Ibrahimovic has never struck me as much of a worker, I wonder if he knows what he's let himself in for joining Barca?

Mourinho must be pissing himself laughing at having conned Barca out of Eto'o and Hleb (temporarily) in exchange for Ibrahimovic.

Every single Barca fan I've spoken to on this has said exactly the same (and it's a view I echo) - we'd far rather have had Villa.

Ibrahimovic has a stunning scoring record, if he could start doing it at the top top level (ie, Champions League) he would have to be considered as one of the best players in the world.

I could score 8 goals in 10 games for Barca whilst spinning on my cock.
When you have Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Keita etc giving you service, it'd be impossible not to score a hatful.
Best in the world!? Pfffffft. Torres or Drogba would already be in double figures if they were in that Barca side.

By that theory then, Messi is RUBBISH, yes?

Y'know what, i do actually think Messi is pretty average, and is made to look good in that 2 team league.
Stick him in the Premiership and he wouldn't have a clue.
Same goes for the likes of Kaka, Benzema, Ribery and all the other overrated players kids are obsessed with because they are good on Fifa.

If Messi played for an English club it would be at the level of Wigan or Everton at best.

You can find stats to back up any argument.

I think (and someone might be able to confirm) that Ibrahimovic has won a championship winners medal in the last SEVEN consecutive seasons. Coincidence? Er, no.

Why so quick to dismiss coincidence?

Because he did it at 3 different clubs in 3 different countries. David May has a Championship and Champion League winners medal with ManU, showing that average players can be in the right place at the right time. But the didn't do it again at a different club in a different country. Twice.

The Ibrahimovic doubters have arisen because he hasn't performed too well against English clubs and our national side. No-one who watches a lot of Italian football would doubt his quality. Then again a lot of the English media did decide that Messi was average when he didn't perform against Chelsea last season, so anything's possible.

Chappers is being deliberately difficult again. I may have to use statistics to prove his 5--a-side team are far better without him in goal.
