Edin Dzeko

[LongsightM13]

He was not playing on the wing. Mancini rotated him a lot. I think after he scored 4 goals vs tottenham he was on the bench next gme

Dropped/rotated v Wigan the week after. Madness

 

[Keeper!]

Top player, incredible career stats and still playing at the top level at 36, Edin is a baller, end of story.

 

[clarion]

The only one who scored 50+ in three top4 leagues.

That can’t be true. There’s a certain geriatric ponce over in Trafford who surely has done the same.

He/she never played in germany

He/she never played in germany

But did in Spain. Making it 3 out of the top 4 leagues?

You’re right. My bad. Not the only one
but the first one.

On 3 March 2018, Džeko scored his 50th league goal for Roma, thus becoming the first player ever to score 50 goals in three of Europe's top five major leagues.

It‘s amazing to me that so few have done it.

I cheered him as much as anyone, but, legend? He had Tevez and Aguero streets ahead of him.

Blimey, I guess every one of the 2012 squad are legends. Decent, but, half the time, he played like he had lead boots on, and his first touch was often a 5 yard pass - to no-one in particular

All about opinions, innit

Still a useful player but we don't really need Dzeko

 

[Dobsy]

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.

Easy to say that now but we had Aguero in that position.

In truth thought the same myself today, but Erling is more physical and quicker,not sure about him being a winger !!.. also at that time we seemed to have many more options up top, hence the rotation...I sincerely hope Erling gives us more than 2-3 years.

Edin was better in the air and Haaland is much faster and more technical with his feet.

Dzeko had some great moments but his first touch wasn't always up to scratch.

The similarities are that they're both tall goalscorers who came from the Bundesliga. Apart from that they're very different beasts.
