Edin Dzeko

[birchvillablue]

Needs to take his chance, Negredo putting in a shift and he's not happy, get to it on the training ground and perform when you get the opportunity.

 

[BlueTG]

What is the most realistic scenario you guys see with him moving in January?

Depends on his desires, if he wants to move back into Continental Europe ie Germany, or stay in England. I hope he chooses elsewhere than England, as he can be lethal on his day. I'd personally take no less than £20m but I reckon we will be looking more around £15m plus add-ons.

 

[El Mago]

Never sell in January.

The guy is a match winner, and its important to keep him.

he stayed because pellegrini told him that he'd be the "main man" . it turned out to be nonsense. i'm pretty sure dzeko is going to ask for a transfer.

I think to be fair to Pellegrini he intended to, Began the season with him, started him against Bayern etc.. Just another player wanted it more and usurped him. He has his fans on here, but if we sell him in January I won't lose any sleep

 

[The_Mo]

How much was Negredo? 16 mill? Considering how highly some of you rate him, how much would you value Dzeko in comparison?

P.S. I also think Negredo is a superior player to Dzeko.

did he really ? it seems to me that he just wanted dzeko to stay so he can use him as a super-sub throughout the season.

It turned out that Negredo suits our system and partners Aguero better than Edin - that's all there is to it. Dzeko begun the season, but didn't really do enough to warrant a continued start. As is the case with the majority of people who watch the games live, and see what's going on off the ball, movement, runs and general interplay between Edin and his teammates, Pellegrini rightly decided it wasn't working. A couple of goals only glossed over his overall performances.
He isn't our "main man" because he isn't anywhere near good enough to be it - running to the media won't help his cause a bit, in fact it'll just turn more against him.

Sell him in the summer and bring somebody in with experience who is willing to sit on the bench without opening there mouth to the papers possibly someone like Nilmar.

Don't think he would chance the start of his city career starting someone he believed to be inferior than another option at the club mate, huge risk to take just for a good substitute option. Negredo's just outperformed him, and found his feet quicker than clearly even Pellegrini expected.

a young negredo would be worth 32 million. he's actually 28 years old, believe it or not. that's why his transfer fee was only 16.8 million.

i reckon dzeko is worth around £14 million.

We could replace him with a bucket and it will do a better job.

MP said that but I'm pretty sure that he meant it at the time and it wasn't nonsense.

Dzeko's fault for blowing it by being shit

I'm about 100% agreence with you just with a few tweaks. I'd rather not see him move anywhere in England, as i think that'd kick him in the ass whenever his new side plays us.


I was thinking about 15-18 euros for him in this window. Hopefully we can use that to bring in some needed depth at other positions. I've heard some whisperings of Schalke being interested.

"I think there was a lot of speculation from journalists but I never heard from the club they wanted to sell and you never heard from me that I wanted to leave," said Dzeko

"Edin Dzeko could leave Manchester City - Roberto Mancini

Comments (78)
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has admitted Edin Dzeko could leave the club in the summer.
Dzeko, 26, has been linked with a move to Borussia Dortmund with the Bundesliga champions reportedly negotiating a deal with City.
"At the moment, there is nothing. In the end, maybe, I don't know. In the summer, it could be possible," said Mancini about the Bosnian striker.
City signed Dzeko from Wolfsburg in January 2011 for £27m.

The Bosnian striker has scored 38 goals in 99 appearances since joining the Premier League champions.
Despite 13 goals this term, Dzeko has failed to earn a regular starting place in Mancini's line-up.
Mancini revealed in November that Dzeko was frustrated with his "super-sub" tag following a number of goals after coming off the bench.
But the City manager does want the former Wolfsburg forward to stay at Etihad Stadium despite his concern he could leave.
"Dzeko is an important player for us. We want him to stay here," he said."

I'll tell you why I ignored him, it was because I've watched Dzeko with my own eyes and made my own mind up without having to trawl through stat after stat arguing one way or another. His overall game this year hasn't been good enough. In very short spells he's shown genuine class and as an out and out goal scorer it would be hard to argue with what he's done so far.
Where I feel yourself and a couple of others are missing the point is the way we play can't afford passengers - that's the crux of it. Negredo brings so much more to our team than Edin and if he can't do the dirty work as well as the goals then he'll be second fiddle for a while yet.
There's no great conspiracy, it's just a simple fact of doing what's best for the team, not for Edin.
