Edin Dzeko

From Dzeko's facebook page:

Edin Džeko
I am very angry about yesterday's headline and article in the Sunday Mirror. It says I confess to being part of a dressing room revolt and that I turned on Mancini.
I did not say these things when I spoke to Bosnian TV - the context is changed in the article. Also some of the my real words have been interpreted badly.

Lost in translation. Amazing how often that happens.

Just like his performances on the pitch, eh?
The Bosnian's see it as a MOTM performance, we see a lazy mardarse, strutting around.

Clearly havent been on this thread long enough or its 1st to 2nd iterations of it..

And personally I hate you the most. A troll pure and simple.

Ohh noes.. i wont be able to sleep tonight..

How upset were you when your team lost against Arsenal at the weekend?

Tbh this whole thread is a bit childish. Grown adults acting like kids. Some getting annoyed with people over praising him but chuckle when someone calls him a lazy idle bastard. Others behaving as if he can do no wrong and not accepting any criticism of him to the point of stupidity. Can't we just accept he does not play in the same way as Aguero and Negredo. He has his own style which also wins us games. Embrace the differences ;)
I just feel he deserves better than he is getting from both sides on here, he got us back into the QPR game and one of my many memories is him running back after his goal screaming to get the ball back. He does care and he is one of us. He deserves some respect and will always have mine. Perhaps both sides should take a deep breath and start afresh.

You could be right pominoz and if some of the posters on this thread do the same then what a wonderful world it would be ;)

That's the point for me, he has it in him to be a great player.

If he can he can rid himself of this "woe is me, i am so hard done by" bullshit, and get to work, he would be twice the player he is now.

Won it for us at Newcastle.

Came on and kept the scoring going against Norwich.

It's not the best time for people to complain about him when he is playing pretty well?

And at the end of the day his record speaks for itself.

My frustration with him is that despite a couple of goals and an assist, he's been incredibly poor in both games. Minimal effort, easily dispossesesed, poor body language, no fight.

That's a really interesting view.

What does it say about a striker that plays 'poorly' yet has the ability to score anyway?

Bit of a dichotomy in the general outlook of this thread.

The other interesting thing is despite the general dislike of Edin Dzeko on this board, the players celebrate his goals WITH him and not away from him like he is an outcast. So, thank goodness, that the players know what's what and not the majority of Clowns on this thread.


Keep it up Edin, the fans will only miss the scoring contribution when you go.

Actually I thought he played well against Norwich although I did have a 'not again' moment when he got the ball off Aguero and then just stood there while Norwich took it off him. He just wandered away slumped shouldered getting a WTF look of Sergio, thankfully he put a shift in after that.
Against Newcastle in the cup as said in the first 90 minutes he was poor but so was everybody else so you won't find me hanging him out to dry for that performance.

It says that he is a very capable footballer, when he wants.

 

[samharris]

y go so personal ?

Because I get sick of reading the same old crap from you all the time.

Im getting sick of reading the same shit over and over again when it comes to him being shit while actually having a decent game...

You'll feel better when you realise that you're dealing with idiotic morons..

Ultimately the Dzeko argument always comes down to the same thing, on the pro-Dzeko side of the fence you've got posters pointing out his past exploits (the QPR goal, his record at Wolfsburg etc) as well as his goalscoring record, whereas on the anti-Dzeko side of the fence you've got posters looking at the here and now and asking for more than just goals from Dzeko. It all depends where your views lie as to whether you're happy with what Dzeko is doing. Personally I think he needs to do more than score goals, we've got Aguero and Negredo who can score equally as often, if not more regularly, and they both bring other attributes to the table. Given our resources I don't think it's going out on a limb too much to say that we could sell Dzeko for a decent amount, and bring in another striker with the potential to score us 15-20 goals a season AND contribute in other ways to the first team. Dzeko is a little like Berbatov (although not as extreme an example), he'll never be a player who is overly bothered in anything else other than trying to score, which is great when he's scoring regularly, but for a club in City's current position we need more than that.

 

[JamesMCFC]

The only qualm I have of Dzeko is that he doesn't throw his weight about

He's a big lad and should try and bully people a bit more

Look at Negredo, even Silva and Aguero have a bit of tenacity about them.

 

[JasminBosnia]

The problem with Dzeko is we have 2 better strikers

Or debatably 3.

Round it to 10. So its three now plus two from EDS team, plus Michael Smith (22,Wimbledon on loan from Charlton), David Mooney (29,Leyton Orient) and pick three more from your neighborhood.

Yet despite his minimal effort,being easily dispossesed,poor body language and being incredibly poor with no fight he still scored 2 goals and had an assist..

Its a shame Moomba that you'd probably say the same if we had lost those games..

We could win every game from now til the end of the season by 1 goal to nil with Edin scoring every game but playing badly and we would all still be on here arguing fussing and fighting..


This isnt about Dzeko anymore..all that needs saying has been said by both sides and tbh its now just giving visitors to this site a good laugh..


This is about personal one upmanship battles between posters that will never be won..

Immovable object v an unstoppable force and all that..

To be fair, there's no doubt Aguero is far superior to Dzeko in almost every aspect whilst what we've seen of Negredo and even Jovetic they also both look better footballers

 

[City Raider]

He's one of ours so I'd certainly take his version of the interview over the tabloid press! It's funny how people who normally hate how the press treat us choose to believe them when it suits their own position.

He's as inconsistent and frustrating as fuck, but has a knack of important goals and we could do far worse from the bench.

A pretty fair assessment of the situation.

I really like Edin ... was a big season for him this one but I think sadly for him in Negredo we've simply signed a superior player who has developed a superior understanding with Kun. Come the summer I suspect Edin will be a Dortmund player, and if he is i for one will wish him all the best.

In the meantime though we have a hell of a lot of football to be played and it'll only take one injury for Edin to become paramount to our chances of winning things. For this reason alone I find it mad how many people are seemingly desperate for us to get rid of him.

Pretty much sums up my feelings. I would always have Negredo over Dzeko as he offers so much more than goals.
