I thought Dzeko played well when he came on, and he made a real difference upfront, but that comment is just ridiculous. Vincent Kompany was light years ahead of any other City player against Barcelona. Kompany is simply a superb footballer, I really can't think of another centre half in World football that I'd say was better.Jazzy.ba said:Best City player tonight.
City1974 said:Dzeko and a wider point on transfer sales
In the last week there have been suggestions that Inter Milan are interested in buying Dzeko at around £ 15 million in the summer. We paid around £ 27 million for him of course.
Also in the last week or so heard that Chelsea will offload Torres to such as Inter Milan or Monaco for around £ 20 million
Surely Torres with 3 years of such poor form against Dzeko (although with many critics, but a good goalscoring record) is not worth more than Dzeko.
Why do we always seems to get poor deals both when selling and buying players. if Chelsea get £ 20 million or about for Torres we should ask at least £ 25 million for Dzeko.
Even last summer we should have got more than £ 10 million for Tevez (at least £ 15 - 18 million I would have thought) and rather than loan Barry to Everton (who like all Prem. League teams get good TV money and also who got £ 27 million for Fellaini) (and we probably still pay a good part of his wages) , we should have insisted that if Everton want him, they have to buy him (at least £ 5 million). If Everton would not, and Barry wanted first team football, someone else would no doubt have taken him, and he would have gone for playing time.
Are we going also to do the same with Rodwell , loan him out, pay part of his wages and let his contract gradually run down and down (£ 12 million spent on him if i recall)?
What is going to happen with Scott Sinclair (another £ 6 million we spent) ?
We may as well have sold Lescott for a few million in Jan or last summer if the manager does not want him. about £ 22 million we paid for him and another who will go on a free like Barry
Also how do Chelsea get around £ 16 million for De Bruyne, a player only ever on the fringes of their squad? Id they can get this we by logic should then be able to get a similar amount if we wanted to sell Lopes ?
We should insist on sales for our more senior\first team\squad players when they are no longer wanted by the manager, and only loan out such as EDS for experience to see how they go.
We need to get Daniel Levy to negotiate all our Transfer activities from now on ! (This might be a worry if our manager says he want Jan Vertonghen as partner to Vincent Konpany).
If Porto still want £ 38 million for Mangala we should tell them where to go, and similarly £ 12 million for Fernando when he should have been on a free transfer this summer.
When was the last time we got a good deal selling or buying a player - Shaun Wright Phillips maybe or Paul Stewart way back when ?
gmckennasell said:dzeko has to be the most frustrating and inconsistent player in our squad , he was superb against Barca , total contrast to his wigan performance , if he could put 100% effot into every game , he would truly be world class , but his atttude stinks , he wants to play the big games , but wont put a shift in against lesser teams , to earn his place for the big games.
LookIfoundmyKnob said:Madric said:jared said:I like him to stay. It isn't easy being a third choice and still score the amount of goals he has when called upon. He brings different options to the team and with jovetic coming back I have a feeling they will work well with each other.
Different options? I don't think so.
I think he's a good striker inside the box, but adds nothing to our game overall.
I also think he and Javi Garcia earn too much money for the quality they show on a regular basis.
Interesting that you consider City your team but when you were over in BigSoccer you "supported" Real Madrid...
Oh and by the way, you misspelled your name and saying a striker is good inside the box but going on to say he provides nothing overall is an oxymoron. Either he does something or he does nothing at all.

The big picture is exactly what people frothing at the mouth about Dzeko usually miss.
