So what makes you think City would want him? :D

No idea. Its obviously not going to happen, just expressing what I want. Can't always get what you want though.

Whoever said Dzeko sucks, you obviously haven't watched enough of him. Watch the goals against Tottenham, especially the header, pure class. He just needs playing time and Mancini's rotations and 10 minutes per game are killing him.

At his worst last season for City he was still better than Torres right now.

Dzeko's better than that, Ollie, give the man some credit. I'd say he's the second-best striker in the league behind RVP.

Yeah ? Then again though, there aren't may strikers that are pulling up any tree's at the moment. I would say Suarez is more potent then him though and Aguero, Dzeko is not consistent enough in my opinion.

Dzeko is a goalscorer, he does not necessarly shines in creating goals like others. He does but I think Balotelli is better there. Balotelli is more versatile and more able to integreate City's offensive animation because he can ask the ball outside his front position more as Dzeko. By example, Balotelli has a great long play to aerate the play with diagonal balls, Dzeko does not this.

The main reason why Tevez was dropped (and then why he wanted to leave, the Allianz Arena episode etc...) is that Mancini wanted a striker able to play with other players in front, Tevez has the habit to attack for his team by himself.

Nothing wrong with Dzeko, for me is one of the most complete strikers in the world

And you know why all 3 score loads of goals?

Because City's midfield has player who can make killer passes.

Worst player on the pitch today and that's saying something with Carroll at the other end.

What do you expect with Mancini's idiotic 'rotations'.

He benched the man after his 4 goals against Spurs, enough said.

Also, the 11 games is misleading, he played a total of 45 minutes in 6 of those.

He's scored 10 goals, and assisted 6 in 781 minutes.

I'm not defending him because I'm Bosnian but honestly, the would excel with us, especially when he's not benched when he's in hot form and hits his stride like at City.

Hasn't scored in 11 games...

1) Mancini rotates his strikers, and Dzeko is very much second-choice at the moment.

2) Those '11 games' equate to less than 450 minutes, namely five full matches. Not that much to complain about, in my opinion.

3) Dzeko is a targetman, not an out-and-out forward like Aguero or van Persie. He does a team role and gets no credit, whilst Aguero scores the occasional howitzer amongst his collection of tap-ins, and is a genius.

4) Statistics are largely irrelevant. A striker does not have to score to be effective. I thought you'd appreciate that since we have Didier Drogba in our squad, who eptiomises industry and selflessness as a striker; a trait shared with Edin.

I don't think he's that good. He was crap last season, started this season on fire, disappeared for a while, scored a few goals again and now has not scored in 11.

Yeah he didn't start a lot of those 11 games, but it's because Aguero and Balo are far better options.

He was crap because he came to City during the Winter transfer window.. he had no pre-season behind him and was thrown into the fire. Aguero and Balotelli are different players altogether although I really don't believe Balotelli is a better option. Balotelli is not a team player like Edin but also doesn't depend on the players around him and can create his own chances. Edin is at his best when the team plays their best, together as a unit. Dzeko is a better striker than Balotelli.

Sorry I brought this topic up, still dreaming I guess. I hate City so much, why the hell did they have to buy him.

Not comparing his ability to Ibra, but Dzeko may be out of place in that squad because they don't need a target man, just like Ibra in his time at barca. They play thru the midfield as well as anyone and when that happens, having a giant center forward isn't absolutely necessary just an observation.
