Dzeko...his quality seems beyond doubt, at least for the bundesliga. I am tempted to say that if a striker can score goals by the bucketload then he can score goal anywhere...but what about Forlan???? British football just wasn't suited to him, or his stint in manchester unfortunately coincided with his worst ever run of form...he was wicked before, terrible there, then quality almost as soon as he left for spain.
Italy is the ONLY league out of the top english/spanish/krout/frog leagues where strikers and creative offensive players invariably encounter problems...Ronaldinho...our own Diego...Zidane for his first 6 months...Italians have an art of destroying what the brazilians and spaniards would call beautiful football...allowing only the purest of fantasisti to excel and blossom. Those with grit to add to their fantasy.
Trez is the ONLY striker we have who is a natural goalscorer AND capable of playing the lone striker role. We have to replace him.
I would be happy enough to get Huntellar, or dzeko, but there are no guarantees...Ideally, we should sign someone for that role, who is already proven in Serie A...like????
Even players like Eto'o who scored literally for fun in Spain, have zero chance of repeating, equaling, or even getting near to the glory of their former exploits in a league which has by far the worst defenders in all the top european leagues. Yes, he will win things at inter, but 40 goals per season? no chance...
So...who does that leave, mate????
Dzeko would be cool, but presently, if we are talking about the NOW...we are in much more dire need of a left back, right back, central defence reinforcements, a new coach, and then another attacking midfielder ( if we are to continue with the 4-2-3-1).
those areas MUST be improved first and foremost.
