Wishlist Edin Dzeko

[Thor 2,430]

I just have the feeling that Dzeko will be a Juventus player next season.

Read the article. They are saying it's his least likely destination. Doesn't seem like he wants to play there.

And yet he is a massive AC Milan fan. Or so I read.

He is apparently. Was stated in his FM profile too.

They let Adebayor go to Spurs. It allows them to free up a high earner off their wage bill so they can sign new players. A loan would also allow one of their own scoring against rivals and not themselves.

And the biggest plus for city is nobody will pay anywhere near the £27m they paid. But a good season out on loan will help them recoup a tidy fee - like adebayor.

I hadn't thought of Dzeko, but should he be available in the summer and Drogba moves on it would be a clever short term fix that would also allow us to loan lukaku out for a season to give him the first team football he needs. If dzeko proved a success at the end of the loan then buy him, if not then it hasn't been a costly mistake.

Read the article...obviously it seems like he doesn't want to play in Serie A...but you never know, stranger things have happened.

If he wants to stay in EPL, we should definitely look at signing him.

If Man City want to sell abroad, Juve (they want a striker) and Dortmund (they possibly need a striker...with Barrios off to China...Kagawa off to United, Lewandowski linked to EPL clubs) would be the most viable options.

The last time I checked he was in love with Phillpp Lahm, so I guess Bayern is on the cards.

We can all sit down here and think of raiding City for their fringe(but quality) players but the fact is, they are not going to sell them to us. IF City wanna let them go, they would prefer to sell them abroad or to one of the lesser clubs in England and not to a side who they know that can challenge them from supremacy in all competitions.

Indeed. I don't see City being as stupid as us to send a club to a rival team, i.e. Yossi to Arsenal.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

We're not interested though I think he would accept sharing the main striker role with Torres and therefore, would be a very good signing.

They loaned Spurs Adebayor.

Prior to that Tottenham weren't considered a genuine threat though. Arsenal have always been challenging the top3, despite not having won f*ck all in 7years they still pose a much larger threat. They're not even direct competition as we are with Arsenal.

[BosnianLion 232]

There is a lot of speculation in the Bosnian papers about Edin's future. I'm repeating myself but even though he was treated like crap by Mancini and the team doesn't suit his style of play, he still netted 13 goals in the league, and 5 assists in only 1480 minutes. Thats 13 goals and 5 assists in 16 games. Fantastic record.

He'd be perfect as a Drogba replacement. Tall, strong, holds up the play well as a pivot up front, can track back and defend, and has some great technique for a big guy. Honestly I wouldn't know what to do with myself if he came to Chelsea, truly a dream.

He's also good friends with Ivanovic

Although, in terms of preference this is my order

1. Cavani

2. Falcao

3. Higuain

4. Dzeko

[OneMoSalah 8,783]

Dzeko was different class at Wolfsburg, has been hot and cold at City but I'd still take him as he is an improvement on Fernando Torres imo.

[Kieran. 6,317]

Dzeko is a great replacement for Drogba.

[francozola 2,040]

I think it was Alex who said this here quite some time back:

Us and City signed the wrong players. We should have signed Dzeko and they should have signed Torres. Would have worked out much better.

[Thor 2,430]

1. Cavani

2. Falcao

3. Higuain

4. Dzeko

Dzeko is so far and away better than Higuain it's not funny.

Falcao and Dzeko are the only players I'd be interested in pursuing up front. They fit the mold of players that succeed here in Chelsea. We tried these counter attacking players that work off runs and through balls, but it hasn't worked.

[capriccioso 2,545]

Dzeko's not been great for a couple of seasons now. And we'd have to pay stupid money to get him.

[Krypt 241]

He looked promising at the start of the season , then a dip in form forced him out the team. Which he never got back in really , i agree with capriccioso that the money we would have to put up would not be worth the reward.
