BBC Sport So we now have the worlds most arrogant player, manager and club all in the same place! What a delightful prospect for next season. I suspect at least one ego will be fractured before too long though... here's hoping...

Hopefully the atmosphere in that changing room turns toxic quickly, a few bad results at the start should do the trick

Ibrahimovic worked with Maureen at Inter and I don't recall there being any issues unfortunately. But this will be by far his biggest test and at 34 it might be difficult to adjust for him?

He was still the best player in the French league last season, so I think he still has to offer even at 34, unfortunately

PSG had won it by the 8th March but yeah, I think he has something to offer but this will be his toughest test and at 34.

Unless they can do better I d expect them to struggle.

No way is Ibra the most arrogant player in the world. Ronaldo (for god reason), Arda Turan, Balotelli, Barton are all way worse and there's probably plenty more.
Watch an interview with Ibra all the way through, you'll notice any time he says anything outlandish, he laughs at himself/ what he's just said afterwards. He's playing the media at their own game, and winning. He obvs loves attention but that's not arrogance.
Media headlines make him an arrogant man, but there's very little substance to it from what I've seen.

Mate, he might well (occasionally) laugh at himself after making such comments but nobody has ever come out with such outrageous statements on a regular basis so he definitely is in a different league to the other players you have mentioned - and you'd think being the oldest, he would know better by now! He's never contradicted accusations of arrogance either.
Don't get me wrong I'm not criticising him per se. Like Ronaldo he's earned the right to be arrogant on the basis of professional ability, and if there's one footballing memory that I could ever take to the grave ahead of Istanbul 2005 it's his overhead goal against England.
But his personality reflects that of his new manager and club. Nothing to be admired there.

Well I'll guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. Take a look at this though, he's a funny guy, and from what I can tell, doesn't take himself seriously at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eF5Z4d9R3ZE
