Perhaps this is in reaction to the all too frequent posts of certain Dzeko "fans", who constantly big him up, often with the use of "statistics", by lambasting other members of the Man.City squad, especially Aguero and Balotelli, Dzeko's supposed "rivals" in the City quad, but also others - such as Nasri (on whom one Dzeko "fan" wished a broken leg).byronic said:
And I haven't even bothered to open the surely excessively long thread focussing entirely on Dzeko.
Edin Dzeko is a fine player, and seems to be a nice person as well. He emphatically does not need, or deserve, the sort of pathological worship he receives from some on this forum. Or the reaction against this from those who can't appreciate what he contributes to the team.
But, as has been pointed out, the post which has started this, in a thread meant to be about Balotelli, wasn't even particularly critical of Dzeko.
As for Balo, it's clear that his temperament, whatever effect it will have on his future as a player, will never satisfy particular posters on this forum. Even if he becomes clearly the best striker in the EPL there will be complaints that he doesn't smile when he scores, loses his temper, doesn't care enough, isn't intelligent enough, isn't Colin Bell, doesn't treat his mother right etc.etc.etc.
