Cut out the bickering lads, or at least keep it to PMs rather than derailing the thread.

If idiotic comments, with the sole intention to provoke others, weren't posted then there would be no bickering or derailing.
 
Getting back on topic, I believe we'll see an improved and more motivated Dzeko this season. I think last season was fraught for everyone involved with the club as the pressure to win that first premiership was immense on everyone from Roberto downwards. I also think it would be foolish of Edin to want to move unless the club made it clear they didn't want him, as at City he will continue to play games, score goals, and win trophies, even if he isn't ever the top dog here. The arguments about who's better, whether it be Tevez, Balo, or Edin, are all moot. All three players are City players and it shows how far we've come that we can discuss their relative worth to our playing squad. I suspect any two of those three are better than the forward line of most all top clubs in Europe.
 
I hope Dzeko stays, and would be more than happy to start the season with the same four strikers as last season. I think we have other, more pressing priorities in terms of the squad.

Agreed. Why fix something that isn't broken. We were the top scorers in the league last season. I think for at least another season we are set for strikers. I'd much rather our attention was on midfield.
 
I'm again going to raise the theory that Mancini wants a striker who is consistent and clinical to partner Aguero. Mario is quite clinical but inconsistent. Dzeko is quite clinical but inconsistent. van Persie is clinical and consistent, as have been three of our other mooted targets (Cavani, Higuain, Falcao) perhaps not by coincidence.

This sort of Mancini interview was more common than people think last season:

"It's not impossible to score a goal and it's important we score the goal. We had too many chances to score."

"In the first half we didn't play very well but in the second half we were much better and had a lot of chances to score. We didn't score but then we conceded two or three counterattacks in the last 10 minutes, which were really dangerous."

For me it is like putting the pieces in a jigsaw, you know the piece, looks right got the right interlocking bits, but when you put it in you almost have to force the blighter to fit, deep down you know it ain't right but just want it to fit. Dzeko is that piece, RVP is the piece that actually fits. IMO. :-)

Although I understand the point you are making, I don't see RVP (or indeed the other forwards you've mentioned) as being significantly more consistent than the forwards we have. All players miss chances, and although it's something we were guilty of often last season, that type of situation will in my opinion always arise when you have a team who are winning a game. Psychologically I imagine players lose a little bit of focus as soon as their team is leading.

I have to agree but I think we now have that partner in Tevez. Remember after the loss to Arsenal he said if we had Aguero we would have scored and that Aguero is our best striker.

Mario would cost more to buy than Tevez.
Age and potential weigh heavily in that debate.
Still true none the less.

Who would you rather keep and who would you sell, if we had to.

I'd keep Mario and sell Tevez, If we had to.

But again, that's based purely on potential. Still, Tevez is the better player.

Exactly. Who's better Carroll or Ibrahimovic? Yet Ibrahimovic went to PSG for less.

The argument is who's the better player. The answer is Tevez.

The season before last yes.

Last season, impossible to tell.

Next season, we will see.

Yeah I suppose we will.

After a decent Euros, Balotelli now has a platform to build from with City and take than form into the new season. There's no doubt he has the potential to be even better. But if you was to ask me who I would want to spearhead my front line, as well as Aguero, it'd still be Tevez.

Exactly, we will have to wait and see but at the moment, overall, throughout their respective careers, Tevez is the better player.

Which is the discussion (yes, I know it's the Dzeko thread)
