When asked what he got his wife for her birthday – “"Nothing, she already has Zlatan.”

When asked “Who is the best looking woman in the world?” – “I don’t know, but when I find her I will date her.”

A female reporter joked that Zlatan was gay due to a photo of him hugging Pique. He replied - "Come to my house and you'll see if I'm gay. And bring your sister".

Legend!!!

from reading the above he sounds like a right knob

EdenHazard

He's a bit of a twat alright, he's defo not in the Roy Keane mindset of footballers. He views himself as like a movie star

Mars Bar

Yeah he sounds like a knob but a funny one!

T-K-O

He always had the ability but the wrong attitude. It's like he has grown up in the last year. He has been excellent since the Euros

NIMAN

It seemed to be a British media thing to always slag him off.

Lets hope that shut them up tonight.

Good player, but not great player.

Do not mind holding my hand up. I still could think of better players in his position, but in last year I have seen him I have to say I have been very impressed.

But to the people loading it on cause they got it right about him few years ago. I hope you wont mid me coming back in few years and quoting your post when you get something wrong. I will be watching every move:D

I'm not a fan of his on or off the pitch .

Never took a shine to him.

Don't know what it is.

I love the video of him doing an interview and it being interrupted as he has to attend training

Its ok, I say when training starts

I think hes great, simply cause he has the ability to back it all up

And last night from twitter

At 2-1

England fans chanting " Zlatan is only a **** Andy Caroll

At 4-2

England fans feeling a bit silly, a small quartet singing " Zlatan I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you...

Dolph Starbeam

Swedens Dagens Nyheter newspaper gave Ibrahimovic a Rating of 6...... out of 5 Stars.

Ibra has generally been excellent for a long time! People read into his time at Barca too much.

J. Marston

He's been flying under the radar with a while. He's been plying his trade with run of the mill clubs such as Ajax, Juventus, Barcelona, Inter and AC Milan for the past few years and more recently for some French club. It's good to see Ibra announce himself on the world stage just last night.

I disagree. He has displayed great ability but he went missing for too many games.

When his club / country go down a goal that is usually his Q to hide in the corner. Like I said before I feel he has matured in recent times. He was very impressive at Euro's.

Does his booking count in the qualifiers?

nah he's a pisstaker..the infamous interview in the first one is the height of pisstaking.
There's no way anyone would take him as being seriously when they actually watch the interviews but of course people will just read the comments and think he's a knob

It does not. Wish it did tho. He's on a yellow now so he'd have missed the Ireland game. Sweden have Ireland then Austria then Faroes. Something tells me he'll pick up a yellow in the Austria game!

I guess it was too good to be true

Noticed today that the interview video (and only video I've ever uploaded to youtube, in the post above) I put up of Zlatan a few years ago has jumped up in views since the goal!

If we ever do a soccer forum hall of fame, he should without doubt be the first inductee, and possibly the 2nd and 3rd also.

I'm glad you bumped this as there has been a huge amount of off topic (he hasnt been linked there) Zlatan talk in the Arsenal thread lately but I would have expected maybe a mention of the great Mr Ibrahimovic in your post. Arsenal should sign Suarez is a nice opinion but makes no sense here.

However since its been bumped, Do people think Ibrahimovic might be on the move again now? If so where to, Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal, back to Italy?

DDC1990

Its obvious really, to Liverpool to replace Suarez.

Only option.

real stig was breaking the news.

I'd imagine Italy would be his first choice but nobody could afford his wages, although Napoli would be a slight possibility.

Madrid or Chelsea would have to be the most likely if he moved, Qwenger would probably be too stubborn to sign him as it would be like admitting he made a mistake back in 2000

He's already said it was a mistake.

Has he? I thought he said he had no regrets about not signing him at the time?

Ah ya your right actually. I knew he said something about it, in fact it was that he didnt regret it.

I was thinking
Wenger can be very stubborn...
I wonder would that influence him not signing Ibra if the opportunity arose

Is Zlatan suspended for the Ireland game?

Seaneh

Ah lads, seriously, can we just agree that anyone who doesn't recognise the fact that Zlatan is world class is an idiot and move on from there?
Goal from today.

Have his book ready to read, looking forward to it. My brother got through it fierce quick.
