I really like him, he has excellent technique and ability for such a tall player, he is fast too and can hit the ball very well... i think can't perform at the CL because he doesnt have a team that can support him; i am pretty sure that if he plays for barca u will see him perform better cause now he wont have all the defense on him, now he will have more freedom.

His nike commercial where he plays with the bubble gum is so cool and his goal when he played for Ajax in which he fools all the defenders and the goalie is one of the best goals i've seen as well as the one he scored against italy where he kick the ball in mid air with his back heel and put it in the corner

dont judge him by his CL games. he didnt perform in the CL, dont know why. but it seemed to me that in the ManU match, the ball was constantly been kicked high to him where he couldnt do anything with it. the only chance he got he hit the crossbar.

if you see some of the goals he scores in Serie A, I definitely think he's the best striker in the world, cant live up to the CL, but can win the league on his own.

I'll definitely be sad if he leaves!

i agree with you, euge...if one sees his seria a games, you can see that he definately is amongst the best strikers in the world...in CL everybody at inter thinks "zlatan will win the game for us"...and inter's apperances in last season's CL season were horrible

[Euge]

exactly. their gameplay for every CL match was kick it to Ibra, that's why he never got the freedom to move around in a match.

I think the other players were too nervous. In Serie A they are more at ease and can move the ball themselves.

However I guess we can move on with our new players. I have always been a fan of Hleb and with Lucio at the back we should be able to challenge the best.

their new jerseys were just released. the away one is the exact same as the one two or three seasons ago only with a collar! (and I know the home strip is always the same but it's nice again!)

I'll definitely be sad if he leaves!

German newspapers (serious ones!) quoted Barça-president Joan Laporta some hours ago who confirmed that Ibrahimovic is going to Barca in exchange for Eto'o.

(sorry Euge )

sad but true...i can't understand why they let their best player go...nothing against eto'o, but he cannot replace zlatan...at least inter should try to get cassano now.

the new CL season will be even worser for inter without zlatan

we don't need an average defender like lucio at inter - matrix, "il muro" and cordoba is all we need...lucio may have made some good matches in german bundesliga, although i think defenders like demichelis (not last season) or mertesacker are better...i'm not excited if lucio really plays for inter next season, better give a young italian talent from the primavera a chance

@ barca
wow, what a team now with zlatan, messi and henry in attack

[Pete-Rock]

Ha! It is not only an exchange Zlatan vs Eto'o. Barca pays 40 Million Euros + Eto'o for Zlatan Holy shit!!!

Other sources say that it is Eto'o + 40 Million Euros + Alexander Hleb. This is sick, but another proof for the high value of Zlatan.

yeah, just an exchange of the two strikers wouldn't have been an equal deal...but i'm pretty sure eto'o will not be able to substitute zlatan at inter

[Invaders]

As far as I understood only Eto`o is part of the deal with zlatan. Hleb was in the deal with maxwell, first a one year loan wich can be made permanent after this coming season.

Shocker from man u, bought a player unseen from senegal. From the same club as they got Solskjær from back in 97. Lets see if he is good or not, cuz man u havent done any big spendings this year! Only going for the young guns, will be interesting


Oh and did anyone watch man city against orlando pirates, loved it

[Mr.Metal]

I am actually pretty excited about this move, I think he is going to do great in barcelona cause he has a good cast surrounding him. It's going to be pretty fun to watch barcelona again.

[Euge]

Here's my two cents on the transfer.

Inter were in need of a change because it was becoming the same shit every year, Ibra wins the league and doesn't show up in the CL. They were going nowhere with this. I think it's a great move to see Ibra go and bringing in Etoo. To get him and 40million for Ibra is a bargain for Inter. Might I remind everyone that Ibra was looking for a contract worth 13million from Inter. Inter needed a change and they couldnt have gotten anything better than Etoo and 40million.
Etoo and Milito could be a great partnership. Milito scored his first two goals beating AC yesterday. I think this summer they have made their best moves in the transfer market. Hopefully they can make progress in the CL, although Barca are the team to beat!

and to sum it all up, I would rather see Inter win nothing next season with their new setup rather than see Ibra win the Serie A again.

The time came in the Nerazzurri camp for a change, and the future looks bright
