Because I said he wasn't a great footballer. Any form of criticism, no matter how legitimate, is actually hatred. This is exactly why they are fanboys.
Let's have a bit of a thought experiment. Let's say that back in 2011 we went out and bought a big striker from Germany who was ripping up trees.
That's pretend that we threw an extra few million at it and got Lewandowski rather than Dzeko. Does anybody think that we wouldn't have won the league?

Really are showing yourself up something rotten in this thread Damo. You're no better than those you're clearly attacking.
BTW, IMO that post above is another example of one of the forum's moderating staff posting something which a non mod posted they'd at the bare minimum be warned for.
Whilst telling someone to "piss off" isn't the greatest thing to do, the rest of his post isn't exactly hugely inaccurate. Dzeko has brought with him a large number of "fans" who are following the player as opposed to the club he actually plays for. In and of itself I don't have a huge issue with that. What those fans have to realise is that this isn't an Edin Dzeko website, and we aren't, specifically, Edin Dzeko fans. We are Manchester City fans. We want what is best for Manchester City, we were here before Edin Dzeko became a Manchester City player, and we will be here after Edin Dzeko ceases to be a (current) Manchester City player. What is best for Edin Dzeko isn't always going to be what is best for Manchester City. On occasion he'll be left on the bench, because that is what suits the team at that point. We are ok with that. They, in the main, are not. It's this different area of focus that cause the friction. And yes, after a while, it becomes exceedingly boring.

I belive that up to now Dzeko has little bit better record in Germany than Lewandowski. Edin and his former teammate Grafite are the most successful strike duo in Bundesliga history. Dzeko was twice Bundesliga top scorer with 26 and 22 goals scorred, Lewandowski once with 20 goals. Dzeko has won Bundesliga player of of the year award, Lewandowski never did.

Got no problem with most of what you've posted Matty. I'm fully aware of the "fanboy" phenomena. However that isn't the first time that Damo has used the forum equivalent of "why don't you fck off back where you came from" and levelled it at the so called Dzeko fanboys. He's also clearly inflaming the thread in a manner which is totally unnecessary from a moderator. Again not the first time I've come across his overly aggressive overly negative posts with regards to Dzeko.
I posted in the thread in the Cellar about censorship - but I think it stands to reason that if you want to be seen as moderators and respected as such you can't inflame threads and generally you should avoid the "hot" topics. Like PB in the threads about Israel, from where I'm sat it just leads to more accusations of shit biased moderating because we all know that the standards aren't the same for all posters, and even it would seem for all topics.

I do think they should fuck off back to where they came from. They immensely irritate me because they aren't City fans but provoke arguments on a City forum. I've never hidden this.
I don't particularly want anybody's respect on here, I honestly couldn't care less what people think of me as a moderator outside of the group of moderators who actually see what decisions I make. You literally have no clue what or how I moderate.
I'm not going to stop posting my opinion on here just because people think that moderators are something other than cleaners. You whole idea of what a moderator is is just wrong. This is why you're struggling.

Bwhahahahahahahahahaha. Implying that Dzeko is better than Lewandowski, I've seen it all now.
Do you think he's better than Ronaldo aswell? I mean, he was the top scorer in the World Cup Qualifying European Section and Ronaldo played in that.
Dzeko won the Player's player of the year, a separate award.Zizi4City said:Damocles said:pudge said:Where are you seeing the word "hate"?

I see you haven't responded to my post. Lewandowski was unknown in 2011, he had only been signed in the summer, to suggest we would have signed him instead of somebody who had just scored at least 20 goals in the two previous Bundesliga seasons is beyond ludicrous. If the discussion is to continue you further I suggest you point out realistic alternative signings or continue to look like a petulant child who doesn't know what he is talking about.

It's just as boring as the posters who look for the negatives in his game rather than the positives. Who are on this thread like flies round shit as soon as he misplaces a pass etc. Telling everyone he is a donkey, lampost, couldn't trap a bag of cement all this while he is contributing to us winning trophies. Many posters are Bosnian on this thread but even if someone posts a valid argument they are dismissed as Bosnian fanboys. If ever a thread needed a fresh start it's this one imo.
