I fucking can! 4 goals in 24 games - That's how many goals he had in 14/15 the day Bony made his debut. Half of them were against Sheffield Wednesday.
He finished the season with 6 in 32. Absolutely pathetic showing from any striker - worse than Bony last season.
And last year people were laughing at Roma for spending €20m on him because he was so bad for them.
I like Edin, I'm glad he's finally doing well, although I suspect this is just another one of his hot streaks and he'll go on a barren run soon.
Short memories on here.
I can see the ball pinging off him in random directions as I type.
Not 6 in 32 games at all.. 6 in 32 appearances.
The previous season he scored 26 goals, in 48 appearances. No wonder he was a bit aggrieved when we bought Bony.
He scored 72 goals for us in 189 appearances, many as sub and no2 or No3 striker. Aguero/Tevez/Dzeko/Balo... Aguero/Negredo/Dzeko/Jovetic
His premier league strike rate is/was in the top 10 of PL history.
I don't know what went wrong, because he signed a new deal in 2014. Very under rated by City fans. Wish we had the Dzeko of 2014 now.
Yep.. like Kun and Nacho at the moment. It happens. However his goal tally can not be denied
Bad news Dzeko son. Bad for anyone to have their stuff robbed. Thank goodness they left when your wife heard the noise.Apparently had his house robbed in Rome whilst his family were inside. He was playing for Roma away at Sassuolo at the time.

Totally agree, roma fans were calling him Edin blind after a couple of months with them haha, frustrated the fuck out of me, remember his debut v wolves, I was buzzing but that quickly faded as he was clean through 3 times and missed the barn door!!!I fucking can! 4 goals in 24 games - That's how many goals he had in 14/15 the day Bony made his debut. Half of them were against Sheffield Wednesday.

Edin the Blind ;)Nice article in The Guardian today:

Bet they're glad the management stuck with him now.Edin the Blind ;)
For a player who's scored so many great goals in three of the top European leagues and the Champions League, he has had some unbelievable misses, most notably the one against Palerma and the one for us against Stoke. It's almost like a golfer yipping a two-footer. What's quite impressive is his apparent ability to not let it affect him long term - he's either smart enough to realize these things just happen sometimes, or he has the memory of a goldfish.I still have a fucking good laugh whenever I feel like cheering myself up, watching that miss against Palermo in February. Just done it, actually. At the time, some wag on here posted, "He should have tried to shoot instead of taking a touch!". I fell about, I'm telling you. What slays me about that clip is that a member of the opposing team (number 10 on his shirt) appears to raise his hands in horror, before he sort of checks himself as he realizes what he's doing!
If he gave us 7 or 8 games out of 10 the way he often plays for Roma then you'd take that. The problem was it was 1 game in 10 at most that last season. I'd love to see what Pep could get out of him because he's got the skill and he's a great human being as well.Good goal again for Roma.
Sort of miss the guy.

Your last sentence echo my feelings to the letter. Would be most interesting to see him in a Pep team...If he gave us 7 or 8 games out of 10 the way he often plays for Roma then you'd take that.

Yes he was frustrating on many occasions but he didn't half score some important goals and left us some beautiful memories.I know what you mean. When he played for us there seemed to be so many frustrating games when he couldn't control the ball and was slow as fuck, but other games he looked awesome. He's better than Nacho as a second striker as well, could do with his height as well.
But the longer players are gone, the better we remember them. NDJ, Tevez, Barry, all would probably still get a game ahead of some of this current side, in my opinion. Tevez definitely, we've never quite been the same since he left. Had that fight and spark we've lacked for a few seasons now.
