Edin Dzeko is a pretty good player who currently does not fit into the way we play. We are trying albeit in a very laboured way to play like Barca.
Edin is our Ibra. Ibrahimovic though he gets a lot of stick in England has until this year (and whos' to say) won the league every year wherever he's played. Juve, Milan , Inter, Barca Sweden.
If we continue to play a slow tempo style with lots of bodies impeding his route to goal he will be wasted here.
There are sides, Spurs spring to mind, where he would be a great success.
Crap he is not.
Sorry rob Ibra is one of the best strikers in the world top 5 easily. He creates goals he has some of the best feet and tricks in the game. Poor comparison there and he is not slow. The reason why he was moved on from Barca is because he plays exactly the same position that Messi occupies now and he had 20 league goals when he was moved on.
Not having a go but Dzeko is not in that class of player. Ibra is world class without question.
