Let's hear it for Edin Dzeko

Gone thru all 12 pages of this thread, and no one has mentioned the other member of our title winning striker quartet......
Super Mario!!!!!
Now he did love winding up the rags ;o) and could do things with the ball (and a box of fireworks too haha) that edin could only dream of.
Certainly miss his tabloid exploits, perhaps if we still had him in the squad then raheem would get a helluva easier ride with the rag tops too

Strangely nobody mentions Dzeko much on that one either...
 
Although I am not convinced edin would be the answer these days a third striker of his style with the work rate pep demands would be a sensible way forward if it’s achieveable in jan/summer. The amount of crosses we make that aren’t attacked by a forward is scary.
 
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…………..

What, no Barry Conlon?
 
Love how Kolarov, Dzeko and Balotelli still follow City and support us, with only good words about our Club and fans. Always sticking it to the rags as well :)
