yeah i mean the first thing that comes to mind when we think of ibra is that he's just sooooooo good at dribbling. his work rate and engine every game is downright magical aint it?
the same ibra who probably cant be arsed to run to the toilet for a piss and just goes in a bottle cotched on his sofa
your use of examples to try and catalyse your argument is comical. one step forward 3 steps back.
my favourite was the heskey one

You don't know about Ibra. Google him and check him on YouTube. One of the best with the ball at his feet.Originally Posted by Wiltord's Winner

Why do you think I'm using extremes? Simple points jut aren't connecting with you. Forget it. If you don't know you don't know. But go check out Ibra and see if you can find the goal for Ajax where he dribbles through the whole team.
i know a lot about ibra my friend, i lived in sweden for 7 years, which probably doesn't mean much to you but they idolise him there. every football programme and documentary is about him. all the kids ever talk about when playing football is him.
he's great with his feet but one of the last attributes i acknowledge with him would be dribbling. there's skill, power of shot, explosiveness, aerial threat, heading, intelligence, many others that i would speak about first, the list goes on. i wouldnt sit in a pub and say 'oh yeah that ibra, he's a great dribbler man'.
great dribblers are messi, maradona, ronaldo, ronaldinho in his prime.
no point trying to rationalise with someone who's scaling and use of examples are beyond ridiculous
tbf i think he means great with the ball at his feet in tight spaces, which he is.i know a lot about ibra my friend, i lived in sweden for 7 years, which probably doesn't mean much to you but they idolise him there. every football programme and documentary is about him. all the kids ever talk about when playing football is him.

I think you are referring to running at pace with the ball ala Robben, Messi etc....
out of interest what would you say about Iniesta or Zidane?
It's worth checking this out along with the video on Ibra.

Also found that silly goal he scored for Ajax.
But you're missing the whole point of why I've included Ibrahimovic. He's a big lad, built like a centreback, poor work rate, an attribute you mention, but he's one of the few forwards built like that with quick feet and dribbling skills. His superior ball control and technique is what makes him different to a battering ram type centreback like Heskey or someone like Drogba or even our boy Giroud. Again, strength and work rate aren't the most important attributes when it comes to dribbling. Ball control and technique is more important. Look at Hleb. He was a weakling but still a good dribbler. Anyway..... interesting discussion.
Thanks. You're getting what I'm saying. I'm not just talking about quick wingers.
more depressing stats
Arsenal's last 8 PL games at the Emirates
Won 2, Drawn 4 Lost 2.
Opposition: Chelsea x2, QPR, Sunderland, Norwich, Fulham, Saints & Wigan
Wow Mr Quinn! I thought that I was the oldest fart on here! I had a season ticket when Terry Neil was Manager! That was bloody dreadful, but it still felt like our club, the players were in touch with the fans etc. Arsenal are just a business now, our club has gone, so fucking sad.
In 1992-93 and 1994-95 we had 17 points after 11 games in both seasons and we finished 10th and 12th respectively.
fuck
not sure if this is good or bad
Mannone made eight saves in one game against Fulham, only two Arsenal keepers have made more in a single PL game since 2006.
