We have four top quality stirkers who should all be starting, they are all top drawer on their day. None of them are shit.
Perhaps it may be best if Edin took on a new challenge and went on to help another club win the Championsip, like he did with Wolfsburg and with us. Frankly I am embarrassed to read some of the comments made about Edin, he deserves better than that, and may be better appreciated elsewhere.
Bah, another Bosnian fan boy ;)
Nothing wrong in commenting if he's had bad game but to just say he's shit is just plain crazy.

He is shit when playing from the start and is clearly not suited to our tactic of not playing out and out wingers-There you go Wayne.

Then dont slate him when we dont play with out and out wingers its obvious why he cant do shit they dont play to his strengths.

Especially if they've been there for 2 years.
Considering the part in bold, this looks like a classic case of confirmation bias. I think it would help you to relax a bit and take a more wholistic approach as to why the team isn't performing to the same level with more or less the same players from last year, when we were firing on all cylinders.Shaelumstash said:I'm fucking sick to death of him now. I don't want any stats saying how great he is. I don't want any anecdotes of what a nice guy he is. I don't want any analysis of our other strikers / Mancini / our style of play. I don't want any obsessive fan boys tonguing his arse. I just want him to leave.
I've had enough. I've been saying he's shite since his second game for us, and I've seen very little in the two years since to change my mind. When he starts he is overwhelmingly consistently awful, and the team is consistently not as good when he's in it. He's had too many chances now, it's not a knee jerk, I'm not scapegoating him, he's just wank.
I genuinely hope he never starts a game for the club again, he's just not good enough. Good luck to him for the future, I wish him every success and happiness, but please leave because he is holding the team back.
If only he was as brave as you, with your internet shit talk...Seosa said:What I don't get is how such a big man can be such a wimp. He gets bitched off the ball pretty easily and he clearly has no fire in his belly. It's almost like he was brought up in a cozy household where the kids had tea parties with Teddy until they were 15; you really wouldn't think that he grew up in war torn Bosnia.

Ahem...A most sensible post. Fuck me we all know that City don't play with out and out wingers however Edin should adapt as you say. It's a lame excuse when people defend him saying "Well we don't cross the ball to him" . It's more than that for me. He doesn't work the line enough,his movement and touch are shocking. He has had long enough now. Time to move him on
Hahaha, oh yes very brave, he could have been killed by the man a foot smaller than, whilst in a stadium with tens of thousands of people watching and several hundred police.noise said:If only he was as brave as you, with your internet shit talk...Seosa said:What I don't get is how such a big man can be such a wimp.

Anyone sat behind the ball, who saw the trajectory of the cross he got on Saturday, will know the reason he got shit in that game. When you have seen it 1,000 times before, a ball delivered to perfection & you start to climb out of your seat as the striker moves into position, unmarked, ready to jump &......... nod it to fucking nobody, in the middle of the box.
Absolutely hopeless attempt, followed by one almost as bad a few minutes later, when he could have controlled the ball but chose to nod it to nobody.
(I didn't boo, mind you, that is for wankers)
