Edin Dzeko

[quickpassnmove 924]

I like this signing. As many have said, the big CF seems like a rare breed these days, so who cares if he's 29 y.o.? 

This is the kind of striker I like and the kind of striker Conte wants. Not the greatest, but he will do.

Just wondering why Chelsea didn't go for him before (instead of Bats). Emenalo ideas? We would already have two good strikers and working on the next great AM or RW player transfer if someone had gotten this right before.

Anyway, things aren't fabulous at our club, but one LB, one CM, and one striker can greatly improve our chances --just forget about the CL for now.

What do u think hazard is gonna ask for now after he sees what sanchez is earning at united

 

Sanchez could have atleast saved our season with a good run in cl or a close 2nd finish

 

At our current form we are gonna barely hold on to 3rd/4th place if we are lucky

Jesus where are you looking bud?

1: What Manure pay in wages has no relevance here.

2: You don't know that, he could have come here and be a complete wanker.

3: And whats to be saved? Spuds only drew Saturday, the bin dippers got beat last night by Swansea

4: he wouldn't be able to play in any cup games, so to rely on him to save our season in the league and for £400.000 a week is bollocks

We only have two games left in that competition anyway. 

FUCK BARCA!!!!

We can beat anyone on our day. Its just another game and if the lads start thinking like alot of our supporters then theres no point in them even going out on the pitch. Bollox to that.

We got a dead even record with them. W5 D5 L5

People need to remember there's a honeymoon period. Almost every player has a honeymoon period where they play brilliantly or score in their debut for a short time. Then they dip. Only world class players and top quality players can be immune to this.

Let's not pretend as if world class players don't go through some kind of lean spells. They are all human, not robot. Not to say Morata hasn't been guilty of some nonsense so far in his time here but at the same time, there are also factors as to why his form has dipped after a bright start. But if you're so insistent on branding Morata as useless or another Torres, then be my guest.

ah, guess he was 29 when he left City for Roma.

I like this signing a lot. I think this has an effect on Morata in 2 ways : 

 

1) He isn't able to play too many games on a trot. A few injuries here and there. Dzeko is an able to striker to lead our line with Morata in the squad even, so we won't totally be dependant on Morata like we were in that Manchester City game earlier in the season, where Morata went off injured and our whole attack became non-existent. 

 

2) Dzeko is coming in to challenge Morata, which should keep him on his toes. On the other hand, this signing doesn't throw Morata totally under the bus since he is still the future for Chelsea. Even if Dzeko wins a place over Morata here, it wouldn't matter as much because of Dzeko's age. I can't think of him being our preferred striker for more than a season even in this scenario.

If Conte can get us through against Barca with this squad then he should be given every chance to stay on next season although regardless he should be given chance. Barca were widely expected to be ordinary this season but they are anything but, really solid defensively and lethal in front of goal. It would be an incredible result to go through I think considering the likes of Messi, Suarez, Iniesta all have come to the fore for them recently in last few weeks as well as the additions of Coutinho and Dembele being back to fitness. I think if we get this double deal over the line, beat Arsenal convincingly then the feel good factor will return. Barkley, Dzeko, Emerson.. not amazing signings but boost the squad and can bring a bit more in certain games, particularly Dzeko and Barkley. Very unsure of Emerson although if he was a player Conte identified then I imagine he'll be a good signing.
