I'm not here to bash Zlatanistas. (And in most cases, I very much enjoy your posts on these forums, Esteban.) But Zlatan to me is sort of like a Barry Bonds, which many have come to love to hate. Except Zlatan has less talent and more annoying habits, and so naturally I like a Barry Bonds a heck of a lot more.
The guy has some legitimate level of talent. He spent most of last season not showing it for us (or the Sweden NT for that matter). But the guy affected the team like drinking a gallon of Drano ... just rotted us out from the gut on the inside. His attitude, his self-indulgences, his antithesis of team play, his whining, his bad behavior ... I was honestly very much relieved to finally see that bad show hit the road finally. This aside of the point that he personally squandered a number of opportunities that should have had us with the Scudetto locked up weeks prior.

Very true, I can't imagine how someone with such manners can be favored to a hero like DP !
