According to wiki, Gomez has 113 goals in 176 games for Bayern, even better, no?

Hardly underused, definitely not underrated. Man city have 2 better strikers than him, so it's no surprise he struggles to get minutes.

Dzeko, Lukaku, Ba? CL winning attack? erm i'm not even sure it can win PL lol. We don't need a 50m striker really, but someone that can score 25+ goals in a season is needed to lead our line, with Lukaku/Ba providing good enough back up.

Dzeko can easily score 25+ goals a season, he scores bags at City even if he doesn't start most of the time.

I like the idea simply because it gives Lukaku more of a chance to develop nicely and be our number 1 striker.

That's exactly it. Our midfield is already quick and creative enough. We need a finisher - and that's what Dzeko does. Also, his passing is very very good for a striker. Take a look at some of his assists and passes for Man City. I think he'd link perfectly with our fluid midfield.

Good article that further discusses some of his stats: http://www.bigsoccerbosnia.com/18/post/2013/06/edin-dzeko-the-truth.html

As Pacquiao already mentioned...

Edin Dzeko has been backed into 8/11 with Sky Bet to be Jose Mourinho's first signing after his return to Chelsea.

Mourinho signed a four-year deal at Stamford Bridge on Monday, taking the reins of the club he steered to successive Premier League titles before his sacking in 2007.

Manchester City striker Dzeko has long been linked with an exit from the Etihad Stadium, with the Bosnian's desire for regular first-team football seeing him linked with some of Europe's biggest clubs.

A sustained run of bets on Tuesday morning has seen Dzeko backed from 20/1 into 8/11 to join Chelsea by the end of the summer transfer window.

Sky Bet's Richard Evison says: "All the money today seems to signal Edin Dzeko is set to a surprise switch to Stamford Bridge. The money has come following the appointment of Jose Mourinho, who maybe in the market for a big target man.

"We were 20/1 earlier this morning, but cutting the price has not put people off and we have been forced to cut the price to 8/11. City are currently 2/1 for the Premier League with Chelsea 9/4, will they be willing to sell to their potential title rivals?"

That could easily mean nothing though. Sky came up with a hosts of special bets after Mourinho returned yesterday and this could be just one of them.
