To me, defines the term "worth a punt"

Yeah he was definitely worth it. I mean those 10 minutes he's played for us have been quite simply brilliant. Well worth giving him 20k a week for it.

Dzeko was also involved in the Bayern incident I know his form had tailed off somewhat by then, but how much has that affected him, even I'd it's just his relationship with Mancini?

What Edin needs to do is watch the best of ruud van nistelrooy and mario gomez players who only touch the ball when its a finish required. I am sick of him dropping deep and then not having the pace to get in the box when the ball has been pushed out wide. He needs to stand on the centre back's toes for the whole game. I don't know whether this is Mancinis fault or the player's, because I'd never heard of him before he came here and don't know how he played for Wolfsburg. For what its worth I have seen enough of his goals are good finishes so if he did become the player I am suggesting I think he could be a good goalscorer.

All that said I'm very unsure of his mentality and he has never seemed like the player you want to have when the chips are truly down. Will shed no tears if he leaves/sold. Has not been good enough (admittedly it may not be his fault, but if mancini wanted him he sure as hell hasn't had a clue how to use him).

As for the other guy he is the best natural finisher I have ever seen in a city shirt, but when he's bad he's not just awful he's a bigger liability on the pitch than Dunney was for own goals. I don't think he's ever going to become the world beater we all think he could be because he is very quick to point out that mancini is the only one who understands him yet constantly betrays his trust and faith. Again, no tears will fall if this guy gets the move to AC Milan he clearly wants. But good luck getting as many games as he has here because no other manager in the world will have the patience that Bobby Manc has (wrongly) displayed.

If the two of them go, and I think we're all fairly certain Carlos is gone too then RVP is a must. Would fit our system well, still relatively fresh from playing with nasri and clichy so don't think he would take too long to settle. The only 'but' are his injuries. I think he's been lucky this year to have got a clean run and can see it being typical of us paying £35m for him and him doing his ligaments in pre-season!

Fuck cavanni. Get rid of balotteli and bring back Adebayor to replace him. Dzeko can stay, Mancini benched him after he scored four goals against spuds, that caused him to lose form IMO.

Pizarro can stay as a cover for yaya, Nasri needs to step up to the plate, Silva was over played, he needed a rest, Kolarov can go, Clichy is ok, Kompany And Lescott are both ok. Ship kolo to russia, Savic should close the door behind him, Adam Johnson ? , Milner dropped in form but ok, Tevez should be sold at all cost, Micah ok, zabaleta ok, Gareth Barry and de Jong ok, ageuro ok, Mancini ( replaced only by Mourinho or that bloke from Barcelona ) other than that he stays.

very good point. Thats why people seem him as being lazy at times, he just loses the motivation to run when no one can;t cross the ball for shit


How many wingers has drogba played with, i mean players who are actually wingers?

He does alright on the end of crosses, but its not from wingers per se, its from Forwards who play wide ar chelsea, and we have aguero and tevez who can play that role, with dzeko and ade who could play the point man


look at v.persie's goals. 90% of them were balls with good services, which we don't seem to have. silva is been shit lately as well
