Edin Dzeko

I’ve just read on Kicker app that Edin is out of Sunday's game against Karlsruhe, but the longer term diagnosis will only become clearer after a scan tomorrow.
 
Use to get a lot of stick with his poor first touch and finishing but was a valued player who knew where the goal was unlike a few we have today

His first touch was poor when he wasn't starting regularly. When he got a run of games like late in in 13-14 it was decent enough.
 
I'm convinced that when he was running to our fans in celebration for the sixth goal on that glorious day, he turned around and shouted to Kolsrov, "how many"!

I believe his actual words were

"Fuck the rag twats"
 
Apart from the obvious goal two always stick out in my mind.

Aston Vile at home in the pissing down rain, awful night even by Manchester standards, he got the first that night around the hour mark, nothing special just in the right place at the right time, that took the handbrake off and we cruised home 4 nil in the end - went on to clinch the title the following weekend.

Blackburn away 2011 - again right time right place, just after we had beaten the rags in the semi final - it capped off a great few days and the positivity that night in the stands was superb - think that goal guaranteed Chumps League for the first time?

He is and always will be a City legend in my eyes, loved him to bits at our place and his affection for the club seems to still be there.
Remember David Platt saying Edin scored "heavy goals". That summed it up for me.
 
One sometimes forgotten goal was against Palace minutes after the scousers has "slipped up". I think we all believed the title was on when that went in.
