Dzeko not mobile enough...lol

[olddirty]

Dzeko has plenty of top speed and was evident in the debut. He will have no problem adjusting to the pace of the Premier League, he just needs to know his teammates so his reactions will be quicker. But based on yesterday's performance he is well on his way. He already has an assist and almost scored.
Keep in mind that Dzeko is a tall player and thus takes longer strides but his top speed is excellent for a player his size. Just because a shorter player's feet move more frequently does not mean he's running faster :)
I think the deceptive speed and feet quickness of Dzeko will give lots of teams problems. You saw the quickness he had to avoid two Wolves players yesterday on the sideline. That got the fans excited!

I can't wait until next week!

YaYa is similar in that sense, as he is deceptively fast.

Just a quick note to our new found Bosnian fans. We hope we will all grow to love Edin Dzeko as a City player but I think it is important to remember that there are eleven players out there on the pitch for us at any one time, plus the rest of them on the bench and the squad.

I have seen a number of posts from you guys lauding Dzeko and that is fine but it would be nice if you could support Manchester City, not just Edin. This is not aimed at you only, by the way, it is for all new fans. Comments like ''I can't wait till next week'' suggest to me that you are referring to the Villa game as that is when Edin will next be playing. However, we have an extremely important game on Tuesday against Leicester. Don't forget that!

CTID.

This will come over time for sure.

Mind you there were one or two posters on here who queried Yays workrate and pace....

Hmmmm

wish we'd stop playing 3 defensive midfielders...

Dzeko is slow, Tevez doesn't score goals, Yaya is a defensive midfielder and Balotelli is a whinging bastard.

De Jong only passes backwards, Barry is also too slow, Silva is too lightweight for this League, Ireland will be a Superstar elsewhere, we miss Dunne, don't sell Petrov, Hart's too young etc etc etc.

And the best part?

Everything YOU wrote and everything I wrote has been said by......CITY supporters on Bluemoon!!!!

According to some we might as well sell the whole squad and bring in a dream team of Kevin Horlock, Paul Dickov, Richard Jobson, Joey Barton, Spencer Prior, Gerard Wiekens, Nicky Weaver, Ji Hai Sun, Darius Vassel, Danny Tiatto and Jamie Pollock.
