So, Dzeko wants to stay?

Say it ain't so, Edin.

I'd be sad at the thought of him being brilliant for someone else when he still could be great for us. Reminds me of City players we've lost in the past.
 
Sky Sports kill me !

They are reporting that 'Sky sources' are saying bayern want to sign Edin and then have an interview in the last few hours with him where he catorgorically states that he wants to stay.

Incidentally they show a goal from his Wolfsberg days where the winger whips in a cross and because they have attacked with pace and Edin is unmarked. Quality
 
The Castrol Edge Ranking of every player in Europe's top five leagues – “based purely on objective data on the positive or negative impact on his team’s performance of every touch in every match by a player” - ranks Dzeko as 8, Aguero as 27 and Balotelli as 236. (Van Persie is the only premier league player above Dzeko.)

For the Premier League this season:

The Minutes per Goal were 107 for Dzeko; 112 for Aguero; and 102 for Balotelli (111 for van Persie; 104 for Rooney).

Excluding penalties, the Minutes per Goal were 107 for Dzeko; 133 for Balotelli; and 129 for Aguero.

Up to the end of April, Dzeko had converted 50% of Clear-Cut Chances (as defined by Opta Stats), whereas Aguero had converted 48% and Balotelli 40% (van Persie, 45%; Rooney 59%).

The Minutes per Assist were 301 for Dzeko; 257 for Aguero; and 1329 for Balotelli (237 for van Persie; 404 for Rooney).

As reported on Bluemoon, Aguero’s strike rate is much higher when partnered with Dzeko than with Balotelli (i.e., lots of goals versus just 1 goal, albeit a crucial one!).

Dzeko (9 goals) was 3rd in the top-scoring players AWAY from home. He was behind only van Persie (13) and Rooney (10); and, presumably, he was well ahead of both in terms of minutes per away goal?

He scored 4 goals of the total of 17 goals conceded by Spurs at White Hart Lane in the PL last season (probably a record % for any player vs any club in the history of the premier league?).

A quick check suggests that Dzeko’s scoring record against the other 3 teams in the top 4 is at least as good as Aguero, Balotelli, van Persie and Rooney – and probably much better than most in terms of minutes played.

And by common consent we did not even play to Dzeko's strengths....

P.S. Before anyone suggests I am only interested in Dzeko, if forced to choose, Aguero would be my favourite striker. I actually believe that - if managed correctly - Aguero and Dzeko could be one of the most formidable strike partnerships I have seen in 60 years for any team.
 
Bayern £20m for Dzeko.....hahaha, fuck right off. He's definitely worth more than that. It's not like he's an unproven talent in the Bundesliga!
 
We should do what they do - just ignore it, as they did with Ribery (and threaten clubs with illegal approaches). They need to understand we are no ones woman as the Premier league clubs have done. Sorry Bayern - your not even top dog in your own league - if you want him (and he wants to go) the price is 30m to start with.
 
It's being reported over here that Bayern & Dzeko are already 'in agreement' and it's just down to agreeing a fee with City. The fee mentioned is 'approx' 20 mil EURO (about 16 - 17 mil GBP).

That's how Bayern do there work! Do deal with player then announce it to pressure the club
 
On his website from today he said that he stays City's player and that if he ever moves it will be him breaking the news not some sport website or journalist...
