because his best position is playing through the middle off a striker, thats why!!!!
Educate me Cloughie
What you fail to compute is that he's easily managed by top level defenders for the above, the whole reason he has success off the striker is because he executes the conventional number 10 role perfectly numb nuts, which is playing right across the forward line and also dropping deep, his natural position, just like tranny and where he'll end up at a top level club......
now go clean my boots!!!

Why would we possibly sell Dzeko,he is the only natural finisher in the team!FantasyIreland said:Thenumber1blue said:Forget Bale ,he is quality but £40 + million and £100-£150k a week probably, doesn't add up anymore.
Could he not replace Marios contract?
Dzeko will also be off the books,as will Lescott and probably Barry in all probability - 350k/week?
RSC,Kolo and Bridge also saving us approx 300k/week.......
Spurs were supposedly interested in Dzeko last summer and the Damiao move seems off for good so they will be after a striker. That said, would you sacrifice Dzeko (plus money) knowing he'd score 20+ a season in Spurs' system, to to get Bale? I probably would because we can get a goal scorer to replace Dzeko but it'd be hard to get a player like Bale who could make such an impact, unless Gotze or Di Maria were available.
Any interest in Bale could depend on if we really do change our system next season. If this 4-3-3 is a 'go' then we'd need a good left-sided player, Aguero would go on the right and I guess Silva would be one of the midfield '3' but ahead of Yaya and Barry/Garcia/whoever.

Ronaldo plays just off a striker, yes. Just off the striker, on the left. Bale can do the same, playing just off the striker on the left. Through the middle as you suggested? No, he can't, it's not his best position anyway, nor is it Ronaldo's.Zin 'messiah' Zimmer said:Joehannes said:You do know there is a difference between coming inside now and again to where there is a lot of space and playing in the hole for the whole game, linking up play in tight spaces don't you?

I personally wouldn't let Dzeko go to any team in the premier league. Especially a team like Tottenham who are challenging for the top 4 but need a goal scorer. Dzeko would be perfect for there team/system as well. But I see where you're coming from, getting Bale would be good for us but I think getting Dzeko would be better for Spurs (especially as they'd probably get money off us as well to replace Bale).

Real Madrid bound, ideal replacement for Ronaldo. They can sell Ronaldo, buy Bale and have younger player not much behind Ronaldo's quality with less wages to be paid and some millions left from transfer difference.
He is not marketable as Ronaldo is though and that's only reason I could see that would be con for Madrid to do it this summer if possible.
I don't think we'd ever be ready to pay the sum Spurs would want for him if we'd ask.

He is EXACTLY the player we miss at the moment.
Imagine the room we'd get with Bale playing along side Aguero and Silva?
Add that to the amount of balls we'd get into the box and across goal, Aguero's dream.
We need pace, width and someone who can run at players and more importantly someone who can chip in with goals.
