The rumors have been going on for a couple of seasons already and so it was no surprise they have popped up again. With Zlatan now relegated to the bench and maybe not even to the game day 18 at Manchester United, he is looking to his next destination.
How much is he worth to the LA Galaxy? To the MLS?
The downside is that he could be injury prone and simply not play many minutes and his salary would be on the bench or not even in the game day 18. That could be okay if the marketing madness he provides brings fans to the stadium. The worst case scenario is that he is a headache in the locker-room.
Certainly, he is no longer DP worthy as his injury was pretty serious and he simply hasn't shown signs he is anywhere near what he was before. From a strict "what does the LA Galaxy need perspective," he could serve as a backup for Ola Kamara and perhaps in some circumstances the two of them could be up at the front together.
One could envision some scenarios where you might have:
a back three for defense
a five man mid-field of the Dos Santos brothers and Alesandrini being attack minded, Kitchen being defense-minded with Lletget judging the situation to push forward or hang back
a front two of Kamara and Zlatan with Zlatan being like QPR's Matt Smith scaring defenders senseless with his size.
I wonder if I am the only blogger in the WHOLE world comparing Matt Smith and Zlatan Ibrahimovic! 8-) In terms of salary, would Zlatan get similar wages to Matt Smith? I suspect Zlatan would get more? And Zlatan would get many off-the-field opportunities to earn some dollars!
