Ibra was true, would you take Zlatan?

Featured Replies

Apparently Ibrahimovic could be leaving PSG. Would that be worth our while? Could he fix our problems at the front?

(Personally I think he could do a real good job holding up the ball to link up our midfield. Has goals in him with his head and feet as well)

Thoughts?!

At 30 i'd sell Diego Costa for Ibra.... at 33 or however old he is i'd sell Remy/Falcao if it meant Ibra playing for us. He's still quality and for me the missing link for us up front.

Edited by the special one

Would have had him ahead of Falcao but not now unless Remy is leaving.

+1. Would work out nicely if Bamford is close to being an option for us, which who knows if that will happen or not.

He'll cause a lot of problems if he isn't starting every game, and with Costa I don't see how both of them could fit in our system together.

 

No.

Fair enough. However, if Costa's off and on again relationship with his healthy hamstrings were to put him out 3-4 months in the next game or two I believe we'd be silly not to make a deadline day move for Ibra. Remy is not good enough for the way we play. As for Falcao...it's too early to say.

From a pure footballing perspective there is no doubt he would improve our squaddies give us something different and something that I think we're desperately lacking - someone with the belief and confidence to try the unexpected.

I highly doubt we're in for him, but there's a tiny part of me that thinks a line up with:

 

Costa - Ibra  - Falcao
Hazard  - Matic Cesc - Oscar
Rahman - Terry - Dave

Tibo

That'd be kind of fun to watch.

Hazard and Oscar as wing-backs and three centre forwards?

 

Or Rahman and Azpilicueta as wing-backs with JT as a lone centre back?

 

Either way, we would concede at least 7 goals per game.

Concede 7 and score 8? Like the Man United of old.

Would have been a joy to see Ibra with Hazard, shame he will never play in the PL - would have thought he wanted to win the PL before going to the US for his final paycheck.

Being alleged by some paper in Paris that we've offered him a two year deal. I for one would be delighted to have him, he's a proven winner, but I know he's a divisive figure.

Has all the hallmarks of classic stupid Chelsea but who knows? He might not turn out to be another Shevchenko or Falcao.

 

On the plus side with him and Pato in the squad, we should be real favourites for the 2010 Serie A title.
