Looks like I posted this in wrong topic so here it is:
First of all, yes I'm Bosnian.
Second, I come in peace and realize that there are some Bosnians that have posted on here who you guys have not liked. That's your choice and theirs, how to act.
Now to the topic at hand... the Bosnian Diamond.
I honestly don't feel like Manchester City deserves this Diamond. And make no mistake about it, he IS a Diamond. I know that's not what you like to hear, but hear me out please.
Minutes Played in PL this season:
Tevez: 833
Aguero: 450
Balotelli: 432
Dzeko: 385
Goals Scored in PL this season:
Tevez: 4
Aguero: 3
Balotelli: 0
Dzeko: 6
Now let's put that in perspective. Tevez+Balotelli+Aguero combined: 1,715 minutes, 7 goals.... compared to Dzeko's 385 minutes and 6 goals.
I'm not saying stats are everything, but they should not be ignored either!
Think those #s through please. It's mind-blowing to me that he continues to not start. Knowing Dzeko (followed him his whole career), he deeply cares about starting and loyalty from a coach/fans/whole club. He is that way. That's why he went out of his way to make sure he wasn't particularly thrilled with the "SuperSub" nickname in one of his interviews.
I get the feeling that he will leave. Unless he becomes a regular in the starting 11, I think he will leave. It would be a shame. I do think City is a good club for him. I really do. Same way, I think he's good for City.
Now, with those staggering #s already covered... consider the (probably) most important aspect of them all. The guy has a knack for scoring crucial goals. Think back to last season when he first came to City, did he not score the goal that led to CL Qualifying? Did he not score the goal to keep City in the Cup (en route to their first trophy in decades)? Did he not score with the championship hanging by the thinnest piece of thread imaginable? All the game-winning goals this season.... He's done it for the national team too, Wolfsburg, even Teplice. He's just got "it".
I know one thing for sure, though. Dzeko will not settle for being a bench player, and who in their sane mind could blame him? It may be a tough decision for City, but a choice will have to be made if City wants him as a regular or not.
Congrats on your trophies from last year, and I'll be rooting for you to win this year as well. Cheers
