Still has a better goal and assists to game ratio than Villa/Sanchez and a whole host of your players barring Messi. And that's with a trainer and system that did nothing for him. You could of had the best striker in the world by a clear country mile, but you blew it and lost 50 mil on the transaction. Your loss. Deal with that.
Just want to educate you on Ibra's stint with Barca and how he fares in
BIG Games, and how only a few of his goals is to be remembered.
Start of the season:
