And there comes Zlatan replying to you all.
Regardless Eto'o is by far the better player.
I disagree with both of you. I like Zlatan Alen, but he hasn't replied to anybody, he was really poor yet again today, he was just non existent and in the end scored with the goal empty in front of him, he really did not do anything special, and lost the ball countless times for Barcelona. He has been really poor for Barca this year. No two ways about it at all.
As for the comparison between Zlatan and Eto'o, i think Eto'o is more suited to Barca than Zlatan is, but he is by no means a superior player. Zlatan when at his best is a super player, and he definitely is a better player than Eto'o. IMO Eto'o has got better pace and better movement of the ball, but Zlatan is better than him in everything else.
And it's gonna be because of Ibra? Nothing to do with Real spending millions and bringing Ronaldo, Kaka, Alonso etc?
In Italy Inter's rivals didn't really get stronger. Quite the contrary. The second placed Milan lost Kaka and brought Huntelaar.
Barca are winning despite Zlatan being poor, but thats only because Messi has stepped up and done Zlatan's job for him. Barca weren't so over reliant on Messi for goals when they had Eto'o upfront, but now with Zlatan they are finding a harder time to score goals when Messi doesn't do it for them.
I think there is no doubt at all that Zlatan has been rather poor this season,
until now he has been a poor signing.
