Edin Dzeko

[pominoz]

Shame i aint Bosnian nor joined due to him coming into the club.

One would think otherwise reading most of your posts, just saying.

:s. Ye true but i really don't care tbh :S. Hes a word class striker that just gets shat on these forums simple as that.

Wrong on both counts, but we have been there before.

IF i remember rightly lots of his goals for wolfsburg were score from inside the box which is a place City seem reluctant to put the ball, especially the case under Mancini. Averaged above 1 in 2 for them and 31 in 79 for us which cant be sniffed at especially when we are not playing to his strengths.

Negredo looks specia!

He does not get shat on, people point out his faults, as they do with every other player.
He also is not world class.

If a 30 mill offer came in for Dzeko or Negredo in January who would you be most disappointed to see go? I think most people would happily wave goodbye to Dzeko.
(and lose a good few fans from bluemoon..... you know who they are)

Negredo, as I believe Dzeko's best, is better than Negredo's.

Plus, Negredo would need to have some season up until January for someone to offer almost double what we paid

Seriously? He gets more undeserved hate than any player on the squad. Even against Newcastle, where he was our best player on the pitch, he was getting shit on for not scoring. People make novelty accounts (like "dzekolol") just to shit on him.

That's your opinion and I respect that.

He wouldn't get half as much criticism if his supporters weren't so defensive regarding his flaws. World class? Can say hand on heart if that's the case he truely is the worst world class player I've ever seen. How many world class performances has he produced in a man city shirt? Even average players can put in a world class performance once in a bluemoon as Edin proves.

I don't think he's as bad as portrayed on here by many including myself however the only way to get through to people on here is to work with extremes & he's a lot closer to average than world class.
He may have been world class at Wolfsburg but those that reach the top don't always stay there, players can peak young, players can peak old, they may be one season wonders they may have over a decade at the top. My fear with Edin is he's had his time.

Really need to stop peeping in here.

As for the world class comment. World class is a vague term. To me all our strikers are world class. Dzeko is the most accomplished of them. 2nd best striker in Euro qualifications, top striker in current WC qualifications, 2 times bundesliga player of the year voted by the players, Ballon d'Or shortlister. Won Bundesliga first time ever with a mid table team, all time Bundesliga record holder for the most scoring partnership, won PL first time in 44 years (he played major parts in both accomplishments), Man City record holder for most goals scored against another PL side.. doesn't get much more world class than that.

The fact that he's thrived and managed to be the top league scorer despite getting the Sinclair treatment from Mancini alone tells me he's world class. What I mean by that, is that Mancini bought a wrong player. He never intended to use Dzeko for his strengths, which made Dzeko less effective, but that's not Dzeko's fault now is it?

For a player like Dzeko Raul should be the template that's what a world class striker looks like & that's what Edin isn't.

World class is a tag few can hold It's why there 'world class'. It shouldn't be banded around to any tom dick or harry that can scores a few goals.

Dzeko's scored more than Raul in half the time, just saying. Raul was in Bundesliga and he was average at best there. Which really underlines the bias people have against Dzeko.

OH BUT YOU KNOW IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE GOALS, LOL

 

[berniethebusman]

In which parallel universe has Dzeko outscored Raul? Or I have read it wrong, do you mean if Dzeko played as many?

Like I say all players have a lifespan at the top when Raul was at schalke he was no longer the player he once was ... Sorry I can't have this debate if you think Dzeko is near or above Rauls level then more fool you sorry but its so absurd my head is struggling to accept anyone would think that.

The world will remember Raul. Man City fans, Wolfsburg fans & Bosnian fans will remember Edin.

In which universe has Raul outscored Dzeko? Compare even the worst Dzeko season to that of Raul's best and Dzeko still scores more per minute. Not to mention dominating with Wolfsburg is not the same as dominating while in Real Madrid (weaker league) surrounded by Galacticos. The most goals Raul has scored in a season was 18. Dzeko almost does that as a 3rd choice striker in a much tougher league.

People will remember both Dzeko and Raul. Raul edges Dzeko in popularity but only because he played in Real Madrid.

Raul had to score a lot a respectful amount wasn't enough that's why even being the idol he was at RM they got rid. Players like he & Edin had to score in Bulk otherwise they was/are dead wood.

This is what makes arguing with people about Dzeko so infuriating. They literally have no idea how fucking good he is. Here are the numbers: Dzeko is 27 and still has 5-6 years in him.

Please explain to me how is my statement not true.

I think you'll find it's your statement that makes no sense
