Luis Fabiano Wants Ibrahimovic Money ?

There is no doubt Luis Fabiano is a fabulous athlete. His record at the international level speaks for itself; however at club level the story is different . Fabiano was touted as the new Ronaldo by a few foolhardy folks in Brazil following his formidable displays at Sao Paulo, the pie was then bought by even more foolhardy fans of Fabiano . Ronaldo is without doubt  a living legend, the greatest striker of the modern era and possibly of all time . Fabiano on the other hand has struggled to live up to the hype at his La Liga Club Sevilla.  The Brazillian striker was on a tear throughout the 2007-2008 season scoring 34 goals in all competition . He was second with 24 goals in the Spanish league .
This stat would have us think Fabiano was finally coming in to his own; however he then went back to his average old self . Fabiano like many other strikers will enjoy a good run of form but the class required to be consistent is not within them. I am of the belief that Mr Fabulouso has greatly benefited from the extraordinary talents of his fellow Brazilian countrymen allowing him to score consistently on the international stage. These stats could confuse even he himself who now thinks he's worthy of a salary on par with Superstars like Didier Drogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The Melo striker is being courted by the Tottenham's boss Harry Rednap who recently had these words to say .
Redknapp told Soccernet in an exclusive interview: "Yes, I like him. He's a fabulous player and would be a brilliant addition to any team.
 For sure, he is a class act, but I don't know what he earns. He might be on mega money, so it might prove to be impossible for us.
So what mega money is Mr Rednap talking about ?
Fabiano's agent, Luis Fuentes, revealed last month that the striker expects to move on but intimated that Fabiano would expect wages on the same level as the likes of Didier Drogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic
What ???
Not to put Drogba and Zlatan way above  the rest, but these guys are superstar strikers who carry teams on their backs in the best leagues in the world. These are players who consistently scores more than 25 goals per season . Fabiano is not on the level of these players !!! . Now some may disagree with me but prove if you can why Fabiano should be demanding salaries on par with these men.
