Edin Dzeko

[moomba]

That's a really interesting view.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
