I'm in no way hating on him because of ego or what have you....I've actually been defending him. He's a good player and was absolutely world-class in his prime.

However, let's not forget that in the biggest games he's played, he went missing but that's not even the point.

Of course he may be better than the aforementioned players but I won't be able to bracket him with Suarez, Lewy, R9, Eto'o and the rest.

My initial point remains that he's not a mediocre player but he's not among the greatest hit men in football history!
I wasn't referring to you per se. Just pointing out why Zlatan isn't everyone's cup of tea.

While Zlatan isn't a big-game player, I don't think he is a flop like he's been made out to be. This is someone who has scored in some of the biggest fixtures in world football. Inter v Juve, Inter v AC, El Clasico, Manchester derby etc. His four-goal haul vs England and his individual battle with CR7 in 2014 WC playoffs are just some of his highlights on the big stage.

How do you define the greatest strikers in history? Top 50? Top 100? Zlatan is definitely making that list. Someone with over 500 career goals is not among the greatest strikers of all time? If na joke, abeg stop am.

He is not a great. Like many things with English football. Not that many greats are in their football history. You can be the best in a country and not make the top globally

Maybe these generation can change the story

He'll make the list, same way Van Nisterooy, Crespo, Torres will also make the list.

Like I said and I reiterate. Zlatan was world class not mediocre as opined by Dayo but I won't bracket him with Eto'o, Suarez, Lewy, R9 etc. I think we're basically saying same thing or aren't we?

Check your last line in your previous post. You claimed Zlatan is not among the greatest strikers in history which I disputed. So where do we draw the line?

Ok, lemme be more clear.

He's not in the brackets of Eto'o, Suarez, R9, Lewy.

And yes he's among the greatest strikers of all time just like Crespo, Van Nisterooy, Aguero and others not mentioned.

We're saying same thing now?

Start with goalkeeper I didnt watch Gordon Banks but all the English goalkeepers that I have seen from Shilton to Seaman to whoever they have now wont make top 10 in Germany or Italy

So if you say Seaman is the best English keeper, that doesnt make him world class

Same goes for other positions

I remembered that he lacked pace despite playing on the right midfield 4-4-2, couldn't dribble a cone and lacked pressing.

But was extremely good at crossing and taking free kicks.

James Ward Prowes is proud of him!

I don’t agree. With the number of goals he has scored? Because he has won no trophy? Does that stop him from being a great striker? Abegi

Cherki and Franca are joining Chelsea

Both could cost up to 70m


Should Chelsea walk out on a deal for caicedo and other DM options?

When Beckham got to Madrid and saw that no striker will be waiting in the box to nod, He couldn't displace Figo as 7 they tried him everywhere including at right back until they slotted him into midfield before flinging him out

He sold them some jerseys though

Cherki = €40m
Franca,= €25m

For caicedo deal, Brighton are becoming too greedy and needs to be taught a lesson.

It's not like we must sign caicedo at 100m and lament of being cheated again.

And there are other defensive midfielders available,I don't know why Chelsea are wasting time.

There's amrabat, Varela and Wieffer.

Argument every single day. 12 pages. I think say better news don drop. Na so so argument. This guy better pass this guy. Every single day.

He is actually on the last year of his contract due to expire 2024.

Then there's Kamada who's a free agent and Chelsea are not interested.

Beckham was so bad at football he was honoured as the 2nd best player in the world twice by FIFA. He was also so bad at football he won UEFA footballer of the season as well as numerous Uefa and PFA team of the season inclusion. Mr oliverano tell us more facts about how poor David Beckham was.

EXCL: Paul Winstanley is trying to push a plan & reach a consensus with other directors to move for Ivan Toney in January.

Sources close to the player confirmed that Winstanley has been speaking to Toney’s camp since May, it’s his direct plan & Toney would be open to a move.

Winstanley is trying to convince the rest of the hierarchy, but the elite striker list for this summer still remains at the 3 names revealed.

Vlahovic is liked by a different director & Pochettino directly.

Lautaro interest cooled after Inter’s asking price & bids for Lukaku

Chelsea think Inter have overvalued their players & undervalued Chelsea players… I’m told ‘strong words were had’

[Felix Johnston]



Winstanley Sabi ball 😎
