Edin Dzeko

[robbieh]

It is looking likely that Edin is in Pelle's plans so some of you are just gonna have to get used to it. His stats are impressive because he is, unlike Kun, a natural finisher. Kun has lots of other attributes, like speed, workrate and scoring the impossible goals.

Edin is more like Van Nistleroy. Just knows where to be.

I reckon the front 3 will be Kun Edin Navas.

What we do behind that lot will depend on the opposition. 3 from Silva, Nasri, Yaya, Dinho, Rodwell and Milner.

Garcia I have a hunch will play CD quite a lot.

We do need one striker, but we will not get Fred, Negredo. They at their age and with a world cup will want action in the big games.

It will have to be a young guy. Looking at the list Lukaku anyone?

I have no problems with Dzeko staying providing he wants to and whether Manuel Pellegrini can get the best out of the player.

So much pressure on navas from some blues.

I dont know what people are expecting, just because we have a winger doesnt mean dzeko is just going to start banging them in.

Let's first agree on the facts. Dzeko IS banging them in.

second highest goals per minute striker in the league. The biggest difference this time is that Pellegrini may use Dzeko as the first option. And Navas will bring even more service to Dzeko, who's never stopped scoring goals for us.

Except of course for the 11 games he once went without scoring

How many minutes did he play in those 11 games? RVP had a 9 game drought while being a starter.

Don't compare him to Van Persie. Surely even the biggest Dzeko fan would admit he isn't as good as him.

And everybody was laughing at RVP.

It was reported at the time as more than 10 hours of football, so the equivalent of at least 7 full 90 minute games for Dzeko btw.

Also, that figure of "more than 10 hours" was reported 3 games before his next goal (albeit he was out injured for one), in which he played a further 115 minutes as well (which included a full 90 minutes, shocker!)

So he did stop scoring...

Bullshit. You just eat up shit media says?

This is the drought:

Of those so called 11 games he didn't score in, he only started 4, and also didn't play at all in 4.

Im referring to his goal drought during the 2011/12 season. The one he broke with winner against Wigan in January.

So no, not bullshit.

Sorry.

Although, thanks for highlighting a separate period of at least 8 hours of football without him scoring. Looks like he stopped scoring for us twice?!

That was a legitimate slump:

But again with interruptions in continuity/injuries.
