Roberto Mancini believes he has the best attack in Europe
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini claimed he now has one of the best striking forces in the whole of Europe with the signing of Edin Dzeko. The Bosnian international joined Manchester City from Wolfsburg last weekend for a reported £27 million. He
joins a star studded front line at City, including Carlos Tevez, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Adam-Johnson-c3537 and David Silva.
His arrival at City could very well lead Mancini’s side to the Premier League crown if he continues scoring goals, with the club currently sitting at third position on the Premier League table. The strength, pace and experience Dzeko on paper undoubtedly
makes him the best striker in the Premier League, however he is yet to feature in his first match for City.
Mancini said while speaking to reporters, “With the other strikers, we can now have one of the best attacks in Europe. We want to build a better team and we have bought a good forward. Edin is a young player. He has a good mentality. I followed him for two
years and now he is one of the best strikers in Europe.”
Having signed Dzeko, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roque-Santa-Cruz-c31778 during the January transfer window or if he will wait for the summer transfer window. It was expected the two would leave as soon as the Bosnian youngster
arrived, but so far a deal for either has not been agreed upon as yet.
Santa Cruz, the out of favor striker, openly admitted to being unhappy and wanting a move out because of lack of first team opportunity. Adebayor feels the same way and is also looking for move away from the Eastlands. The only difference is Cruz has Mancini’s
blessings while Adebayor does not seem to be on the best terms with the Italian manager.
It is confirmed Santa Cruz will be leaving Manchester City, though it is not confirmed where his next destination is. Adebayor’s future on the other hand is somewhat uncertain, with a decision expected by the end of this week. It has been revealed that full
back http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Bridge-c36733 has also decided to part ways with the club, moving to West Ham on a loan deal in hopes of first team football.
Mancini revealed he did not want Dzeko to be the single target man for the club, which would put him under too much pressure especially against the big clubs. However, Dzeko has proved himself against the big sides when he took on Premier League giants Manchester
United and scored twice in two meetings, an impressive feat for a young player like him.
The City manager revealed how he had quality players to choose from and would consider different options. He said, “It will allow me to play a different system but he can play in quite a few. He has many qualities and a good attitude. He is a strong player,
who has experience, even though he is only young. This is important because it means he can play at a big team with all the other players.”
Dzeko could make his debut for Manchester City this weekend in the English Premier League clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Eastlands. However, City have a replay in the FA Cup against Leichester and an away game at Birmingham which makes Dzeko making
his first appearance against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wolves-c40952 uncertain, also since he has been out of action for a month now.
