Zlatan Ibrahimovic has hailed AC Milan's transfer deadline day signing of Brazil winger Robinho from Manchester City.

Ibrahimovic, speaking at a news conference on Wednesday ahead of Sweden's 2012 European Championship qualifying match against Hungary, described Robinho as a "magician" on the field.

The striker, who moved to Milan from Barcelona last week after only one season, criticized the Spanish club's coach Pep Guardiola, who he said had yet to give him a reason for freezing him out of the team.

Ibrahimovic said he places the blame for his exit squarely on Guardiola, saying that "the bad picture shouldn't be on the club and the players - the bad picture should be on the philosopher."

Thanks for posting this and keeping the news section alive, War. Oh, and gotta love how new players give out these news bits to the media. It's almost predictable. Though underhand, Ibra hit another low blow to Pep (who has been quite composed through all this).

I love how he says 'philosopher'. That's rich!

posted on Fox Soccer, but they get a lot of their news from a group called RivalsDM, which is basically just an online news-wire for sports.

Not sure where else to post this so....(and I can't start my own thread)

Barca's vice president explains the transfer of Ibra and how they made a profit. I'm going to guess this is how Galliani tricked them into taking 24m

Hmm. Well they're really cutting a lot of financial flab. It tells you something, when selling Ibra for a loss was still good enough for them to save money. Seems Laporta was really extravagant.
