As Stevan Jovetic’s arrived at Manchester City alongside Alvaro Negredo, I think my heart may have sunk the same time Edin Dzeko’s did. What now for the big Bosnian?
I felt bad, mainly because Jovetic was an Arsenal target recently and had all these plans in my head that he will be the next Dennis Bergkamp. I was going to buy the new Arsenal kit with the Montenegro striker’s name on the back and then it fizzled right out. Then it seems like twenty-four hours ago it was reported that City were interested and I saw a picture of him holding up a sky blue shirt with his squad number already on the back, talk about quick business. Then about twenty minutes ago I saw Negredo announced with a picture of him with a City shirt and even though the chief exec of Sevilla said there was only a “one percent” chance of him joining City a few weeks ago, Manchester City were ruthless in their approach and it paid off, they got their man.
Now with a fully refurbished front line, it seems Edin Dzeko will be bottom of the pecking order. He’s not better than the others but has scored some crucial goals for City when called upon and unfortunately for him, has a “super sub” tag that he probably should get rid of sooner rather than later. He’s not good enough to start games because of the talent around him, but he’s too good to be allowed to leave because he can do a job. I can’t see him staying at Manchester City forever at this rate and he seems like he’d become a bit of a journeymen when he does leave Eastlands. I bet Arsenal will be linked with him once again in the coming weeks and will probably leave this summer. Surely?
