Edin Dzeko (continued)

[BringBackSwales]

Played OK tonight no doubt but what irks me is some of them including Dzeko only seem to fancy it, in high profile games. His body language was spot on tonight geeing people up but him and others go missing against the lower placed clubs in the Premiership.

he generally plays better away from home - to be fair to the away fans they don't give him the stick that he gets at home matches, fact, and generally players do better when they are not being slagged, booed, criticised etc

Slagging of a confidence striker is a lose lose proposition.

Tbh slagging of any player at the match itself is shit

He does need to be more consistent though

Can be brilliant, and then in lesser games, he can disappear

The best players, like Suarez for example are always up for it.

Gotta say, Iv never heard Dzeko booed at any game ever.

 

[pudge]

Brilliant when he came on, and bar a fine save from Valdes and a disgraceful refereeing decision he could easily have turned the game on it's head by himself.

His good run of form earlier in the season began after Bayern away, hopefully this performance does the same.

 

[LookIfoundmyKnob]

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.

Yes I agree Marvin. I am one of the few who seems to rate Edin, but your point is a fair one<br /><br />-- Thu Mar 13, 2014 9:11 am --<br /><br />

One of the home games earlier this season, EL2, was corroborated by another poster on here, just 2 or 3 doing it. Unfortunately senility prevents me from remembering who it was against

Somebody has broken into pudges account here.

 

[its a Barm]

we are going to need edin & negrado to step up now kun is out again both have had a poor patch and i am sure they will get back to top form just in time for the run in.

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.

This - great post. And it maybe no coincidence that reports surfaced that he will be allowed to leave, perhaps we can use the fact he may want to impress several suitors? Frustrating to a fault - could be the best goalscorer in the Prem if he put his mind to it but too often feels the world is against him. I have no idea why as anyone playing for City is a very lucky man indeed.

 

[Matty]

Best City player tonight.

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.

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 ?

I'm sure Dzeko would have been sold last season if City received a suitable offer but unfortunately clubs think we are a charity.
According to some tv pundits City are still paying a large portion of Adebayor's wages.

And such attitude for a player that earns 8m euros is absolutely unacceptable.

First of all, why are you quoting a post that's 2 months ago? No social life? LOL

Also, I did not misspell my user name (Madrid + Modric = Madric) and with overall, I obviously meant how we - as a team - are playing. Kun Agüero for example is a striker that is technically so good that he can also play in midfield while this is not possible with Edin. Edin can be good inside the box where he usually awaits the crosses of one of our fullbacks or for Negredo/Agüero/Jovetic to pass the ball to him, but other than that, outside the box, he BARELY does anything productive, useful at all for the team.

There is a clear reason why Roberto and Manuel prefer other strikers over him while he has been playing here for quite some time now. The only competition where he is the regular starter was the Cup and there he just scored against little teams most of the time this season.

Sorry but I really don't see how Edin Dzeko should take us to the next level, he's just not good enough to succeed at a title contender, because his inconsistent work rate, lack of a decent first touch and lack of a good dribble are legitimate reasons to not play him. He's a good finisher when he's in good shape and was one of our best players against Barcelona, however.
