Watched a lot of Dzeko on the box and the majority of his goals come from quality crosses or free kicks.

Now if we look at our wide men.

Petrov is off, out of contract..

Bellers cuts inside and trys to go for goal..

Swp can beat a man but his crossing is so so..

Johnson is pretty good..

Robinho similar to bellers..

Weiss is like swp but dosnt track back enough ..

So in summary we need better crossers of the ball into the box than what we currently have. Also I don't know how Dzeko can fit into Mancini's preffered 4312 formation, he's not the sort of striker to work the channels he needs the ball to feet or to head.

What do you guys think?
 
Agreed, if Ade and Tevez had the sort of delivery that Dzeko had, we'd be much higher in the league. Many times we had no support from midfield and the crossing was poor until AJ came.

We definitely need a creative midfielder to supply the through balls and make chances from nothing.
 
I've only really seen this lad play for Wolfsburg, probably about 10 times or so( played very well in about 8), but I like him, I like him a lot, he seems to have that ability to single handedly drag the team forward when things are down, in much the same way Rooney has done with united at times this season, so for me definitely a goer.
 
if you have good attacking full backs then you can afford to have players like bellamy. i haven't seen to much of boateng but players like ashley cole and evra on the left often overlap players to deliver crosses.
so bu some qaulity full backs mr mancini!
 
I agree , mancini last season played his wingers on the opposite to where they'd prefer and from that position they cut in and cant deliver a cross really well . AJ from what I've seen can cross so why not let him attack on the left and find someone of a similar mould to attack the right
 
I agree a I also think he would be a good buy, also agree we need a right back and left back and a midfielder who can get forward and score a few goals.

Half the time when wingers got loose where was Ade ??
Yes out on one of the wings !!!
This is the one thing that really pisses me off with him.A true centre forward is there to collect balls from the centre.Look at his goals v Birmingham.Through the middle.
Bobby get him sorted for next season and tell him to spend more time down the centre and not on the wings.
And please NO excuses that he has to go looking for the ball.Most times our wingers were also looking for a big man in the 6 yard box.
