OK, so here's where I have a problem with the EPL-City crowd.
I'm watching United destroy City and we hear the announcers comment on how City has to bring in a striker to help Aguerro. Here's the problem I have with that:
1. City has been mismanaged all year by Pelligrini. Everyone knows it. No one admits it due to his reputation. City is like Arsenal. They rely on their midfield and when you screw with the midfield, you screw with their success. I've said MULTIPLE times here how dependent City is on Navas, Toure and Silva. Yet how many times have they played together lately? How many times have they played together on the attack, not keeping Toure deep? It's a coaching disaster this year for City. For me, I fire Pellligrini because that dude probably single-handedly kept City from repeating. And that comes from a Chelsea fan.
2. Just what is wrong with Dzeko? Everytime the guy is in the game, he affects the outcome positively. He helps Aguerro. He does EVERYTHING that Aguerro needs to succeed, and he does it at a bargain. It's like the club hears fans complain and therefore can't play him routinely, because he's not Kane or Costa. Who are they going to bring in to help that is going to be heads and shoulders above what Dzeko offers them? Sometimes, soccer people are complete f-ing idiots and this is one of those times. Jesus H, just keep Dzeko, play a 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 and put your money into a real keeper or a true winger that scares the S out of defenses and opens up your forwards. It's not hard. It's not hard because fixing City is easy. They have all the pieces. Even a guy like Nesri, who I think is overrated, is a great midfielder that provides solid depth. Even Nesri, who I complain about all the time, is worth keeping in a scenario where City brings in a high priced winger and really helps the team go after a title.
I'm dead serious about acquiring Parma for 1 million. We can see this soccer mind in the flesh if they'd sell tomorrow.
