Top four spot to give Arsenal chance to sign Ibrahimovic?

There was a lot of speculation about whether the Swedish striker would thrive in the English Premier League this season, with his age and supposed lack of mobility as well as the need to adapt to a different style of football all brought up as possible obstacles, but I think most Arsenal fans will have to agree that the 35-year old has answered his critics emphatically.

The dramatic late goal against Southampton won Manchester United the EFL cup final and made it 26 goals already in all competitions in his debut season with United, so Arsenal fans can only wonder what might have been. The fact that United have not really been blowing teams away and that Arsenal seem to lack a bit of killer instinct and desire to win suggests that Zlatan would be a great addition.

So I was very interested to read a report by The Mirror which claims that the Swede may move on at the end of the current season if United do not earn a place in next season’s Champions League.

Imagine that Arsenal do secure another top four spot while United miss out, which is quite possible and even likely. Would you then want to see Arsenal try to sign Ibrahimovic?

  1. If we can’t/won’t afford Sanchez how will we afford Zlatan who is on anywhere over 250k per week? Beside he doesn’t think that well of us..he said man utd have won in two years what we have won in ten. Can’t blame him he is right.

    1. 100% right.
      1. He doesn’t like Arsenal.
      2. We can’t afford him.
      3. We won’t make top 4 in our form.

  2. After what he is doing with Manchester United this season, I see Man U giving him another year.

    Moreover, I can’t see us signing Ibra.

  3. Arsenal is not good enough to sign ibrahimovich
    Besides where is he gonna play?
    Do you expect Wenger to drop his son Olivier for a winner like movich ?
    Wenger will drop movich saying he is not suited to our style of play.Unless movich accepts that he will be a winger and even that Theo and Iwobi will play ahead if him.

    The bottom line is Wenger will nearly sign him
    Ibrahimovich won’t come to Arsenal if giving the chance.
    His colleagues will ridicule him for coming to Arsenal

    Mind you admin,Ibrahimovich did not go to man u because if champions league.

    And if Ibrahimovich chose Manchester united ahead of Arsenal as a result of champions league competition,then it should tell you that Arsenal makes up the numbers in the champions league.Thus man united has a more realistic hope of winning it with Mourinho.

    Arsenal is not a top club.If you say Arsenal is a top club then you are at par with Wenger in delusion .

    Arsenal is a laughing stock football club.

  4. Dude is a busted flush. People here going on about how Santi at 31 ain’t getting younger. Yet want to sign a 35 yo paper weight. Pep got rid of him from Barca for a reason. And it’s the same reason many on here accuse Olivier of doing, slowing down our game….

    1. You cannot compare Zlatan and Giroud. Zlatan has been consistently producing wherever he goes scoring over 25 goals per season in the last couple of seasons and winning a bunch of trophies. Giroud is a liability..just like Walcott and Xhaka. They should all go. Monreal as well. Hell, probably Ozil needs to go to he ain’t doing s**t.

      1. @quantic dream
        Next time, try comprehending what’s written before you go into full retard mode. I never compared. I simply stated a fact from Pep himself. Ibra slowed down their fluid flow. Dude did not adapt at Barca and was shipped out. Fact

  5. Can’t even believe that this is a topic for discussion. Bob hope you know that Ibrahimovic hates Wenger/Arsenal? Forget about it and move on.

  6. Please let us in the interim forget about signing players or to sign Ibrahimovic. But instead let’s rally round the Ginners to unrivalledly support them to beat Liverpool in a big PL game at Anfield on Saturday evening. To me, this is the most important issue at hand we should be concentrating on now and not transfer of players as Arsenal title winning bid this season is still alive and not dead as being insinuated in some quarters. A win over Liverpool on Saturday Arsenal will keep their title challenge this season going. A top 4th place finish spot in the table has never been a problem for Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal to pick up since he has been managing Arsenal. While it could be a problem for other big clubs to achieve, I believe Arsenal want to go a step further up than picking up a 21 run Ucl ticket this season but to dramatically win the title..

  7. If Man U fans stabled across such articles that would just reaffirm our state of been clueless laughing stocks.

    Slow news day I suppose, why don’t we go back to Wenger and Ramsey bashing, that usually cheers up a lot of people on here.

  8. It took much longer than needed for people to realize we were out of the race for the PL title. Apparently, there are still some who don’t realize we will not finish in the top 4 this season.

    We will be lucky to keep struggling Liverpool behind us, we will not keep Man U behind us and it is not out of the question that Everton will catch us.

    Of our 13 remaining games 8 are going to be difficult to win on current form:

    Liverpool
    City
    Spurs
    Man U

    Everton
    Southampton
    Leicester
    West Brom

    Man U is only two points behind us and Everton is only 6 points behind us and are on a 9 or 10 game unbeaten run.

    Top 4 could happen but is not reasonable to assume based on our play this year.

  9. Ibrahimovic is a very special player
    How many strikers at his age are so prolific
    I was so jealous of Man Utd when they signed him

    We need a prolific striker as well but we wont get Ibrahimovic
    1. United will get him for another season
    2. We arent willing to pay that kind of wage

    I wish we could get Lewandowski, Greizmann etc but I don’t see it happening with Wenger and the Board
