Now you're just throwing yourself a life-line. I already said(click) nationality plays a part in transfers, albeit a small one and for young, unproven players, certainly not for 25 year old players who have scored over 80 goals, in both club and national competitions, shined on every possible stage.
If we're talking about a 17 year old Diego playing for Santos and a 17 year old Dzeko playing for Sarajevo, than your point would have some validity. But like this, absolutely not.
You have specifically stated it's funny how Wolfsburg rate a Bosnian Dzeko 40m, and Brazilian Diego 15-20m. What's even more ridiculous, is the fact both players made their name in the same league. Yet one is a Bosnian, the other is Brasilian, so their value can't possibly be the same.
Still he signed for almost the same amount as Diego did for Juventus? Your logic dictates, that makes Croatia and Brasil on par as far as football terms go? Gee, thanks mate.
Fact of the matter is, even though I rate Modric sky-high, he was overpayed considering the league he hails from. Lucky thing is he had amazing NT performances to boost his value. Again, he was payed so much because an English club bought him, not because Croatia are a world force in football. Wow, that sounds good.
I feel I need to reiterate this, I'm not saying EPL clubs don't overpay for English, they do, but they (obviously) overpay for everyone else.
Well I've read that on BBC, Telegraph, Daily Mail and that was rejected immediatelly by Redknapp.
This is what you said; "The man who by the very nature of his position and nationality carries extra pressure from being a Brazillian number 10"
I don't know but that sounds like a definitive statement to me. Maybe if you explained yourself further, I wouldn't misunderstand.
Alen, for the life of me, please put some Dzeko statistics from the last two seasons, from club level and NT. Games played, goals scored. Assists if you can muster as well.
Dzeko is without a shadow of a doubt, one of the 5 best strikers in the world currently. He's not yet world class, as he needs a couple of more seasons in a big club to prove it, but he is 24 years old which absolutely raises his price. He has the form and the numbers behind him to prove it, and I have my eyes to judge. Seriously, if you rate Dzeko 20m there is something very wrong with your observational skills.

Another problem you have with context, by stating Diego was a Brazillian number 10 I wasn't talking about him literally being the number 10 for Brazil. You really need to read these things properly. Since he's been at Santos he's had the hype around him, the number 10 hype around him, these type of players suffer intense scrutiny and pressure which is only worse when you are Brazillian. You are built up by hype and then ripped to shreds if you don't cut it.
You have totally bypassed and failed to understand any point i've made. Then in doing so convinced yourself it is infact me who's being idiotic
You have failed to acknowledge Nationality as a factor in player value and also used this to get away from my main point that Dzeko is over-priced....
