Indeed, that was my first post on here but I have been a regular reader for years. That yours should prompt me to actually respond, given the garbage that is often spouted, should tell you just how incomprehensibly stupid I thought your retort was.
I may be wrong sir, and no offence, but you sound a little like someone who attaches himself to a club when a player from your country/region/star system joins them.
I concede that I am not the greatest fan of your man, Edin, having nicknamed him 'Edin the Elephant' quite a long time ago. Does this make me 'Anti Dzeko' - No. Well, yeah, probably.
'Oh but his ratio of goals to minutes on the pitch... blah de irrelevant blah.'
I am not really interested in stats as they can often betray the full story, which in the case of the elephant is this... He. Isn't. Very. Good.
Said many times before (look, I do read) his first touch is lamentable, he offers the strength of a lion savaged giraffe, has legs are heavier than a fat Dawn French, (google her) and he hides. That's right, he hides, running into channels where he knows he won't be an option.
Add to that a work ethic that can be best described as 'cannot be arsed' and we have your poster boy Edin Dzeko!!!
To put him in the same post as David Silva is a little like comparing Benarbia with Steve Kinsey!!! (Again... google them)
Please first check FAQ of this forum to learn how to quote.
Second, I am not Dzeko fanboy, I mean I don't support him anything more than Silva, Aquero, Hart, Milner or anybody else in team, actually I support team and club, not any particular person against club.
Third sir, what made you to write your first two and only posts on our bench player thread? Tell us main reason what you are doing here? Yes we are pissed all because they lost from Wigan, but we cannot blame Dzeko for that, he was on bench, and our "genius" from Italy kept him on bench until last 30 sec of match I suppose he want to help Wigan to win that game, so he used Dzeko replacement in last minute to "buy" time for Wigan.
In the past Dzeko was not our biggest problem, so I don't understand why we had so big thread about him, and answer is because of the hate of anti-Edin brigade. I don't know reasons for that hate, but it is obvious.
So if Dzeko this season failed on bench, and he is still our top scorer in league, what is disgrace that our supersub scored the most goals this season, than what was happened with our manager and first team players, why they failed against Wigan? Like you see, I don't call anybody with ugly names, I still support them very much, but we need to found what was a problem and we need to fix that problem. What I am sure is that Dzeko is not our main problem, and even he is not our problem, because he had a status of bench player, and even like that kind of the player, he scored most goals this season. So if he scored most this season, than our main players must score much more than he was. Dzeko did his part, he is here to score goals, and he did his job. Yes, he looked laisy, he was not active enough on field when Mancini gave him a chance, but I am not sure, perhaps he was pissed on Mancini or with his status in club, I don't know about that, but if I am him, and if I wish to stay, I will be much more active.
But again, I think we don't even have a problem with strikers, we need good connection between defense and strikers, so that mean we need much better middle field, we need wings, and we need to play much faster than we play now. Our contra-attacks are slow motion, and finally our main problem was incompetent manager. So club recognized main problem, and they will fix that problem, for rest, we will see.
Dzeko ex girlfriend?
