I cant believe so many of you waste so much time hating Dzeko so much when bottom line is he's our 3rd choice striker. He helped us win both the fa cup and league tittle. He stays fit . And he wants to be here and be successful for us. Get afucking life seriously!!!!!
Well said
Can't think of many better 3rd choice strikers in the Premiership.
There have been some occasions in the past when it has looked as if his heart wasn't 100% in it but
I think he has responded well to MP's methods and has been a useful replacement for Aguero recently.
Unfairly maligned by too many here.
Well I do not agree. He did not responded well to managers methods. His desire is leading some of great european teams and be theirs main man. HE can only be "tricked" to stay if given enough PL games. Dzeko had more than once said that he wants to play. He said to BBC that he WANT to play games and will NEVER be super sub. ( there is video clip on youtube, posted here also ). He also have said 40,50 days ago that he do not understand why have Pellegrini benched him just after three games and that he wants to play PL games. And that Carling cups and CL are not enough. ( 10 days ago link was posted here ).
The problem is, as some moderators have said over here. If I remember correct even 1 year before. He would be GREAT third striker. But he had publicly said more than once that he does not want to. I predict when Aguero come back. This manager will bench him instead of Negredo and it could be the last straw.
You all should ask your self. Why would anybody wanted from Arsenal, Inter, Milan, Chelsea, Dortmund, Valencia now and many great clubs 1,2 years ago would agree to be bench player. If he would be starter there or probably play a lot more important role than here.
Reason why I am wasting my time here is. Because I would really like that Dzeko stays in best league in the world. Pellegrini would not dare to allow him to go to Arsenal or Chelsea. So there is only City. Bundesliga or Serie A are not so attractive. And Dzeko is good enough for PL and deserves it. As some posters here have said. Put him in Arsenal or Chelsea and watch them win the league. It is true. He is not Solskjaer. He is better than him. And Solskjaer was the best of third strikers ever.
The only solution I see. Is to play Negredo in home PL games. And Dzeko in away PL games with Aguero playing home and away if fit. Dzeko being great in away games. And Negredo being much worse in away than his home games. Should help. And if it was done from the start this year. City would probably be first in PL allready. Liverpool needs strong bench and will not be as good as City. At least not this year. United have problems with new manager. Chelsea and Arsenal have HUGE problem of having just one "inform" striker. And that one striker is worse than Citys third. This serious flaws of opponents should allready been used to Citys advantage. But it was not the case.
