Before this match, Dzeko started 27 (1 sub), shot 133 times, in goal 59 times, scored 16

He scores after about 8 attempts and he tries 5 each match. His goals & assists / matches rate is still high, so that can't be count as wasteful, in team like Wolfsburg, he must create chances for himself and others, not only receive the ball and score.

Of course, he is a true upgrade of Borri.

However, Hunter with 8 starts (13 subs), shot 28, in goal 14, scored 7

is still very impressive.

Hunter & Dzeko are 2 different type of forward, I'd rather trade Borri with Dzeko.

I've heard that Paloschi has a grow spurt this year, made him 5 centimeters taller (his height in Wiki is now 1m82). Paloschi's only weakness was his small body; his heading, shooting, speed and movement are very good. He can be the replacement for Pippo now.

I don't know whether or not we'll sell Dinho, but if Pato don't get serious injuries, the forwards set of: Pato, Borri, Hunter, Paloschi is still competitive.
