Scottish Mag 3 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Newcastle are being linked with a move for Juventus striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Guardian claim that the Swedish international is a target for Toon boss Glenn Roeder. Newcastle are desperate to bolster their attacking options after losing Michael Owen to a serious knee injury and the retirement of Alan Shearer. The Corriere dello Sport say that Ibrahimovic is on the verge of slapping in a transfer request at Juve, relegated to Serie B as punishment for their part in the match-fixing scandal in Italy, unless he is handed a major pay rise and contract extension. The Malmo-born striker's agent Mino Raiola said: "Zlatan felt good in Turin and he wouldn't have problems in staying, but the contract conditions must change, and not just a little. I'm not pessimistic or optimistic about Zlatan's stay, I'm simply realistic and I live day by day. "Our position is clear and the first step is up to the club, we are ready to talk and to discuss. "It's possible to find a solution, with Juve there is a particular feeling but we must deal with facts because the club could change category and certain big players have already left.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Same as Luque for me like. Hugely talented, but his attitude is piss poor at times. I would look elsewhere personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 175 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I hope not, Zlatan is a one trick pony, all foreplay and no orgasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Boyo 24 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I agree. Great player, but not the kind of character we want. I’m still hopeful for someone like Ashton, Klose or even Kuyt to sign... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1245 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Football wise he would be superb but I'm not sure how his attitude would fit in with Roder's ideals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I've never seen him have a good game either, bar once for Sweden. Given the esteem he's held in in Italy though I reckon he could do a job for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though its the dutch league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15527 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Trouble is, you can never argue for the strike rate validity of any striker in the Dutch league since Kezman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just pointing out that he does have end product. Does anyone know how much assits he has had over the last couple of seasons? As I would say he is more of a forward than a striker.
