May I point out we have had our problems with both these types of late and if Mr Respondez S'il Vous Plait gets on the wrong side of Bob, we may have another Ade on our hands. Meanwhile, Edin is the epitome of a team player, is rarely injured, and is actually quite good.
RVP required as he is more clinical than Dzeko and that's what is needed in the CL.
But is he more clinical than Aguero or Tevez or even Balotelli... because that's who he's replacing.
I don't get this "RvP is better than Dzeko" argument. RvP is coming to be a first choice striker and that means possibly Balotelli will end up as our 4th. choice striker.
Bear in mind that at the European Championships Balotelli was posibly the most outstanding forward in the tournament, and RvP bombed.
Be careful what you wish for. I remember the clamour for us to sign Roque Santa Cruz and Robbie Fowler!
