He's a strange one, Ibrahimovic. He has all the attributes to be a top top player but doesn't quite do it in the top games. Honestly believe if he gets a coach who can get the best out of him he could very well be the best striker out there.
You're probably right, I've said this about Ibra since his Juve days. his problem is generally his work rate. The best strikers work defenders, they battle for balls, continually make runs and they cause the defence as many problems as possible. Ibra doesn't do this, he's pretty lethargic, he isn't lightning quick but with his frame, you'd expect him to bully teams, to dominate defenders and be a real menace. He's a bit like Berbatov, he believes in his own ability over hard work, so he prefers to drop deep and create instead of getting at the defenders and really hurting them. In terms of touch, skill and technique, there isn't a forward of his ability and size around, he's freak-like, but it's the other side of his game that causes problems.
