Yeah...I hope you're kidding. Players should leave their religions in their own homes IMO. I'd rather sell Sissoko and get a full time player instead.
Juventus knew what they were getting when they bought him though. I'm not a fan of professional football players fasting and I think it's very unhealthy for them to do so, but I am also 100% sure that this kind of thing is regulated in his contract.

What I don't get is Wolfsburg are expecting 33 million for a Bosnian striker who's had a couple of 'promising' seasons at a still relatively modest club. And they expect to sign the Brazillian Diego for 15 million who was the one of top performers in the Bundesliga a couple of years ago.

Think they need to show a little more common sense. I'm not properly convinced Dzeko is 'all that' and anything more than 20 million for him would be a big risk imo. Werder are only wanting 16 million for Ozil who was of the star performers at the world cup and is only 21. Fair enough he is in the last year of his contract but Wolfsburg are being totally unrealistic in how they value their own players and other players

the value of one player depends on the contract. e.g(how many years left)

How many times have we seen someone score 30+ goals one season only to see them flop in subsequent seasons. No guarantee that in a new league, at a bigger club, Dzeko may choke and flop miserably

I understand the value of contract but value should also be drawn in comparison with the current market. For 33 million you could buy a Torres or a Villa for that money. His price is vastly inflated, hence why he's still at Wolfsburg

Who is the last player to score 30 goals in consecutive seasons in a top European league (Italy, England, Spain, Germany) and 'flop' after moving?
Generally players who score that amount in those leagues don't move as they are already at established clubs. If you could name people who have made similar moves and haven't flopped then please name some?

Off the top of my head we've seen the likes of Mateja Kezman, Andriy Shevchenko, Hernan Crespo, Diego Forlan do the 'business' for one team in one league and fail elsewhere.

Wolfsburg in Germany isn't the same as playing for Juventus in Italy or Man Utd in England or Real Madrid in Spain.

Also the other thing that worries me. Why is it only really Man City and us chasing his signature? Milan too I suppose. Not exactly appealing to the other big clubs in europe it seems.

who the fuck should spend 40mil?
srsly why should every player be chased by 10 clubs... only if he is chased by all clubs he is a good player?????
barca signed so many overrated overpriced players should we also go after them only because barca likes them?.......

Oh-my-God. :lol2:

The rest of your points are also crap, but this was just priceless.
