Donīt get me wrong, this isnīt a knock at you, but as I said, very few watched most of Sevilla games. In Fabiano case these stats are misleading. To be fair, you could have writed Fabianoīs São Paulo and Brazil NT goal average to make a point...they are trully impressive.
Also, 2008/09 he was injured a lot, and play several of this 26 games coming of the bench...
I really want to see Dzeko next season. Bundesliga today is a very offensive oriented league, and isnīt that hard to score like in the past.
Imo, 13 pounds for the starter of Brazil NT, goal scorer in South America Quali, estabilished player is a embarassing offer.

I was just looking at his stats yesterday and they are, indeed, impressive the past two season. There are two gaps of about a month in his game log from last season, so I assumed he was injured during those periods. He started only 21 games, so 8 goals isn't that bad. But he also scored 7 goals in just 5 Copa del Rey games and 2 more in 4 UEFA Cup games. Fans are too prone to assume a player sucks if he didn't do something spectacular in his most recent season, but they don't bother to look into the reasons. But anyone who remembers him in the Champions League two years ago (7 goals in 8 games) should have an idea what a fine player he really is. And when you look at his stats this way (including Copa del Rey and UEFA Cup this past season and CL the season before), it doesn't look bad at all:
2007-08
36 GS 4 sub 31 goals
2008-09
30 GS 6 sub 17 goals
