I agree. Going to PSG was a pathetic career move and probably the last one he'll make at top level.

I really don't get what you're saying. When he won the league and domestic cups every year with those clubs it was down to other people, but when they got knocked out of Champions League it was down to him?
Its no coincidence that both Inter Milan and Barcelona won the CL in the seasons he left them.
Great great footballer but he does seem to choke and go into his shell on the big occasion. Vs Man Utd at Old Trafford in 2009 and vs Inter Milan in 2010 are examples of occasions where he failed to seize the moment in big CL games. Eto'o wasn't as flashy but he put away his chance against Chelsea in 2010 at Stamford bridge for inter, while in the previous season Zlatan missed a free header a few yards from the goal at Old trafford, which would have put inter ahead on away goals. Swapping Zlatan for Eto'o plus cash was the best bit of transfer business Inter have done in their history.
