welcome to the forum mate....by ur statement, i see ur a z fan...how do u rate his chances in serie a??...hopefully not with roma

..btw according to reports, roma have made a formal bid, do u think ajax wil accept??
I'm not sure about his chances in Serie A. Zlatan is an incredible player, no doubt about it, but he isn't proven as a great goalscorer. And I think that's what especially Italian teams ask, just score goals. For instance v.Nistelrooy and Inzaghi are shit players, but they are always in the right position and therefor score a lot of tap ins. People rate them cause of that, even though they're quite poor players. Zlatan is a great player, but not a great goalscorer. He's not a player that's always on the right position and his finishing could be better too.
I love him, cause he's a fantastic player, just download the 4 movies at
www.zlatanmovie.tk and you'll see. That's why I love him. But I think at the moment clubs (and their fans) want players who just score goals, and as I said, Zlatan isn't proven as a great goalscorer yet. And maybe that could be a problem for him if he went to Italy, cause in Italy you don't get much chances and if you don't score that often you will lose your position as a striker.
Zlatan can handle the level of the Serie A, but if he'll score the amount of goals his club and fans would ask him to score, I'm not sure. If he went to Italy, I hope he will, but as I said, I'm not sure.
And I wouldn't be surprised if Ajax would sell Zlatan, our board is just stupid enough to sell our most important player just a few days before the deadline. And I wouldn't be surprised if we got ripped off too, we should get at least €25m, but wouldn't be surprised if we sold for 15m or something, our board are simply utter idiots.

Hopefully our board will just tell Roma to **** off, they should.. but knowing them.. ah well have to wait and then we'll see on tuesday what happened..
