Ibra to Barca

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, that wondrous Swedish striker, has joined FC Barcelona. Good news that offset the departure of the club's oft-troubled scorer Samuel Eto'o. With all the big names going to Real Madrid, Barca manager Pep Guardiola did't stand pat on his team's treble last year as he strengthened his unit.

And how's this for a strike force -- Thierry Henry, Lionel Messi, Bojan Krkic, and Ibra? He may not have the power and pace of Eto'o but Ibrahimovic is no slouch with excellent finishing and control anywhere near the goal.

And of note: Ibra has won league titles in his last three stops: Ajax Amsterdam, Juventus, and Internazionale. His addition to this mostly homegrown unit can only make them better.
