I'm exactly of the same opinion as yourself, can't stand Dzeko or Kolerov. But with a new manager and with possibly a more attacking style of play, I also say "bets are off" everyone starts with a clean slate even Garcia.
As my late mother used to say the proof of the pudding is always in the eating. Everyone deserves a second chance.........for me, new manger new start simples.....

Dzeko (2007) 96 goals @ 136 mpg
van Persie ( 2001) 136 goals @ 148 mpg
Aguero (2006) 109 goals @ 162 mpg
Tevez (2006) 84 goals @ 174 mpg
Rooney (2002) 156 goals @ 176 mpg
Torres (2001) 135 goals @ 178 mpg
The MINUTES PER ASSIST record for those same league games:
van Persie 290 mpa
Dzeko 321 mpa
Rooney 335 mpa
Tevez 340 mpa
Aguero 422 mpa
Torres 708 mpa
Dzeko also has the best goal-scoring rate in international matches. According to Wiki:
Dzeko: 29 goals in 54 appearances
Aguero: 20 goals in 50 appearances
Tevez: 13 goals in 62 appearances
Torres: 36 goals in 106 appearances
Rooney: 36 goals in 83 appearances
Van Persie: 35 goals in 76 appearances
With Pellegrini's more rapid attacking style and, in particular, with the service from Jesus Navas, Dzeko will thrive this season. I have always believed that - with the right manager - Kun Aguero + Edin Dzeko could be the most formidable strike partnership the premier league has ever seen.
