But he also has good technique.[LNB] 'Most importantly he is a goal scorer who gets them with his left foot, his right foot, his head. He can score all types of goals. That is what City are getting. He is a good buy for them. [LNB]'He is a good boy, he needs to work harder now he is in the Premier League than he does at present but he will adjust, no problem. [LNB]Big loss: McClaren must do without Dzeko[LNB]'He is also a good age, just 24. Strangely he reminds me of Alen Boksic, who I worked with at Middlesbrough, in the way he plays and scores. But he is probably a better all-round player than him and definitely has something that City miss. [LNB]'He will be ideal for City, especially alongside Carlos Tevez. That will be a very potent partnership, very strong. I wish him well at City and hope he succeeds and fulfils his dream and potential there.'[LNB] Dzeko was the top scorer in the German top flight last season with 22 goals and boasts a career record of 84 in 142 games.
