Wishlist Edin Dzeko

[OneMoSalah 8,884]

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.

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 2,690]

Although, in terms of preference this is my order

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.

Just because city paid £27m for him doesnt mean he'll go for similar money. I can't see anyone stumping up more than £15m at the mo and considering the prices quoted for other strikers i think that is a good price.

City will now start to find the same problems we encountered, being paying over the odds and having to accept losses on player sales when and if they want to move players on. Teams used to capitalise on us, so why not explore such a possibility at city's expense.

Its not because of how much city paid for him, its because they wont really want to sell him to another PL team.

That would also depend on who wants him and where he's prepared to move.

Yeah I said that... I think all the way back in March 2011! Honestly think both players would really suit the opposite club!

I guess Dzeko would suite the way we play more than Torres , but now it looks like were going to build a team around Torres.

I would take Torres any day of the week over Dzeko.

[BosnianLion 232]

I think this guy sums it up best:

Also to those saying he's been hot and cold, thats because rotation doesn't suit him. He's a confidence player who NEEDS TO PLAY. Despite everything, he still has an amazing record for the time he was given in the Prem.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

If we buy striker please god, be the one who is in form. Dzeko is risk as Torres was and I dont want another striker, milions spend on and score once a month. I would take Falcao anyday, despite he would cost us much more. We need someone who IS NOW at best form, not someone who has potential to be great. We have enough potential powerful strikers in Danny and Torres, we need someone realy good in attack, like Falcao, Cavani, Doumbia, maybe Cisse or Giroud. But Falcao kills them all.

[BosnianLion 232]

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
