Edin Dzeko

[pudge]

they are in the past and the future. tevez has no future, he's too old. do you know anything about football ?

Do you? You contribute nothing outside of this thread

Age is just a number, Tevez is one of the fittest players in the squad and scored 17 times last season.

Dzeko scored goals. That's what he's paid to do, and he did it. 14 goals from a #3 striker is a luxury. He isn't the reason he finished 2nd rather than 1st. He's the reason we finished 2nd rather than 5th.

Tevez is paid to score goals too, he scored 17.

I hope for your sake you didn't mean to generalize and say that Edin is the sole reason we finished second.

That's still not close to being good enough. If you're going to be the most used striker, your goal/assist total better be around 30 if your team has dreams of winning league. Kun had a goal/assist total of 32 last season. Almost double.

I have said it's not good enough, probably about 5 times now.

kun had 3 injuries i believe. dzeko is third choice striker. what excuse has tevez got ? no excuse whatsoever. he's a good player but signs of wear and tear are showing and this is the window were we ought to cash on him.

Right, and 14 goals from your #3 striker IS good enough. It's more goals than any of the other 19 team's #3s. He scored 14 goals last year when we won League, and he backed it up, in a similar amount of playing time this season. Dzeko was good in his role as a #3. Tevez on the other hand was shite in his role as the most used striker.

If you believe Edin didn't under perform to any capacity last season, then I envy your naivety

He far exceeded the expected goal expectations of our fifth choice Right Back!

What's funny is we've been talking for 30 minutes and you haven't disputed my claims that his scoring was up to par for the role Mancini assigned him.

All you've said is that he sauntered around and got beat in the air.

Points are awarded for scoring not style my friend. Do you have a scoring argument?

What argument?

My initial post, made 2 days ago for that matter, stated a fact.

I then said all 3 of our strikers under performed last season, again that's a fact.

I took offence to your claim that Tevez's season was "embarrassing".

I have stated Tevez's goal scoring rate was unacceptable, the fact that I didn't dispute Edin's obviously indicates something doesn't it?

Instead I offered examples as to how he has under performed in other aspects of his game. Goals are not the be all and end all of a strikers job description, if it was let's sign Jordan Rhodes.

I could say you haven't disputed any of my claims as to how Edin has under performed.

Bumping a 2 day old post, which again stated a fact, wasn't really what I expected.

Last season we topped the EPL.

This season we finished 2nd.

Next season doesn't start until Aug.

Season's officially over,hence why I referred to it as "last season"

If that's what you took and chose to dispute from that post then that says a lot

"Pedantic" must be the theme of the day on here

No, I'm just amused you troll this thread when you don't have anything good to say about the player.

So I get a kick myself for trolling you.

What's that you say? Your ''pathetic''? You shouldn't be so rough on yourself.
