Not a lot of inter players. I think he’s still salty that they won CL the very next year without him

It's also a personal relationship thing.

Maxwell is like his best friend since his late teens.

He was very close with Thuram and Vieira. He was also a close friend of Seedorf iirc.

The ones he could have picked were Maicon and Cambiasso really but he has closer personal ties with the other two. And he couldn't leave Messi out, it would raise eyebrows. But he could have omitted Ronaldinho, it's not like they played more than 10 games together, it feels more a tribute.
The only other options were Samuel, who was mostly injured during the time and he doesn't have the playing relationship as Thiago Silva has with Zlatan, and then there's Stankovic with Zanetti. He generally didn't do well with our Argentineans in the locker room, I think he mentioned this in a book or an interview, that the factions at Inter were too strong [Argie group vs Brazilian group] and it was hard for an outsider, and that Milan's locker room and overall environment felt better.

You could come up with a list of the rest of his teammates that could compare to this one really, leaving the offensive line aside.

I would sign him yesterday. He can play both first and second striker, at the very worst (i haven't seen him in years) he would be a great sub on a free.

He would be a beast for us. All for this. But as ADrossi mentioned, he comes with a big personality, and is someone that Conte might not want to deal with.

I loved him, and started to dislike him after he joined Milan. His personality annoys me for some reason, but I'd welcome him back.

Outclasses every striker in the league.

It`s either Milan, Napoli or Bologna.

Given how difficult is to deal with ADL, I`d say he will sign for Milan. On Bologna: the veteran is rumoured to have a good relationship with Mihajlovic and might be willing to come help out at the Dall’Ara when the transfer market re-opens in January.

ADL is only offering him a 6 months deal and he knows Napoli as a city is not the cleanest/safest. Plus, he wouldn`t get his image rights, either.

Speculation concerning the the 38-year-old won’t end as it looks like he has played his last match for the Galaxy following their exit from the MLS playoffs.

Serie A rivals Napoli and Milan have also been mentioned as possible suitors, while clubs all over the world are lining up to sign the experienced forward.

Among them are Australian side Perth Glory, who have already made a formal approach.

Bologna President Joey Saputo has reportedly given the green light for the club to offer Zlatan Ibrahimovic an 18-month contract worth €8m.

Sabatini hinted he was looking for a return to Serie A and there were reports of Bologna offering €8m for an 18-month salary, but this evening Sabatini confessed it was all true.

“Ibrahimovic wants to join us because of his rapport with Sinisa,” the director told TuttoMercatoWeb in the mixed zone after a 2-1 defeat to Inter.

“It’s not impossible. It can be done, but if it is, it’ll be because of the affection that bonds them together. Ibra would like to help Mihajlovic and I can say we’ll do everything to make this madness happen.”

Gazzetta dello Sport reports agent Mino Raiola is in constant dialogue with Bologna, whose coach Sinisa Mihajlovic has already spoken to Ibrahimovic over the phone.

“In December, I will tell you everything,” the Swedish superstar told the newspaper.

Of course he's going to some mid table side. No big club is gonna fool themselves into thinking that this nearly 40 year old striker will be of any value in a serious competition, only because he still looks decent when you put him in between the amateurs of the Mickey Mouse League Soccer. While on the other hand his experience and professionalism can be exemplary for youngsters in mid table teams.

Most likely he will be another Ribery: more of a burden than help.

Zlatan: 'Sent Materazzi to hospital'

Zlatan Ibrahimovic said he "waited four years” to get his “revenge” by sending Inter defender Marco Materazzi to hospital during a Milan-Inter derby.

After being treated roughly by Materazzi whilst at Juventus, Zlatan never forgot about the incident and revealed how he got his revenge in an interview with GQ.

I was at Juve and we played against Inter,” is how Zlatan started the story in the interview with GQ. “Materazzi entered a challenge like an assassin and hurt me. He was a tough football player, that’s OK.

“But there’s two ways to be tough, one of them is aiming to hurt you. Even [Paolo] Maldini was tough, but with a different objective.

“It was Juventus-Inter in 2006 and after the foul I had to leave the pitch for a moment and [coach Fabio] Capello said, ‘I’ll substitute you’. I said, ‘no, I’ll go on.’

“I wanted to return to the pitch to get my revenge on Matrix. If someone does that too me, I won’t forget about it. But after two minutes, I’m in too much pain to go on. I can’t play. Then I go to Inter, Barcelona, Milan…

“In the first game, the 2010-11 derby, they were all against me. OK, this motivates me. But, if you don’t have any control, it’s not good. You’ll lose your head and do something stupid. I got a penalty, and who fouled me? Materazzi. 1-0 Milan.

“In the second half, Matrix is coming at me and I hit him with a Taekwondo move, I sent him to the hospital. [Dejan] Stankovic asked me; ‘Why did you do that?’ And I replied to him: ‘I have been waiting for this moment for four years. That’s why.’

“Then I left. What goes around comes around. Milan won and it was a good moment, because the old club was great.”

The Swedish superstar will reveal his next destination mid-December, after confirming his time at LA Galaxy in the MLS is over, and he has reportedly agreed to return to the Rossoneri.

Imagine how poor Shevchenko would have reacted if he retaliated :lol:

Fuck him and Merk for that unpunished headbutt though.
