There isn't some magic number of goals that gets shared out at the end of the season based on talent.
People who have Silva, Nasri and Aguero assisting them should score more in about the same games as people who have Sinclair, Barton and Fowler.
It's not like when Anelka was here everybody just gave him the ball and left him to it. If Anelka was in this team instead of Dzeko, he'd have scored for fun
I'm not sure if you really rate Anelka as one of the top strikers of his day, but if you do, then I don't understand your argument - most pro-Dzeko posters will happily acknowledge that Aguero is better, so if you equate Anelka with Aguero, they'd probably agree.
On the other hand, if you're saying that a better-than-average journeyman striker (like Darren Bent?) could score a load more goals than Dzeko, given the support he has on the pitch, then you should use your contacts at the club to persuade them to swap him for one of the many better-than-average journeyman strikers around the world. We'd save a ton of money. Better yet, replace him with one of the many posters on here who could easily have scored that sitter against Stoke - they'll play for free, and the next time they get into position to receive the ball 18 inches from the line with no one around, they'll surely score and everyone will be happy.
