Edin Dzeko

[LangleyBlue1970]

Saw a stat the other day. In the top leagues in Europe he is something like 7th highest scorer, with the crème de la crème above him.

A monster of a forward.

Watching Erling today got me to thinking about Edin. He’ll always be loved by blues and on balance he was a success with us but when we bought him we all thought we were getting a killer finisher top class goal machine,maybe not quite at Erling’s level but not far off, yet things never really panned out like that.

I think that was more our fault than his - I wish we’d played him more often as a buccaneering centre forward rather than on the wing or as a link up man as was regularly the case.

Džeko was never close to Haalands goal scoring rate. Nor his pace or power.

I love Džeko but Haaland is so different.

You’re forgetting we also had Kun at the time. Haaland is the main man, Edin never was.

He was class and for me a legend. (We’re all singing Edin Dzeko), but he was always playing catch up to god.

And Balotelli. And Tevez.

To be fair Haaland is a freak as a footballer, especially physically.

As the years go by Dzeko seems to get better and better. He was incredibly lazy at times, had an awful first touch and was incredibly frustrating. Comparing him to haaland is crazy

Another one the rags could put a bid in for.

Hope not he scored for fun at the swamp.
