And why fix something that isn't broken? Chelsea has been great under Didier, and yes he could've won us a CL or maybe two already but I don't blame him at all.

My point is, save the money and buy someone young and fresh like Benzema/Aguero, rather than blowing 60 mil+ for an overrated player lik Zlatan.

What I hate about Drogba haters (not claiming that you are one) is that they always remember what he does wrong but never acknowledges what he has done right for the club. The media has never done him any good as well and people who criticize him without any proper reasoning definitely does not watch Chelsea matches. If you ask me he's one of the most committed/passionate players on the team besides JT, Lamps, and Joey, and deserves to retire as a Chelsea legend.

Really think he is someone we should stay away from.

[Matterz 67]

The most over rated player in world football for me, both Drogba and Anelka are better imo, There are many players I would want ahead of him, complete waste of time even talking about him. Where would he actually fit in at Chelsea?

I never said we should pay 60+ mil for him. I only said I would be ok with Deco + Drogba for him.

One reason is that Zlatan is 4 years younger. Other than that, Zlatan has got a fine aerial ability like Drogba. Ibrahimovic is also a really skilled player and his passing is class. So he would surely create good goalscoring chances to others as well as scoring himself..

I would only like this deal to happen if we also sign Agüero though.

And about hating Drogba, you are very wrong. Drogba used to be my favourite player a few years ago and I still like him. I just think it would be better to team to get a younger replacement, who is capable of as much as Drogba, if no more.

And it's just my opinion.

Nothing wrong about your opinion and I agree, Zlatan is skilled and is younger than Drogba. But I really don't see him fitting in with the team chemistry and Inter would never do Deco + Drogba for Ibra.

Can everyone cut out stupid posts like this please.

If you think someone's opinion sucks, you better damn justify why, otherwise yours sucks more.

Not really overated...People just say that after the Inter vs Man United game last year...where Mourinho said he was the best in the world which was obviously just mind games.

However we don't need him at the moment.
