I will say FUCK Dzeko before he joins Juve. I have a bad feeling he is coming. 4th choice striker coming from man shiitty and Juventus fans are excited. What the world has come to.
That's a very skewed way of looking at it actually. He is fourth choice compared to three strikers who are all arguably world class or thereabouts. Tevez, Aguero and Balotelli. And he's also fourth choice coz he's not ideally suited to Mancini's system. That doesn't make him a bad player or not good enough, I'd say of everyone we've been linked with, he has a chance to do very well with our team. Also, seeing the current football climate and our own capacity/ability to negotiate, and undying need to have things on our terms, I'd say Dzeko would make for a fair signing all things considered.
Load of shit. They paid like €35m
They overpaid, and they know it. They won't get anything close to that, and the further they push the mercato, the easier it'll be for the buying team if the player requests a transfer. Mancini will be forced to sell. Theres really very little room for negotiation in such a situation, and you need to take a call because holding on to him may price him out of the market and you're stuck with wages and a player you don't want, which is also a detriment to buying a player you do.
Sportmediaset:Juventus have decided to change track and step up their efforts to sign Dzeko.Mancini ready to sell the Bosnian for a figure of around 20m(not sure if pounds or euros)
I'd say 22-23m plus bonuses and this will be done middle of next week. My guess is, that Marrotta was waiting for Edin's situation to develop all along.
