Edin will always be a huge part of our club and I love the guy.
But check out the touch son. That's how he fits better into our team.
Oh and him holding up the ball extrememly well, keeping posession, linking upwith Yaya, and winning headers all over the place like last game
Bigblue & Zuricity:
As I've stated before, Wilfried Bony was brought in by the management, to replace Alvaro Negredo and NOT Edin Dzeko! By Nov-Dec, 2014, City had a number of strikers & midfielders all unavailable, due to injuries, which left them with insufficient coverage. So, in January, 2015, they brought in Bony to replace Negredo, after deciding they DID NEED 4 strikers, after all.
With Aguero, Bony & Iheanacho remaining, that still leaves City with only 3 strikers and 2 of them have yet to start scoring regularly for City! Yes, Raheem Sterling could fill in as a 4th striker, but he's been used more as a left winger, so far.
Obviously, management are expecting a lot more goals from all the attacking midfielders combined. If City plans to use the midfielders as false strikers, then they need to take a lot more shots on goal, rather than endlessly passing the ball to someone else!
I don't want to see City in the exact same position as last year, with insufficient backups, to cover for player injuries & absences. I still believe it would have been safer to keep Dzeko, at least until January.

Do you accept that the plan may be to play one up front as opposed to 2 last season? If so do you still think we need 4 strikers.
There's no point in keeping a player that's taking up a foreign spot if he has lost the desire to fight.
