Anyway, other guy, genuine “Vulcan” among your bloggers, one James McManus, wrote an article “10 players looks good only on MOTD”, and while performing amazing feat of logic and perception, he magically degraded leading goal-getter in champions roster, generously placing him on the list together with likes of Phil Jones, Adel Taraabt, Charlie Adam, Franco Di Santo, Bryan Ruiz, and few others. I mean, obviously Dzeko was never MD in England, he was never “media darling” like Milner or Barry, or at least like Balo or Aguero, quite the opposite. Nevertheless, scope of degradation speaks for itself.

Dzeko scores goals, as striker should, his movements are even more important in leading the City attacking line according to Mancini, his goals according to first assistant Platt are all “heavy goals” – form saving FA Cup in last minute gasp vs. Notts, to only goal vs. Wigan which made all the difference at the top of the table in the end, with nothing short of heroic vs. QPR, to current season when his goals alone weight at least 17 points, all scored in half of the time played by City “true” strikers Aguero, Tevez and Balo, … and this genius equating him to Charlie Adam and Daniel Sturridge !?!?
It gets even more embarrassing if this logic is taken into account within context of McManus explanation, philosophically served in article intro – hilarious. So, if you allow me I will sting him a little bit with an advise to stick to CM or FIFA 2013 !

Having trained their sensitivity to every kind of chauvinism and racism, my German friends are among first to notice that, since he arrived to PL & England, Dzeko lacks one and one thing only – popular ethnicity, background and origin worthy of English respect, say Argentinian! It’s a harsh observation, but something really does stinks profoundly and it’s not regular bullshit, but more likely traditional prejudice. Actually, former Bleacher Report blogger Richard Kirkland from Manchester was really determined in making me think twice before dismissing it as nonsense. Kirkland was mad as hell not only with constant depreciation and belittling of Bosnian talent and contribution by English football portals and blogs, but also with small but vocal number of City supporters, which ended in bitter written exchange with fellow blogger at BR.

And finally all this gets little bit more substantial with another dimension which I find in the work of my acquaintance historian M.A.Hoare, Reader on Kingston University and History Fellow on Cambridge University, who has been writing on question of English anti-Balkans bias and particularly ant-Bosnian bias and prejudice for quite some time, bias which wriggles through all social strata and streaches acros every level of all of the Balkans societies, groups, as well as on individuals.
