Zlatan Ibrahimovic's time in England has been a mixed bag so far but with 12 goals in all competitions so far it's going well in general. However despite that Samuel Eto'o thinks PSG are better off without him!
The legendary Swede played just four seasons in the French capital with Paris Saint Germain but in that time he became a club legend and won everything.
In his time in France Ibra became the club's all time top scorer with 156 goals in 180 performances, not bad, as well as winning the league four times, cup twice and Ligue 1 top scorer thrice.

However despite all of that the man who once replaced him at Inter Milan, Samuel Eto'o, believes that Zlatan's former club are better off without him. As reported by The Sun, Eto'o said:
"PSG had a very good team. There were actually two teams. 'Paris-Ibra' and Paris without Ibra. He is a great player I'm not calling this into question.
"But it's true that in the Champions League, during difficult games, we were relying on Ibra too much. So when he wouldn't show up, we would lose basically. But now PSG have a better team, they play as a team."
Sure the Cameroonian legend might have a point about the French team relying on the former Inter Milan and Juventus striker but suggesting that they're better off without him.

With Edinson Cavani leading the attack the Parisiens are four points off the top of the table having lost three of their opening 16 games. In previous years they'd have been flying at the top of the league.
Eto'o even admitted he doesn't like Cavani all that much adding, "I have great respect for [Edinson] Cavani but I prefer Benzema.
"Benzema is my type of striker. I prefer attackers who are involved in the game... that are not only there to score goals set them up too."
So in essence they're better off without their lead goalscorer even if facts say differently and you don't think his replacement is up to much, sure!
