Roma striker Edin Dzeko has been voicing his opinion on a whole host of topics and he's came out with a few ridiculous statements.
Dzeko, though a handy goalscorer when it counts, has divided opinion in his career and has been subject of criticism at his last two clubs: Manchester City and his current employers Roma.
In an interview with Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, the Bosnian was quizzed and produced some interesting quotes.

When asked about the criticism he receives, his response was:
"If I was a player who scored 50 goals a year, I'd be worth €80m and wouldn't be at Roma!"
In other news, water is wet and grass is green. But Dzeko had more to say.
The former Wolfsburg man addressed the quickly changing opinions of fans and journalists in Italy and talked about the difficulties that come with being a professional footballer.
He said:

"I don't understand the constantly changing opinions [in Italy]. One day you're a phenomena, the next you're nothing. You are crazy about Roma here, but it's not an easy place to play. You shouldn't think our lives are easy."
Then he made a debatable statement when discussing the stress and sacrifices a player has to make, even though footballers make a pretty good living on a weekly basis.
"It's hard to fulfil our ambitions. We work for them at the cost of serious sacrifice and enormous stress. People talk about the comfort of wealth. But you don't consider the effort we put in to reach this level."
Dzeko concluded his little outburst with something that will surely stir up a debate.
