Targetman that can score with either foot, hold the ball, pass, helpa defend set pieces and has leadership qualities? Yes, so many of his kind out there and so many on our team
Thing is, a lot of that can be said about the likes of Higuain or Mandzukic too. Imo this comes down to what player type suits us going forward with Pirlo and what kind of investment you want to make.
1: We suffered a lot this year because we lack creative minds in the midfield but also because Dybala and CR needs to do almost everything themselves offensively. They need someone to make runs, assist, create space and also someone that pressures the backline. A modern striker comes to mind.
Dzeko is the exact opposite of this and requires even more service. This would make our attack even more stale.
2: If you want to invest in the player types of Dzeko you are pretty much choosing a short term solution. Given the age its a very unpredictable choice because you never know HOW fast they actually start to decline. He will be relevant for what 1, 2 years? After that we will be in the same situation as we are now all over again.. You are basically choosing to delay the inevitable problem.
We have to break this cycle at some point.
If its a short term buy and you need someone to nick a goal against Serie A peasants, than sure, go get Dzeko. Imo we should look for something much more sustainable
