    You didn’t ask it as a question though.
    You backed yourself.
    I respect that

    It was a bad, bad move. Completely demolished his confidence and ended his career, wasn't he personal buddies with Abramovic?

    Yeah apparently Abramovic didn’t even ask the manager. Just went out and bought him.
    Wasn’t sure on him because I think he signed when he was about 30 and had already had a very good career. Did sort of ruin his legacy though.

    I'm biased, I love Shevchenko, one of my all time faves.

    Was Inter but yeah, badly timed. Misused at Barca to the point I actually thought he was crap.

    Incorrectly.

    Did Pep have a genuine dislike for Zlatan and Zlatan felt the exact same for Pep?

    Not sure. Pep signed him, why would he then waste him?

    Zlatan didn't fit into that Barca ideal, he's a big number nine. They never really played that way.

    Although David Villa did well for a bit, more or less as a number 9.

    Can see why Zlatan would think Pep is a knob though!

    It was ridiculous that Barca paid something like Etoo + £30m (when 30 mill was a lot) and Etoo was still in his prime at the time.

    It was definitely one of those where the board bought the player not the manager.

    And Eto'o went the other way and won the treble with Inter!

    Zlatan was the wrong man in the wrong team.
