Yea, I was thinking to myself that Dzeko is like a bosnian version of andy carroll as they are so similar with style and ability, but carroll lacks the arrogance and selfishness of dzeko so I'd say you're probably closer to the truth with adebayor, though ade posesses more ability
How about the Bosnian Marco Van Basten
OK LETS MAKE THINGS SIMPLE
When City bought Dzeko he was one of TOP 10 STRIKERS IN THE WORLD ( wanted by half of Europe best teams ). City had ofered him and the club 10/15 % bigger money and Dzeko did not want to wait for summer transfer and he forced his JAN. move to City.
The minimum of the minumum requirement for such a player to be happy ( and play good ) is for him to be equaly rotated as a second striker. That means the same or similar amount of LEAGUE GAMES not Carling cups. If any player of such reputation would not get that will want to leave. Pellegrini gave Negredo 5 STARTS ( Man united, Aston Villa, Everton, West Ham and Norwich ) in PL and 2 STARTS aginst CSKA in a row.
Sory my friends it is not ROTATION. Pellegrini even said in pre CSKA interview that he changed Negredo on the half time with Dzeko just to REST HIM ( ?? ). Is this a way for Dzeko to be motivated. Pellegrini basicaly forced Dzeko in his moves, ....
Dzeko past accomplishments are inded huge ( Bundes liga TOP scorer, Bundes liga player of the year by players, Bundesliga champion with Wolfsburg in front of worlds top 5 team Bayern, Dortmund, .., Bundesliga BEST STRIKING duo of all times with Grafite, Biggest transfer out of bundesliga ever, Wolfsburg best player of all times voted by fans, Only City player to score 4 at away game, Best scorer and second best scorer at world/euro qualifayers, BEST TEAM OF EUROPE in CURRENT Qualifayers HE and van Persie were voted as best sriker duo, .... ). I know that he is not curently that good, but it DOES show his limitations, how good he can be and will be ( to all the haters ).
