Actually 4 of the titles were in Paris I believe, So we can discount them immediately.

Nah, Fat Ronaldo and (as it stands) Buffon are the clear leaders for that title.

I reckon it could go that way. Depends if Utd start winning from the off. If they don't then I think his signing will actually cause problems.

It's a bit of a vanity signing tbh.

Don't think it's a vanity signing. The dressing room has no powerful characters in it and the first team hasn't got any leaders.

He's still got everything in his locker to be a very good centre forward in the premier league if managed well and the team set up for him to be his most productive, both in conversion and creation.

I think the best reason to have signed Zlatan is that if Rooney isn't playing, he might well be captain. That says a lot.

Will flop, can't handle the pace of the PL, too fast for him. Need to have pace and acceleration to score goals over here, strikers with recent good goal scoring seasons like Bony & Austin will tell you that.

It's an impressive record on paper, but when you delve into the it a bit more...

As others have said, 1 title with Pep's Barca and 4 in Lique 1 isn't exactly an astonishing feat that was down to Zlatan, if he'd won them with Valencia and Marseille perhaps.

Also, 1 with Ajax in the Eredivisie, and two were handed to Inter after the match fixing scandal, they also won it the year after when Juve were demoted and Milan docked 15 points.

So out of the 12, you can pick holes in nine of them.
