Wishlist Edin Dzeko

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Well Falcao is in beast mode right now. Honestly he's the only one I rate above Dzeko at the moment. Edin just needs a run of 3-4 games to completely dismantle this league. I'm talking 25 goals plus. a season in the league alone

Falcao is in beast mode for last 3 years now. Scores 30+ goals a season. Yes Edin has potential to be better than RVP, but now he is just not playing. And why is he not playing if as you said can score every match? City paid 30 mio and for some reason they dont play him. Instead they played with Baloteli who is shit overall.

Ask Mancini why he's not playing. Look at his record, he scores when he's given a proper chance. 13 goals and 5 assists in 16 games (minute wise).

I have a theory Dzeko was a victim of the transfer market. City used him to attract better players to the club.

Raphael Honigstein mentioned there Dzeko likes it more when he plays with another striker. We don't exactly play with 2 strikers, do we? But can it work IF we play 4-2-3-1 with Mata just behind him??

Why not? He played as a lone striker for a time in Wolfsburg and it worked great. Not to mention he plays as a lone striker for the NT quite often and he scores.

Just gotta feed him.

Didnt he played together with Grafite in WB?

But if we played Torres-Dzeko, wouldnt that be good too?

As you said Dzeko is playing good with another ST, while Torres needs constantly with someone to pass him, also he is good passer and unselfish. They could play together. But then we would play 4:4:2 or 4:3:1:2

Like this

Cech

Iva-Terry-Luiz-Cole

Ramires-Mikel-Marin

Mata

Torres-Dzeko

Torres and Dzeko are both unselfish players that like to assist so I can see it working out, definitely.

Real Madrid should be cosidered. José always has a target man and right now he doesn't.

Yep, thats the speculation at the moment. Apparently Mou has been wanting him for a while now. The spin with PSG is that Ancelotti was a fan of his when he was here with us.

If Dzeko goes theres a lot of potential suitors (PSG, Real, Juve, Bayern, Dortmund, Milan).

I think Dzeko having a bad season is overblown. He hasn't been in favor despite being better than Balo, and yet he still slots goals and sets up in the limited time he gets. Not to mention when he's not scoring he's still been apart of beautiful link up play and his technique on the ball has improved greatly to the point it's an extreme strength. The moves with his back to his defender to get past them are very Drogba like.

I think we'll be missing out on a great player if we don't inquire about him at the least.

He never wanted to join City,his preferred destination was Juventus but there were some visa problems or something which prevented the deal.

I'm pretty sure his preferred destination was AC Milan.

I never believe anything on the internt unless it is a video. Just because it has quotes does not mean he said anything similar to that or if he said anything at all. Anybody can throw " " in an article.

Noww e are getting quotes that he doesn't want to got to Italy.

[BosnianLion 232]

That seems fabricated. Edin gave an interview in the Bosnian papers in which he said that he thought the EPL was the best league in the world and that he wanted to prove himself there.

AC Milan is his childhood favorite.

Take a look at this page, which shows average number of minutes per goal of all EPL teams:

http://www.imscouting.com/reports-generator3/?id=40&l=5304&p1=0&p2=500&p3=0&p4=10#rep

If you consider only those with 10 or more goals, Edin would be the fourth most efficient striker in the league, ahead of RVP.

And this is all with the sporadic minutes he is getting, imagine what would happen if he were given consistent playing time.
