Also Mario played 8 games less then Dzeko and still managed to score just 2 less then what dzeko did.SWP's back said:So you keep saying not that it matters. He is not a better player.
Mario and Edin are both great strikers, but Edin's full ability is useless to us till we get some decent winners who can cross the ball to him. Edin has proved the whole ball too ferry doesn't work for him as one day hell have the touch of Messi then the next the touch of Samaras!
I'm just highlighting that he is not "shit", as CityCTID has said on many occasions.
Also, it kind of does matter in the grand scheme of things, seeing as we won the leage on GD.

Even though Dzeko had more assists last season?peoffrey said:pudge said:He scored more than Mario did last season
I'm far from a Balotelli apologist because I find him an attention seeking baby with questionable professionalism - but Mad Mario does make goals too. Dzeko doesn't.
Again, not saying who's better (Mario is in my opinion) I'm just stating a fact.
If you only judge players from stats you end up paying 22m for Stuart Downing. You have to judge players overall contribution to a game and how well they fit in to the team. Dzeko's first "touch" last season was embarrassing for the vast majority of the time.
He seems like a good lad, and he's a different option for us if plan A isn't working, but I don't think the team is going to fall apart if he leaves.
