Dzeko (Merged)

Re: Dzeko

Don't think he's suited to playing in a lone striker role,and don't think he's going to work playing up front with Tevez,so a bit confused as to if he's going to be a key player for us in the future.Got to be frustrating though, being a 6'4 inch striker and getting no crosses delivered in the air.

Apart from one header yesterday,i can't remember him getting on the end of any decent balls in the air.

Re: Dzeko

1) Previous post by Zmajuga: spot on. Right now expectations around Edin (due to the amount of money paid for him) are severely affecting his play. He is trying to do too much rather than being instinctive. His fear of not meeting expectations affected his confidence, and his play overall. Ironically enough - I think he will start to shine once everyone marks him as a 'bust' :-) as expectations will be down, and pressure will be down.
This I believe is part of the problem. But only part of it.
2) 'change in team's style of play' = overrated on this thread. It's really not as hard as you're making it out to be. Put in some wingers and it comes natural after few training sessions, and same goes for formation shift - these are professional players ffs.
Just wrong. Changing the entire set up of a team (which is what would happen, as the midfielders and fullbacks would have different roles with orthadox wingers) would lead to confusion. Had we made the change in style of play when we bought him, we might be reaping the reward now, but if we change now it'll cost us more points than it gains us.
3) Dzeko cannot create for himself = rubbish. Please watch some of his career goals again - the kid can create for himself, his problem is number 1) above.
He created some of the goals for himself. He is above average at that I'd say.

But he is outstanding at getting on the end of crosses. That's why he is worth the money we paid for him, because he converts chances into goals.
I feel bad for the lad because it must be hard to come in to the Prem with SUCH HIGH EXPECTATIONS and HIGH PRESSURE right off the bat...that must suck. If City bought him over the summer he'd be kicking ass and taking names by now. You'll see next season.

I'll be there to say 'I told you so'.
Hopefully.

class.

The dance tho Bayerns Defence at 1:36 is pure class.



nothing would give me greater pleasure than if edin became a city legend, he seems also a really decent bloke, not like balo who has a lack major social skills.

it would also seem our manager is hoping edin can fill a role that the lad hasnt played before which is effecting his confidence. i hope for everybodies sake he can quickly get his act together.

I want people to accept he's not all he was billed as being

Why would you want that? Wouldn't you rather he did turn out to what he was billed to be? Christ, oh lord. What are City fans coming to.

and your point is?

The point is that Samaras is probably the worst player we've ever had on our books

right?....... now samaras is playing a club not fit to compete in our league and dzeko is at our club with a 27mil price tag next to his name. you watch him come good.
 
Re: Dzeko

I bet arsenal fans are glad they didnt give Pires such a roasting in his first season in the PL when he was pretty poor and actually gave him a chance to settle unlike most people on here with dzeko. Give the guy a chance to settle. Hes only been at the club 5 minutes and hes scored more goals than torres for half the price but u dont hear chelsea fans saying how shit he is and that he was a waste of money.
