On last season no, but one indifferent season does not a shite player make.
A new manager who will play expansive footie will suit him down to the ground and save us millions.
Why spend for the sake of it?
Dzeko's service was light years ahead of what Uruguay was providing yesterday. I get there's this knee-jerk reaction to absolve Dzeko of anything and everything as well as blame the manager, other players, God, Satan, The New York Stock Exchange, Osama Bin Laden, the Easter Bunny, global warming, and Japanese whaling ventures for any goof he makes on the pitch, but let's not compare City's attack to Uruguay's especially when it's against the Spanish national team.Armaan said:Believe me Cavani in that same set up would be just as shit.

Get Dzeko performing like he did in Germany where the manager knew how to use him and we don't need Cavani.
NipHolmes said:rastus said:And Navas? I dont think that will be the line up.NipHolmes said:Marvin. Isco plays for a team that's better together than the Uruguay NT is. Isco can at least rely on his team to fight for possession and then do something with the ball. Isco has been fabulous in every game so far but also for the club for last two seasons.
You can scout a players talent, judgement and flaws in national games but club football is the gauging stick for players. National games just give us the chance to see players we don't get to see much of like Bernard, Moratta, Paulinho etc.
You make a very, very valid point about central play. This is where Cavani plays. Imo Aguero would have to be played off him or to his right. I'm not hugely comfortable with this as Balotelli was similar and he and Aguero didn't really work. However Lavezzi was incredible alongside Cavani and I hope that's what ee get in an Aguero partnership, similar link up play and goals.
----------------Cavani----------------------
------------------------------Aguero--------
Isco------------------------------------------
-----------------Silva------------------------
--------------Dinho--Yaya----------------
That would be my mid and attack. With Silva drifted to the right when Aguero drifts centrally. Isco coming in and out the flank. We need fullbacks to GRAFT to make this successful. Imo Richards suits it better than Zab.
Ideally 4-2-3-1 is played but can't see Aguero or Cavani being happy with being dropped.
I'm actually more keen to wrap up Isco at a cost rather than worry about Cavani. Isco imo gives us more of what we need and Dzeko is an alternative to Cavani we already have.

Where's Cavani?

Cavani's record for the National Team is 13 career goals in 3300+ minutes. He's a great stiker, but you see two different tales of a player, in Napoli where he has no competition up top and where everything is build around him to make him succeed, and in the National Team where he's sharing the load with other world great/world-class striker.
