This season, he has been fantastic, 12 goals and 8 assists in 19 games. I for one am slightly worried for when we play against Milan about how we deal with Zlatan, King might be needed if he's fit. He's got it all, he's reasonably quick, he can head the ball, he's a calm finisher, his link up play is fantastic and he is an instinctive finisher, he only needs one chance. I don't think he gets nearly enough recognition for how good he is, maybe it's just because of his attitude or his tendency to play less well against English sides but he is class.

He scored this cracker on his weak foot last week

Also, Cassano has been on fire for Milan since joining this month.

Yea was watching the match last week vs Lecce, they conceded late on and drew but that goal was just world class. We can only dream of having a striker that can produce something like that. Whoever marks him when we play them will have to be on top of their game.

We could win the league if we had a striker like Zlatan in our team.

If King can't play, Kaboul might be the best option to mark him.

Crouch .... there are players who do both goals and assists =)

Don't know where to put this instead, but after securing Emanuelson from Ajax the Rossoneri are now said to be close to signing van Bommel as well. Thought you guys might find this interisting considering you will meet them in CL.

He is pure class again this season. I definitely think he suits Serie A aswell though. Not that he wouldn't be great in England of course, and he did do well in his first season in La Liga.

He is working up a great partnership with Cassano now aswell. Robinho still blows hot and cold, but looked good at the weekend. That trio is really special. Thank god Cassano is cup tied for our game.

I wonder if they might cash in on Pato to pay for Ibra in the summer. It's going to be hard to keep him happy.

They still lack width though. I think we can exploit them with our wingers. But we will concede a few too. A high scoring cup tie that'll be.

He is quality, but don't be fooled into thinking that Italian defences are good just because of the generally defensive nature of Italian football. That first goal the defending was embarrassing and the second goal, what the hell was the keeper doing?

We'll be fine I think we can really hurt them with our pace. All the Milan fans I know think they have won already and are discounting us completely but I think we'll match up pretty well against them.

He is a danger man, of that there is no doubt.

Historically he has done fairly poorly against PL teams in the CL though, there is a feeling that he can be bullied out of games, made to not fancy it.

We have to be tough, and combative against him, and never give him a chance to shoot around the edge of the area.

Didn't he get a couple against Arsenal last season?

Only one thing better than King to stick on him.....a Sweden shirt.
