Seems about right... you know, modern football. You have clubs like Portsmouth trying to compete with big player wages and look where it sends them.

Hmm, pie.

I'd like to see lots of certain players in the premier league just because but at 34 and what he might ask for wages, not sure any club would bother.

Hmm, pie.

Age isn't really a factor when we are talking literal world class talent.

Ibrahimovic is a world class talent that isn't just about scoring goals, but bringing media attention to the club. He will sell shirts, he will create headlines, he will score goals. Just what Man United needs when you consider what Rooney has become over the last couple of seasons. He has 39 goals in 42 games this season. That's currently a better record than Messi and only slightly behind Ronaldo (43) and Suarez (45) with a similar number of games played.

His consistency as being one of the Worlds best front men, being able to score from anywhere on the pitch and putting on a show no matter what competition he plays in makes him worth the asking price for a season or two.
