"JAYKO" is not even close to how Edin's name is pronounced... Your own silly nickname for him obviously.
If we had retained Edin Džeko (pronunciation: [ˈedin ˈd͡ʒeko], in addition to Aguero, Bony, Iheanacho, we would still have Edin's height that is occasionally needed against taller defenders. City would have had 4 completely different types of strikers to try different tactics & formations with... and we mistakenly sold Džeko, a prolific striker, for an unacceptable low price!
Thankfully, City have also added new goalscorers, that should be able to replace the loss of Džeko's goals.
Džeko and Pjanic make a great combo & Edin will finally get the playing time that he needs.
Moving to Roma may ultimately be better for Edin's career, but City could have used some Džeko goals, during the Manchester derby... There were 8 players new to that derby & it showed in the lack of grudge attacks & goals needed.
I'm greedy & I always want to retain every player that can reliably score multiple goals for City... but Edin Džeko was not a Txiki Begiristain signing & always would have been on trial, if he had stayed.
So, I wish Edin a very successful career, wherever he plays... I will continue to miss his special goals and especially the funny videos he & Kolarov provided... For me, Edin Džeko will always remain a cherished City legend...
