Edin Džeko - Striker - Manchester City - Part 2 (20 Viewers)

[ZoSo]

1. RVP 2. Cavani 3. Higuain

4 & 5 Suarez & Dzeko. They can't really be compared imo. I don't really think Suarez would suit this team that well though (in terms of style of play).

Dzeko is lazy

 

[Bianconero81]

For me personally it's

1) Suarez or Higuain
3) Cavani
4) RVP
5) Dzeko

I based this on potential to serve us for many years, wages, and likelihood of injury, in addition to adaptation to the system, and goalscoring ability.

I rest my case. You are blinded by your love for Dzeko. He looks very cumbersome and is not as dynamic as the other players I mentioned. He's also not the most creative forward around, or one that possesses a particularly impressive technical skill set.

Suarez is not prolific in front of goal, but he has better vision, ball control, pace, and is pretty much far more complete than Dzeko.

The same applies to Higuain, who is more prolific than Dzeko.

RVP, let's not even go there.

As for Cavani, you do have a valid point, but the man was a beast in both Serie A, and the CL this season. He is clinical in front of goal, deceptively quick, and dynamic as fuck. He is also a tireless worker and runs/fights hard for every ball.

Trezeguet wasn't the most creative forward either but look what he accomplished.

Dzeko does his job as good as them. What is a strikers job? To put the ball in the back of the net and he does it pretty fucking good job of it.

I was basing it on current ability.

But if you base it on potential as a signing then
1. Cavani
2. Higuain
3. RVP
4. Dzeko (because he is more of a goalscorer)
5. Suarez

How can you base Dzeko's likelyhood of an injury?

 

[KB824]

There are a lot of people, well maybe just one, (Looking at you, B81), who say that Dzeko as the major signing would be a great disappointment.


My question is, if he is part of a larger group of true quality players that come along, would anyone really complain all that much?


Just because Juve is (allegedly) going to be flush with cash, doesn't necessarily mean that they have to, or should, spend it all at one time.


This is the first, and probably only time that I am going to give a transfer wish list, and I am going to do it based on what I feel might be reasonable expectations.

Look Hust, Trezeguet had Nedved and Del Piero, and before that Zidane and a Del Piero in his prime providing him with assists galore. He didn't have to carry the team. Moreover, he was a far more prolific goalscorer than Dzeko.

Dzeko can't be the fulcrum/focal point of the team. If we get a JoJo or Suarez to supply his lazy slow ass with assists, then so be it. If not, he's going to struggle to score, as he can't create his own shot, or operate as a dynamic/functional striker outside the box. He's quite static and lacking in creativity. I prefer the Suarez/Benzema type of player.

However, if he comes here as a secondary signing, as a complement to a true "Top Player" then I'd welcome him with open arms.

The likelihood of injury (add age there as well) was in reference to why RVP ranks low on my list.

I'm ok with that, but would argue that there is no Top Player there. A lot of promise, and potential, but no Top Player. Hence, why I'd be disappointed. The board promised that elusive Top Player, and if we don't manage to acquire one, I'd be gutted based on the promises made by the board. However, I reiterate that the Mercato posted above is a satisfying one. Very solid with lots of promise and potential.

You forgot Verrati

That's pretty good though I'm sure we could do better with FWDs.

[Bianconero81]

I don't like the 3-5-2 formation. Licht and Giach don't really impress as wingbacks in a 3-5-2.

Where is Bonucci?

 

[KB824]

B81, I didn't forget Verrati, I just doubt that he will be coming to Juve this season, if at all at this point.

 

[ZoSo]

I think depending on our success next season, we should have a pretty good chance at signing Verratti in 13-14.

 

[Hust]

Dzeko: 45 games, 16 goals
Suarez: 44 games, 15 goals.

How can you claim Suarez is so much better than Dzeko?

Unfortunately for you Conte does

True, I guess Caceres and PDC are probably better.

I'm not saying either of you are right/wrong but someone should check minutes and starts for a more accurate comparison

Is that just last season? Remember that Dzeko came off the bench late in a lot of those games. He didn't really get to start many games.

 

[Klin]

We'd be very lucky if we'll manage to get Dzeko this Summer.

All of their appearances with Pool & City.

 

[Bianconero81]

Stats. The eptiome of BS.

I never claimed that Suarez is the better goalscorer. Do you even read any of the shit I write? Geez man.

I said Dzeko is more prolific (yes, he's a better goalscorer than Suarez), but Suarez is better at everything else. He is more dynamic, has more pace, is far more creative, and hence is the more complete footballer.

 

[am0110]

Suarez is better player because he can create chances for himself, while Džeko rarely does that, he is lamppost, he is my country man but he is laaaazyyyy.
