Edin Dzeko (continued)

[The Fat el Hombre]

Dzeko must be our spearhead from now until the end of the season.

Steady on. We've seen Edin play good games before only to relapse. Let's see how he does

Is it a pre-requisite for football videos to have shit music over them?

Fixed :-)

I've criticised him a lot on here, and I'll stand by the belief that it was deserved at times, but I can't help but like him a fucking lot more this season. He's had a lot more consistent periods when he's played, he's in his highest scoring season for us with hopefully some more crucial goals to come, and once again he's helped tear the rags apart with two goals. Add to that he's looked a lot happier this season.

As a confidence player, Pellegrini has managed him superbly. When he's had his bad games he's invariably kept him in the side to play his way back into form. Dzeko has benefitted from a pile of injuries to our forwards, but overall he's had a good season. I was really pleased for him the other night. He deserved it.

And another: he does score some beauts, and when he hits it it stays hit.

40 minute interview. Something for everyone in this I suppose.

First goal for a City player against real Madrid. Fastest PL goal against the rags at the swamp by anyone. Second fastest derby goal ever. Scores goals away from home (unlike some). Goal that sent us into the CL for the first time. Goal that kept us in the FA Cup when we won it. Equalizer against QPR when we win title. First City player to score 4 in the PL. First time in 40 years we've won three derbies in a row at the swamp with Edin scoring 4 in the two games he's played in. This season he's actually scored most goals since being at City. So let's sell him. Sound idea. Came to football late, is 28, relatively injury-free, loves the club...if we are giving him the same we give everyone else he is on the cusp of his best years. Anymore for the love-in?

Genuine question, did he?

Well said.

Edin is one of the best strikers in the world and he shouldn't be allowed to leave for less than £40 million.

Re: Edin Dzeko - don't let him think

I thought he worked his bollocks off last night, and has much more this season than previous ones. Maybe its the Beast that has brought this about as he's a hard worker, maybe its Pellers showing him more love than Bobby or a bit of both. Either way he looks much more bothered about the dirty side of the game.

I agree on his finishing, much better if he hasnt got time to think

I think it's a combination of Pellegrini and the fact that Fans started being more vocal about hiw work rate (both City fans and Bosnian NT ). I think the Bosnia game vs. Egypt must have been an eyeopener for Edin. Fan support is important to Edin. In the post-match interview he kept repeating how happy he was for the fans.

Pellegrini deserves a lot of credit too. This is what he said after the game "“I am very happy for him because he is a player that I think improves a lot this season, not only because he scores goals but because he is working the whole match,” Pellegrini said. “At the start of the season maybe he was not working so hard without the ball. Today I think Edin is in a very good moment, because he scored and he worked the whole match.”"

 

[Sigh]

In that interview he said he was 10 before he started playing. That's late by anyone's standards. Not insurmountably late, but late nonetheless.

 

[Blue Til Death]

I posted this before the Derby:

Dzeko will shine again tonight, its written in the stars.. ;-)

 

[Santiago Street]

Goalscoring hero, love him to bits

 

[Sigh]

Another for the love in.
"Fuck me...what a finish"

Listen to the hate. Shameful.

As I tried to get at in an earlier post, for whatever reason, this lad scores important goals: the three point catch and shoot from the corner as the game clock runs out; and the goal that actually has a history-tag attached. The commentators on this video for both his first goals for us (first ever, and first league) were somewhat prescient viz his time served.
"First goal and it's a big one" and "First goal for Manchester City in the Premier League and it could be a big one!".

[AzRim]

He was 10 in '96, at around the time the Bosnian war stopped. Hard to be an active player during the siege of your city.

 

[Sigh]

Yeah. I read one day his mum stopped him going to play with his friends, some of whom were then killed by an explosion on the very field Edin would have been playing on. Don't know if that is true, false, or exaggerated.

 

[Gypsy Jim]

Yea both Edin and Mirza Teletovic who now plays basketball for the Brooklyn Nets were about the same age in Sarajevo during the siege.

Yeah he survived the siege of Sarajevo (the longest siege of a capital city in the history of modern warfare). He must have been starving as a kid too while trying to play football. Unique story.

 

[kismet]

Yup I'm for the Edin love in.

Over 50 years of supporting City I have met many players over the years. However the two nicest, most humble and sincere players that I have met are Colin Bell and Edin Dzeko. Both gentlemen and wonderful people to speak to.

Hope some of his haters who sit near me in ES level two read this thread, oh and by the way my use of the word hate is chosen to reflect what I hear whenever he is on the pitch.
Just remember never boo a Blue OK.

thanks pal, at least I am not the only one who has heard this in EL2; those who do it are classless twats

 

[pudge]

Can someone who has watched City for 50 years post the leading scorers each league winning year please?

Or tell me how nice he is?
