Hehe not quite the best yet, but he certainly has what it takes to become the best player in the world one day. :)

Not likely. Ibrahimovic isn't really a team player. After a while he will get into trouble with teammates or coaches and leave to another club, probably Real Madrid. Don't forget that he's only here because Juventus is a better club then Ajax, he made several comments that he didn't care if it was Milan, Inter or Juve that signed him.

He's not loyal and a trouble maker, he's a great player but he'll never be the world's best.

I think Zlatan's behavioral (not quite sure if that's a real word) are a bit overhyped...
He's been at Juve for a season now, and he hasn't gotten into any trouble to my knowledge. I also can't see how you can fault him for moving to Juve, because he wanted to play at a bigger club and on a bigger stage such as Serie A. Does that really make him any less loyal than your average professional footballer?

Look at Davids, he was a great player for us, but when it came to renewing his contract, he left without a second thought because we didn't want to meet his wage demands. That doesn't negate his years of good service as a world class player, but it shows that his loyalty to us was only attached to how much he earned at the club.

As for the original statement, no i don't think he's the best in the world. Far from it, but if he improves on his weaknesses, focuses on the tasks at hand and plays more for the team, i think he could have a good shot being that one day.

hm quite true in wad u said, but he has been banned for headbutting Mihajlovic. He also escaped ban when he was caught headbutting in the Udinese + Reggina game

What i meant was being problematic in more of a team spirit context. But yes in retrospect, one can't say he hasn't gotten into any trouble.

There's no doubt that he's a temperamental player, but contrasting him with other players of ability and short tempers such as Cassano and Totti, he still keeps out of trouble a lot more than them.

I mean even Zidane headbutted a player in the CL once, creative players are always susceptible to be targetted for abuse to get them wound up.
