I've voted for both but if push comes to shove I'd go for Dzeko as he's far more proven and less likely to rock the boat. I'd still take the gamble on Balotelli though in view of the fact that Roberto has already dealt with him and should hopefully be able to bring him on in leaps and bounds

Both....Balotelli doesn't strain our PL quota numbers so why not

Dzeko just looks quality to me, I have a feeling he would tear the PL up

I want both

I haven't seen a great deal of both, but when I've seen Dzeko I've been quite impressed, when I've seen Balotelli he's been gash. Maybe because of all the on and off field problems he's had at Inter? But It's not right for a player playing for Inter to make public his support for Milan and throw his jersey on the floor etc. Mourinho fell out with him and criticised him for lack of effort, would be a big gamble for us to rely on him as one of our main strikers but like I said I ain't seen a huge amount of him. I also recall Mancini saying something along the lines off "Balotelli being the future of Italian football" 6 months or so ago, so he obviously rates him highly.

I hate the fact I have to confess I haven't seen Džeko play! But simply because of his goal ratio in Germany and reports of Balotelli being bit of a c*nt I chose Balotelli.

You didn't put Don't Know/not sure.
I've seen Balotelli play and I'll take him yesterday. But I haven't seen much of Dzeko, so it wont be fair to vote.

I went for Dzeko, hopefully he could continue his amazin goalscoring in the prem.
Balotelli is class but supposed to be a bit of a penis on and off the field, I think he may be too much of a gamble and I can imagine him being a bad influence in the dressing room.

Dzeko.

Proven 1 in 2 striker at both club and international level.

Enough said.

Gotta be both hasn't it? Balotelli is a gamble for the future that doesn't affect our quota. Dzeko more of a nailed on success. Putting all eggs into the Balotelli basket would be a bit loony.

Both from Me as well. Dzeko looks like he would run riot in the Prem. Don't know a lot about Balotelli but he sounds like a fruit loop. Booby seems keen on him though so we'll defo go in for him

I'd actually go for neither but I'd be happy with either or both to join the squad, if that doesn't sound too daft!

I haven't seen much of Balotelli but enough of Dzeko to know that he'd suit our style of play and tear up the Prem. He would give Ade fantastic competition.

I don't actually rate Balotelli as anything more than a top talent who's still raw. Considering the package he comes with. I'd stay well away.

So Dzeko for me.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

I've gone for both. Just because we can and don't have the financial restraints of the others. Can't have enough ammunition in my oppinion and we need to go for it now and put all the other teams under pressure. We have a lot of games to play potentially next season and as others have said, the young un won't count in the 25 man squad.
