He seems to play a lot better when he gets regular game time.
That might mean we won't often see the best of him.
Definitely..
There are lot Bosnians who think Edin should get fairly more time but let's be honest - that's never gonna happen with Aguero and Tevez. He'll never get 5 starts in a row unless someone is injured or Tevez gets golfsick :)
Agreed!
With all his bad stuff, (and he is far away from world class striker he once was and I doubt he'll be as good again while at City), he is too good to sit on bench but he decided to stay so it's his choice. It would probably be better for him if he moved somewhere as he is good enough to score galore of them anywhere.
Many people just talk crap and know fuck all about football as there is handfull number of strikers int he world that are good enough to find themselves in as many chances as Dzeko is.
Great point again
He is still the guy who raped Bundesliga for 2 consecutive years scoring 49 goals in the process and same guy who was joint best scorer of 2010 World Cup qualifiers playing for bloody Bosnia. You don't do that if you're not bloody good. And he was bloody good.
This point people keep missing over and over again. This isn't some mid 20's player who hasn't proved himself before. He's done it multiple times in the past playing for a crappy Wolfsburg team with which he won title as well.
But he lost his self-confidence completely and misses many of them nowadays, nothing that wouldn't be fixed in a month if perspective would be different.
On the end, he'll continue to divide "the world" and we'll see quite a few of threads like this one for at least few months more as that circle would never end.. he won't have regular time, that will affect his game and his football won't make anyone excited but he'll still score quite enough for other half to fight first one.
Again, to me it really does come down to people not appreciating the difference in style. You'll never get a ground game that is equivalent of that of Aguero and Tevez, however you'll get better aerial threat, more physical battles and at times even the ground game looks quite decent. The sad part is that he'll most likely reach 15 goals or so once again(without getting so many starts) yet he'll still not be liked. That would be 4th year in a row where he's reached 15 goals or so and still has to prove he's good enough.
