Seriously?
How do you know that Dzeko didn't put scarves down as well? All the TV cameras showed was him dancing round with a big Bosnian flag?
Generally, I think what it is on the pitch:
Dickov scored 1 goal in 5 games.
Tevez scored over 50 goals in under 2 seasons.
I liked Dickov in his first time around, but he should be more remembered for that goal more than his City career. Tevez, on the other hand, should be remembered for being the catalyst for the majority of positive things on the pitch in the best seasons City have had for over a quarter of the clubs existence.
I prefer Joey Barton to Trevor Sinclair as well. Shall we get into that?
To me that's like saying you prefer Pol Pot to Hitler. Both a complete waste of money and emotional energy (Barton and Sinclair not Pol Pot and Hitler!). I've been chastised on here for daring to criticise Sinclair 'because he's a blue'. So I disagree with you, but only in the sense that Barton is marginally worse than Sinclair.
As for Dickov we wouldn't be enjoying the largesse that we currently do without him. I believe that goal saved Manchester City as we know it. On that basis I believe he's earned my considered view that he's a legend.
Haven't heard this one... Go on...liamctid said:if some things are to be believed Robinhos goal against Blackburn to make it 2-2 were all vital to things being the way they are now...

One of my favourite ever City players, good luck SWP.

I'm just gonna argue with you now because I'm putting stuff off at work...
True, without Dickovs goal in the play off final we wouldn't be where we are now. But there's been quite a few goals that stick out in my memory as being important over the years: Wanchope scoring against Newcastle at home at the end of the 03/04 season, the impact Mpenza had at the end of the 06/07, and if some things are to be believed Robinhos goal against Blackburn to make it 2-2 were all vital to things being the way they are now... Can of worms.
But I think in general we both agree that SWP has been a good player for City, but like Dunne, will be remembered as a long servant as opposed to a legend.
