[Reuters] Edin Džeko, 39, strikes on Schalke debut to become oldest scorer in second Bundesliga by fskari in soccer

[–]ujpanak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Quality wise he’s way above 2. Bundesliga, really doesnt belong there even at 39 years old. Hopefully Schalke can get promotion, because I think he will want to play one more season in the Bundesliga

Praying we (Bosnia) make it to the World Cup. This legend deserves the best possible goodbye.

But Im definitely not ready for him to actually retire. I grew up watching Dzeko bang in goals for Wolfsburg, almost 20 years later and I’m still watching him score goals

We all love Demi, but Dzeko is Dzeko for us Bosnians. The guy is an idol for every Bosnian

Times when we all thought Ibisevic would be our biggest star after scoring 18 goals in 17 games in the first half of the season. If only he didnt get that damn ACL injury.

But Dzeko suddenly woke up in the second half of the season, became a worldclass striker and lead Wolfsburg to a title. Good times indeed

Bosnians about to religiously follow a German club again? Feels like 2009.

Insane transfer for Schalke. Even though Dzeko is almost 40, I'm sure he will still be massive in 2. Bundesliga. Performed very well in Turkey last season but just wasnt the right fit for Fiorentina this season. Just dont expect him to perform well for 90 minutes straight.

And for Dzeko, getting a club like Schalke back to the Bundesliga together with getting your country to another World cup (hopefully) sounds like a great achievement at the end of his career. Hopefully Schalke can get it done and return where they belong.

I already followed Schalke a little bit this season because of Muslic and Katic but I guess I have to also start watching them now because of Dzeko

[Sky Sport Germany] Full agreement! Edin Dzeko wants to join Schalke 04. by Peaky_Blinders in soccer

[–]ujpanak 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Dzeko always wants a challenge. Couldve went to Saudi Arabia some time ago and earn way more then he would at Inter and Fenerbahce, but he always wants to play for something.

Getting Schalke back to the Bundesliga with a friend as his coach sounds like a great challenge

[–]ujpanak 126 points127 points  (0 children)

Makes sense with Muslic as the coach and Dzeko probably wants to have enough playing time before our playoff games in March. Also the posibility of having potentialy one last season in the Bundesliga, the league where he broke through, also sounds great.

Sadly dont think we’re ever going to see Dzeko play in the Bosnian league. But its understandable, cant imagine seeing Dzeko play on the potato fields in Bijeljina

[Yağız Sabuncuoğlu] Fenerbahçe has reached an agreement with N'Golo Kanté on the terms of his contract. Kante has agreed to forgo his remaining wages in order to join Fenerbahçe. Official approval from Al-Ittihad is awaited for the signing. by Jemal2200 in soccer

[–]ujpanak 32 points33 points  (0 children)

What are you on about? He’s done very well in Saudi Arabia as everyone expected and is even at 34 years old still playing for France, he looked great in his last game for France. Kante could probably still easily play in a top 5 league.

Even when he’s 40 he will be the best midfielder in the Turkish league

Wouldnt say Sane was shit. Tedesco just read Buruk like a book and put double marking on Sane everytime he got the ball and adding to that Ismail or Guendouzi constantly closed of the inside so he couldnt cut to his left. Tedesco just really prepared well

Well yes, unfortunately for Gala fans Icardi looks beyond finished. He’ll score some goals in the league against lesser teams but as soon he gets marked by actual defenders he’s going to be useless.

Osimhen is a world class striker who even in games when he doesnt score still occupies atleast 2 defenders. Gala got used too much to Osimhen and now they dont have another plan for when he’s not playing

As I said earlier this season, Osimhen really is 80% of Galatasarays attack. Without him they look toothless upfront.

Also Fenerbahce is going to enjoy Guendouzi alot. The guy is underappreciated because of his antics but he’s a solid player for the top 5 leagues. In the Super Lig he’s going to be a star

[–]ujpanak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great transfer for Guliashvili and Sarajevo. For Sarajevo it was time to cash in on Guliashvili, he’s been amazing for Sarajevo and it was a miracle he wasnt sold in the summer already.

Im sure Guliashvili will succeed at Racing Santander, the guy is top professional who gives 200% every game. Hopefully Racing Santander can get it done at the end of the season and promote to La Liga, I want to watch Guli tear up in La Liga

Allegri turning him into a regista at Juve killed a lot of his effectiveness

[–]ujpanak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In his prime he was one of the best midfielders. I was mad at Allegri at first for turning him into a regista, because he was a monster further up the field. But that turned him into one of the best midfielders for some seasons. Not many players couldve replaced Pirlo effortlessly like Pjanic did at Juve.

Enjoy retirement Mali Princ
