Let's hear it for Edin Dzeko

[DiscoSteve]

You could replace the word Dzeko with any striker in the prem and it would be still be true.

even Andy Carroll?

[Blue Pete]

You all missed out Matias Vuoso and (then) very expensive King Kev signing who never played for us. Wonder how much was in King Kevs brown envelope from the agent

Okay, cards on the table.


My first game was Chelsea 70-71, so I never quite witnessed the halcyon days of Bell, Lee, and Summerbee. However, I was saw most of 76-77, and I’ve had a Season Ticket since 81-82.

Kidd and Royle: never quite get the credit they deserved.

Channon: a decent striker when our main priority should have been a goalscoring midfielder.

Robinson: apart from a spectacular goal v the rags, I’m struggling.

Roger Palmer:underrated

Trevor Francis: right man at the wrong time.

David Cross: a turning point in the wrong direction.

Parlane: late winner at Elland Road almost got me battered.

Melrose scoring from the Fallowfield car park against Notts County.

Davies and Lillis: celebration after the diving header v Watford.

Varadi: bananas, and all that
Adcock: winning goal at Millwall
Biggins: ran around a lot

Moulden’s family owned a chippy, but Machin preferred Morley.

Allen was the better player, but Oldfield scored in the 5-1

Kendall bought Quinn, and then it all seemed to change for the better.

Wait a minute?

Did somebody mention White, and Carl Shutt?

Where’s Mike Sheron when you need him?

Walsh and Rosler arrived, and then Kavashvilla scored against the rags.

Then it all went pear shaped and Bradbury was a tosser.

Paul Dickov? Gareth Taylor? Bob Taylor? Tim Brooke Taylor ?

Goater became a hero, and for one brief moment, we assumed that Vuoso was the final piece in the jigsaw

Macken arrived, and then scored the winner at Tottenham.

Fowler? lacked hunger

Anelka? lacked motivation

Wanchope? lacked fitness

Sibierski? lacked hair

Cole and Vassell: yesterday's heroes competing for tomorrow’s trophies.

Samaras: weak

Corradi: wooden

Bianchi: forgotten

Sturridge: injured

Evans: imprisoned

Jo: hopeless

Benjani: clumsy

Adebayor: offside

Caicedo: even more clumsy

Bellamy: aggressive

Tevez: popular



Dzeko: then it all changed.

5-1 v Tottenham ,6-1 v United (2011-12

Crucial goals at Palace, Everton, and at home to Villa (2014)

Always seemed to score against the rags

Oh, and the other goal v QPR

Will never be as popular as Aguero, but…………..




:

Brilliant and spot on!

Gerry Creaney
Gareth Taylor
Bob Taylor

Gerry Creaney was the worst striker I have ever seen in a City shirt, and yes I did see Barney Daniels play for us too. I could never figure out why on earth we signed that overweight lazy clown.
Even Bob Taylor (as poor as he was) scored the odd important goal for us but Creaney never brought anything to the party IMO. Or perhaps thats because he was at too many parties on the eve of matchdays. A complete waste of space.
Closely followed by Craig Russell - I recall David Makin saying on local radio that he paid £1m out of his own pocket for an unnamed striker (obviously Russell), and might as well have thrown the money down a grid.

Was thinking last night after we missed another 8 or 9 chances....
I think Edin would thrive in this team. Maybe even more than Kun. Well maybe not actually but i just think with this side and our style it would really suit him.
We have players like KDB, Gundogan, Bernardo and Mahrez who put some amazing crosses in. We don't utilise this though as we don't have any tall strikers.
Edin is a great finisher and with all the chances we create he would score so many goals.
Chelsea tried to sign him last year and he knew if he signed for them he would only be a bit part player.
Why don't we bring him back for a couple of years?
Thoughts?

I actually watched him at Altrincham play for reserves against united reserves - bang average
