Re: Zlatan watch

I kinda hope he doesn't have a new club yet, but goes to the Euros trying to impress. Zlatan at the Euros playing to impress to get a top contract would be great for the tournament.

Also hoping he stays in Europe or retires, he's too good for anything else.

I hope you sign him, because I don't think a 34-yo Zlatan can cut it in the Prem any more (:

Its okay. We need Zlatan the man, more than Zlatan the player. Needs someone who can spank some chickens in our team and teach them some cnutness. We desperately need that right now. Our players are far too soft.
So will do even as a squad player. If he gets into the grove then fine, but even still its okay. I mean come on, he cant be as bad as Falcao surely. And we were basically paying him 300 k to just sit on the bench and do nothing.

Either way we have Rashford and i personally want him to be our main striker going into the new season. (And thats why I dont want us to sign someone like Lukaku as it will limit Rasher's development.)
These 2 kids (him and Martial) will learn a lot from Ibra.
Plus theres Rooney ofcourse as a 4th option to fill the role if we want.

Very hard to exist as another striker behind or with Ibra.... Gameiro and Cavani have been disasters. He doesn't like to share the spotlight. He's too greedy. Even worse than CR in that respect imo. At least CR doesn't dominate the ball. Ibra wants to dominate the ball and score all the goals.

Martial can continue playing on the left for one or 2 seasons more. I dont think he will complain and if Zlatan gets going then its okay as Rasher's can be his understudy and sit on the bench. A January loan for Rashford wont be bad either if he is deprived of that much game time( meaning Ibra's playing that well). But I believe the balance CAN be maintained with Ibra and Rash. After all the latter is only 18.

You can try... unlikely. Rashford gets squashed with Ibra there. If I'm Man U, i try to improve the midfield and right wing areas first.

Ibra is a statue now too. He doesn't move much. PSG are so ball dominant in terms of possession that it mattered little except in CL where it was exposed. But in EPL, i think it's a big problem as Man U will never be that dominant with the ball.

by Glory Fri May 13, 2016 7:39 pm

Well Obviously. Right wing is one area that need immediate strengthening.
Woodward will chase Griezmann and Bale all window and will pay 50 mil for Sadio Mane on the final day. So theres that.
And mf, yep. But it will be even harder for us as there wont be CL to lure really good players (who can actually improve us).
Having said that I believe if Mourinho comes he can make a midfield 2 of Schneiderlin and Herrera work as they are his type of players.

Rot-Weiss Oberhausen have offered a contract to Zlatan Ibrahimovic after his release from Paris Saint-Germain.

And while the semi-professional German minnows, who compete in Regionalliga West, are unlikely to offer the star the pay packet he is used to, there are a number of perks in the offer.

Zlatan will effectively be given the keys to the city, with the Ebertbad, a venue which houses concerts, theatre productions and other cultural activities, to be filled with water should the striker fancy a swim.

More impressively, though, the city of Oberhausen have promised to implement a monarchy and name Ibrahimovic as the king.

And as such is the power of the Sweden international, Ewo, the city’s electricity supplier, will supply customers from Zlatan’s house.

Then, having had Ikea re-build their new stand, they would sell Schweden-Happen instead of Bratwurst, and the famous local beer ‘KonigPilsener’ will be re-branded as ‘Ibrahimovic Pilsener’.

But as you can see - things can always get worse. But of course, if our outrageous signing of King Zlatan would work, we could certainly get promoted two divisions in one season to get at least back into the second BUndesliga Proud

Even the BBC took notice of our devious plan: http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/36437528
