Essandoh 21,232 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Genuinely. How would you rate him against other strikers of his time? For me, he’s up there and was just everything you want in a striker. He was a big game player, tall, strong, great in the air, relatively quick off the mark, incredible movement, superb finisher, powerful long shots, great with his feet, aggressive as fuck, bullied defenders sometimes to an embarrassing extent.

The reason I say him is because for a short time in my opinion he could’ve walked into most teams in the world I love those types of players that are just short of greats ForeverAndEver 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers_no1 32,766 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Not top tier anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevemac 5,017 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 He was just below 'elite' level for me, he's had a solid career and was very very good tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McEwan's Lager 30,708 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I think he was / is a good player but he's certainly not top tier. In his age range (84-88 born) you would have Benzema, Lewandowksi and Suarez as probably the top. At their peaks I'd still have Rooney, Aguero, Torres, Falcao, Cavani, Higuain, and Diego Costa over him. Negri's lovechild 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costa had a claim to being the best striker in the world in the 13/14 season. I just don't think Dzeko has ever been in that conversation.

Villa was a bit older. Only listed players two years either side of Dzeko’s birth. Rangers_no1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger 8,780 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Dzeko was probably at his best as the main striker for a very good, but not elite team. Not sure he'd ever be considered good enough to be the main striker for an elite team, although he would have added depth to pretty much any squad in his pomp. How good was he though - very good.
