dŽeko or neither ;)

They have scored the same number of goals, Ade played a lot more games than Edin.

The Ade ship has sailed.

Dzeko could possibly turn it round but i doubt it, tevez has shown us what we need, we need neither of them.
derby day the scores were level,
then the goat was fed by neville,
silly boy should know for sure,
feed the goat and he will score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Llorente would be ideal for us IMO, also another leader.

Dzeko all day long, I will keep saying it, with the right service he'd be an absolute machine in the Premier League. I still suspect he will be off though, so without him, and Tevez we will need to look for another forward.

Neither

If I had to have 1 it would be Adebayor. Better first touch and has the potential to put some effort in. Better athlete also and a better target man

Adebayor is a proven machine in the pl. he really does have everything, unfortunately, including a suspect attitude, but if he gets his tail up and is given belief in what he can achieve, he really could terrorise the pl. he is not the sort of player though who likes being dropped after scoring a hattrick.....what is it about mancini that cant help himself bringing a player down?

If I had to choose between just those 2 it would be Dzeko. Ade on his day is magnificent and can be close to world class but his day doesnt last long.It seems every club he goes to he shines for a short while then disappears into mediocre.Occasional flashes of quality but more games of average.

Edin would be a plan B for us as he is so different to the way we are trying to play but nevertheless is a goalscorer.I suspect we won't be keeping him which I think is a shame as I am sure wherever he goes he will be a success and will score loads.

I also say neither. Lets sell for as much as we can and get another Aguero type player in instead. I personally don't think we play a system Dzeko can flourish in and Ade although is quality he doesn't get enough in a blue shirt. If Tevez stays then we may not need another but better safe than sorry. Maybe a winger instead?

At least with Dzeko if the confidence was up he'd get on the end of things. Adebayor? would he do that as often? even when confident?

Neither would be my preference, don't believe either are what we need.Both players need the confidence boost that comes with being first choice and lets be honest neither are going to get that here.

Think we need a good impact player someone willing to come of the bench with a real hunger and drive to make a real impact.Would like to think Gudetti might be the one but only time will tell.

Dare i say Sturridge.

Sadly Llorente will never leave Bilbao because Atletic is a particular club and football there is such a religion!

Adebayor's the far better player.

Dzeko. I think he actually plays better when he comes deep a little more often. I think we have failed in puttin him upfront on his tod. I dont think this is really his sort of game. He actually started as a midfielder and you can kind of see that. I think he needs players around him. What was the stat I see earlier- Kun has scored in every game when played with Dzeko!! but Kun has only scored something like 2 in 15 when played with Balotelli !! interesting stat! I think the Kun/Balo stat would be pretty simular to a Kun/ Ade stat... Has to be Dzeko over Ade for me.

for the first 6 months of his contract. I haven't seen him do anything more special than a tap in since the Arse game at home ~1.5 years ago. Since the Togo incident, he's faded. Had a resurgance with Madrid for a month (but who wouldn't score playing with them), then Tottenham for 1/2 a season. But look at all his goals for Spurs, most were simple finishes, nothing special.

Dzeko is the much better player, he just needs to stop moping about like someone stole his lunch money.
