January

If you think the above is wrong and can argue a case for Bony then I would love to hear it!
Dzeko will always be a City legend and a player I'll be very thankful I had the opportunity to watch and sing his name home and away!

I won't argue Bony's case because I can't see anything in him to like. However, to call Dzeko a legend is fanciful. He's not even hailed by his own club's supporters and his name has hardly been mentioned since he left. Yes, he made some important contributions but a legend - never.

Not directing this at you but this guy's turned from shit to world beater back to shit again on Bluemoon, largely due to posters following each other like sheep.

He was good enough to appear in a World Cup final recently and - given a run - would prove serviceable for the remainder of this season. More so than some panic buy bought in January who spends at least half a season getting up to speed. He may be a FOC but he's a wily one.

Recently in this case was a long time ago in football terms. I thought it was a mistake to extend his contract and let Denny go on loan. I don't think his performances this season have done anything to change my mind. He's not shit and he's been a good player for us in the past but he has just not got the legs any more for our high line defence.

Hope you're too.

I'm fine mate (if a little pissed) but not pissed enough to think Dzeko had a better first touch or could hold the ball up better than Bony.

Do you honestly believe it is the other way round?

just watched this brought back a lot of memories, I just don't think bony can score as many diverse goals as dzeko or link up with the rest of the team like him.

So, for fact, read "your opinion"

You obviously have a hard on for Edin, but to suggest we wouldn't have won the title without him is nonsense. Yes he scored some vital goals for us at the business end of the title winning season, but we had to be in that position for those goals to count, which "the team" were responsible for.

As for legend, do me a favour. There has been no criteria set for that label, but being a sulky mard arse (on the pitch and ignoring the fans on the last day walkabout last season) IMO doesn't put someone in that category.

Bony hasn't repeated the form he showed at Swansea and despite several personal and injury setbacks, he is starting to show he can find the net again. Time will tell whether he will make a good showing of himself with us, but to state him being a "huge failure is someone an exaggeration (my opinon so not FACT!).

Oh give over. Dzko's clearly a City legend. He'll be talked about fondly in 20 years time.
In 20 year time Bony won't be.

No one is saying Edin didn't score some vital goals for us, but he is not the messiah you are making him out to be.

Couldn't you find the Youtube clips of Dzeko sulking, not giving a shit, not able to trap a bag of cement or totally ignoring the fans on the player final day walk round?

Define Legend, because we clearly have differing views. Not all about goal scoring though is it?

That's a good watch. I always liked the guy, and still think we'd be better with him on the bench rather than Bony.

Me too.he wasn't called a super sub for nothing,he just clicked with the others and should be remembered fondly for his part in our success

I'd define a legend as someone who will be remembered fondly by a club 20 years after he's stopped playing for said club, Whether it's Ben Watson for scoring a winner in a cup final or it's Matt Le Tisser for being a one club man or it's the bloke that scored in the last minute to stop Swansea going down to the 4th tier.
