so with the Sweden - England fixture looming in, these are probably more appropriate than ever!

these fifteen quotes:
http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/featu...-new-book.html
revealed a lot more about Zlatan for me, and of his troubled time at Barca. he seems a witty and perceptive figure, and i for one quite like him, despite the whole idea of him being a 'marmite player'.

other quotes of his include:
"First I went left, he did too. Then I went right, and he did too. Then I went left again, and he went to buy a hot dog" (in reference to a defender he outwitted).

"What Carew does with a football, I can do with an orange" (in response to John Carew's criticism of his playing style).

so.. do you think is he actually funny, or just arrogant? he has quite a field persona; do you enjoy watching him play?

Ibrahimovic is a world class player. He's may be a bit arrogant but he sure has the ability to back it up. His work rate is a bit poor but you will never see a player hit a football with such power and stuck so sweetly than Ibra.

He's quite a character like Balotelli in the sense of his violent conducts but when he's playing at his best, he's unplayable.

Love Zlatan, one of my favourite players. Can produce moments of magic.

[Dandaman9999]

I absolutely adore Zlatan! He is so funny

And also the act that he goes and karate kicks his team mates Legend :P

[silent ninja]

He's a blackbelt in taekwando so I guess he knows how to fight.

I can see Balotelli turning out like Ibra.

Love Ibra, such a lad.

Gazza :

''Mario Balotelli? Don't make me laugh. What's he done? Setting off fireworks in his bathroom wouldn't even cause any damage.

He can come back to me when he's brought an ostrich to training. Yeah, when I was playing I brought in an ostrich and just let it loose on the training pitch.

The lads didn't know what to do. The gaffer was furious.''

Love Zlatan though, probably my favourite player. His book is excellent if anybody hasn't read it yet

[rockrunride]

Don't like him one bit tbh.

[The Rusty Spork]

I don't like him as a player but I find the arrogance hilarious. The stories about him are amazing like him killing a boar and feeding it to his team mates at his hunting lodge

[Isometrix]

"You bought a Ferrari but drive it like a Fiat". My respect for him just shot up after reading that, metaphorically owned

[Musester]

Any team without a Zlatan is a team in trouble...have to love how he refers to himself in the third person

[Mr.Messy]

"Training starts when I say so"

[punkski]

..and more.

I actually like this quote from him;

"There are many people who talk without knowing anything and they would do better to shut up."

and this one makes me laugh;

interviewer: Who's the best in the world right now? Cristiano or Messi?
ibrahimovic: In my head I am the strongest of all. I certainly don't need the Ballon d'Or to prove that I am number one.

LOL

[mirin?]

He is hilairious.

[mevidek]

Love him.

[Laertes]

The man's a legend.
