Re: Edin Dzeko (continued)
Dont think he will get a new contract. But its clear we either have to give it to him or sell him. No way we we should run down his contract and let him leave on free next summer. I certainly want more playing time for Jovetic next year. Agüero should play more if not injured so much like this year. These two factors would really make the playing time of Negredo/Dzeko less. Jovetic is someone you either build the team around him or make him part of a very strong attacking trio, or sell him. Coming in off the bench, he is way too good for that. Also the same would hardly make Negredo or Dzeko really happy. We didnt have much of a problem about it as there was unreal amount of injuries for Jovetic and Agüero. But if we can avoid lot of injuries this would be some kind of big rotation problem.
Still sometimes I cant belive how Dzeko cant handle the ball in basic sitatuions, or how he does nothing for long periods, the necessarry runs, movements etc. Of course I rate his goals, he scored many, had many good games. Still, I think we can do better than him, who is working extremely hard in all the games, sometimes I feel he doesnt give hard time to defenders and in the PL as a striker you should do that.
