Now I'm not one for stats painting a whole picture, but if Negredo can match Dzeko's scoring record practically, whilst being a better all round player, does that not make him the better player, and the same ability wise striking? Therefore I know who I would have in my team. I like them both, but Dzeko has had time to prove himself and he's still struggling.
Dzeko is far from being an all round striker like say Sergio or Alvaro..
but!!! and its a pretty big but...
Sergio being the better all round striker has scored 52 goals in 76 games for City.. thats a 0.68 goals per game strikerate..Whereas Edin,faults n'all has scored 44 goals in 69 games for city..thats a 0.63 goals per game strike rate..
Now maybe its just me but the carthorse who cant pass,trap,head,tackle,run and work his socks off.. is doing pretty damn good..
This is why we should not even think about considering selling him to Spuds or Arsenal.. you all want a striker who puts a shift in..to be honest if he did actually put a shift in (which I dont think he can) hed be the prems top scorer by a mile..
Edin is Edin and even with his failings hes a top scorer of goals and we should be happy to have him in the ranks, Ive never said he was a great footballer,Ive always said hes a great scorer of goals..
Thats the difference,so less of the carthorse shb( bugger;)) and appreciate that we have someone who can and will win games for us..but sadly, not all the time..
