"As a person he is pretty obnoxious"
Definitely!
"He played well the other night, once the substitutions had been made and a donky defender came on..."
There were a lot of donkeys on the pitch then....'cause I thought he played well the whole game.
"...but I've seen him play little better than a pub player"
Well, I guess you have some really skilfull pub players in England but I find that unlikely as he made some of your "best" look ridiculous last night. ;-)
He's made some absolutely amazing goals and performances against some of the best opponents in the world (like in Champions League and the Euros, World Cup). He can be really bad sometimes but it's the top performances that set him apart from most players in the world.
"The whole 'Cult Of Zlatan' is something I have never bought into"
Me neither.
"This is all my own opinion"
Yes it is your opinion and I think you're in the minority....as it seems the rest of the world is acknowledging his talent and in this matter I don't see it as a matter of opinion.
What one thinks of him as a person is a whole other deal.
But, I have no problem with anyone thinking he's not a top player even if I disagree with you on this, Steve.
