Edin Dzeko

According to Google, dream is calling me a Serbian nationalist?

No google can translate that, which only confirms that what I said is true.

To put your paranoid delusion to bed;

Only in the Dzeko thread...

I would suggest he's most certainly no higher than 3rd choice (behind Aguero and negredo). He's ahead of Jovetic, but a lot of that is down to Jovetic's lack of fitness and, therefore, playing time. If he gets fit, and gets a few games under his belt, perhaps he will indeed relegate Dzeko to 4th choice.

In all honesty I don't think it;s as simple as 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th choices. I think it's likely to be 1 from Aguero/Jovetic, paired with 1 from Negredo/Dzeko, with the possibility of utilising Jovetic's versitility and playing him in a wider position. I don't believe Dzeko and Negredo together makes a very good partnership, I think you need to play one of those 2 alongside one of the other 2 (Aguero and Jovetic). I think you could play Aguero and Jovetic together, but that City would work better with just 1 of them paired up with one of the bigger guys.

Dzeko needs more consistency in his play to make himself the better choice when it comes to him or Negredo, he needs to bring more to his game than scoring goals (because that can't always be relied upon, and a striker needs to be contributing even when he isn't getting too many chances to score), and he doesn't really do that. Negredo does.

I agree, as far as strikers MP should pair Jovetic with Negredo vs. West Ham and rest Aguerro&Dzeko due to heavy and very important international games tomorrow. Dzeko could get some time in second half if we are chasing goal or two. Jovetic or Aguerro paired with Dzeko should be playing CC vs. Newcastle and Aguerro/Negredo vs. CSKA.

We all know Edin can contribute to a team even though he does not always score, he did it several times in the past. Not sure what is going on through his head when he doesn't perform well and he does not score. I think Zlaja mentioned "Balkan don't give a fuk syndrome" due to various reasons (i.e. when he is not in first 11, or MP did not praise him for good game, or "name a MCFC footballer" did not pass the ball to him, or whatever), but I don't think he has any issue with it. He is paid big money and should got over any delicate situation the quickest possible way.

Negredo showed some talent and dedication, he fight for the spot and he does it well. But, it takes more than 7 games to realize what kind of player he is. He might be ahead of Edin because he worked hard, just need to be more clinical.

I guess you all know strikers are not a problem this season, right?

City have got a huge number of games ahead of them this season so it's pretty obvious that all 4 striking options will get a decent amount of game time, some more than others, but all of them will play a significant part in our season. The issue Dzeko has is that he, as is understandable, wants to be the "go to guy" who is selected for the truly high profile matches. However his performances over the last 8 or 9 months haven't warranted his selection in these games. Simply put, if I'm looking to pick City's strongest possible lineup, for the match against Chelsea in a couple of weeks, then, assuming we start with 2 strikers, I'd be picking Aguero and Negredo. This is simply because, on form, and on contribution to the team, they are our best options at present. If Dzeko isn't happy about this then he has it within his own power to do something about it, all he needs to do is improve to the levels he has previously shown he can reach. If he can't, or won't, reach these levels, then he's no-one else to blame for not being the main option for City when it comes to strikers.

well said that man... Dzekos game is about scoring goals, forget about the hard work bollocks its not really his way..when he gets his scoring form back he will do the bizzo for us..til then hes down the pecking order and rightly so.
But he is good enough for City, those who say otherwise need to get a grip..

You are really a top class idiot and a just fuck off with that shit. If you have balls, then type it in English and say what you want to say. Leave your racist remarks out of the football forum and stop embarrassing yourself ffs.

pudge,

Hats off if you translate "Jarane" :D

Outers and Inners need to calm down in order to keep this thread clean and with less posts. The most posts here are about whether or not he is footballing god or wank, top world class striker or donkey, best ever footballer in MCFC or lampost.

Anyway, it's always lovely to pop in here once in a while just to see if the fires from the Dzeko war are still burning strong. Apparently discussing Dzeko follows the same principles of MAD.

Nice post Jasmin.

I think strikers will be crucial this season and we have to use them all effectively.

If we keep a striker and don't sell, we have to play him regularly or his confidence dips. A striker who lacks confidence is no good to us.

I think Dzeko is low in the pecking order. He is a very strong guy, the strongest of the City players according to Yaya. I think this is based on his work in the gym. However, I don't believe he uses his strength enough. Negredo works the central defenders more and uses his strength better.

Dzeko needs to work harder and not drop his head and lose interest so easily. I think this is his season to prove himself and if not he might be out by January if a decent bid (£20 million) comes in.

Edin is our current top striker, much more consistent than Aguero - And I'd argue he puts more effort in off the ball than Aguero too - but Aguero has much more skill to go past multiple players.

Just to lighten the mood a little;

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2458468/Edin-Dzeko-posts-picture-Severina-Vuckovic-Manchester-City-shirt-Twitter.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... itter.html</a>

Looks like young Edin has pulled. As the Americans would say; ''way to go, Edin!
