Howay 12496 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Good signing for them. Won't be PL top scorer or lead them to the PL trophy but will be very good for them. Aye despite his age he had an absolutely ridiculous goal scoring season last season, he'll be a very good focal point in their attack to have Martial and whoever else playing off him.

toonotl 2988 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Zlatan is 34 and he's been playing in a side that would have a run at the top 4 here in a complete powder puff league over there. I don't think he's that great of a signing. Edited June 3, 2016 by toonotl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 38 goals in 31 league games is still impressive mind, even when taking the standard of the league into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2988 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Yeah. It's impressive for sure. Can't argue with that. He's done incredibly well regardless of the standard of competition. At 34 though he's likely to deteriorate quickly, especially in a league that isn't the footballing equivalent of a retirement village. I don't think he'll reach double figures next season. I'm basing my prediction on nothing but gut, I'm like a half-powered CT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing Mourinho is very good at is getting a lot out of aging players so I wouldn't be that surprised to see him get a canny few goals in his 1st season there at least.

toonotl 2988 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Yeah. You could be right. I like Zlatan so it'd be good to see him scoring goals and referring to himself as the specialer one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10872 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 I wouldn't spend £20m+ on Vardy, or however much they'll demand for Mahrez. Arsenal's problems aren't up front, it is (as it has been for years under Wenger) the defence and central midfield area that's the problem.  A busy grafting striker who can finish is a good thing to have, but Giroud, Sanchez, Ozil et al can score enough goals to get them attacking the league, a solid centre would mean they wouldn't wilt after Christmas though.
