Zlatan will play for whoever pays him the most.
Surprised he's never ended up at Bayern.
Cause they don't pay ridiculous money and don't like players with uber-egos.

A bit harsh to come to that conclusion, I'd say. But then again CL has been one of his main, perhaps the biggest, obstacles troughout his career. And he do step up in big games as well, but not in the CL of course, but I think that's up to coincident rather than lacking ability to step up in big games.So on twitter I saw a stat that Zlatan has 7 CL knockout goals in 40 games, 4 of which came against Leverkusen.
Pretty poor, no? For someone who's played for Ajax, Juventus, both Milan clubs, Barcelona and PSG.
As I said earlier, just doesn't have those big stage moments. Got sent off against Chelsea too, leaving his team to battle on through without him.
One would say Giroud is a poor mans Zlatan? Actually I've been thinking of that comparison as well. They have a similar style of play but it all comes up to Zlatan being almost a superhuman, and Olivier is not (sorry Ollie).Anyone who even dares to compare the great Zlatan to Giroud needs head examining. Similar type... er ok.. theyre both can play CF thats where the similarity ends.
Zlatan has insane ball control.. much better finishing.. probably 2x powerful shot.. scores from crazy angles.. outragous goals. The guy has banged more goals in for a poor Sweden team than Rooney has for England.
Target man or not.. just look at how many goals Zlatan has created himself. Oh yes how many free kicks has Giroud scored?
Its totally unfair on Giroud to be compared to Zlatan. Totally different class.
If Zlatan was on the end of those headers I'm 100% confident he would of buried at least two of them.I don't see the similarities between the two, one has no skill and can barely move, the other can do basically everything.
Giroud struggles with flicks, and one-two's aswell, holding the ball is 50/50 with him too. Missed 5 headers v Sp**s.
Zlatan is a much better player than Giroud but the Frenchman is more dangerous in the air. Bet Zlatan never would've got 5 opportunities with headers, let alone scored on any.If Zlatan was on the end of those headers I'm 100% confident he would of buried at least two of them.

I think like 5 of those have come against us as well
Tbf that Chelsea red was a f*cking joke of a decision.
Only 3 I think - 2 for Barca, 1 for Milan.
If you want a good laugh/cry - highlights from that Milan game:
Fun fact, I used that video to argue against Vermaelen when I was in the lobby.
Is Zlatan one of the greats? I'm not sure. Iconic player, I'll give you that.
I'd like to see Özil get in Zlatan's wayI'm not sure he's the type of play you'd play with Özil though for example. They'd both be looking for the same space.
