I think that Conte himself would apreciate Dzeko more than Higuain.
Let me explain why.
Higuain is more technical player, who can dribble, assist and finish with ease.
The qualities DP and even Quaqs have.
BUT, conte prefers are taller target man, someone who can hold the ball and dribble less.
Higuain is taller than Quaqs, but slightly sorter than Borriello. He is also swift, with a vision and mind to push forward without hesitation.
Exactly what Conte already has in Matri, in the exact same height. And exactly what Conte does not appreciates for a strange reason we cannot comprehend.
Better chances at headers, slower tempo with a slower and less technical forward? I dont know.
But for some reason, thats Conte's choice.
Dzeko is a head taller than Borriello, exactly what Borriello aspires to be, but will never become.
Exactly what Conte apprecciates and we cant.
I also prefer the Matri, DP, Higuain approach my self.
But in a 3 man forward, a Treze/Dzeko like finisher, may find a place easier. Dunno, but thats at least what Conte thinks, one thing is for sure, Vucinic will complement such a forward and offer exactly what he doesnt have and Conte will forget about Borriello, even if we keep him.
But the question is, what is a realistic price for Dzeko?
Mancity have enough so that they wont have to sell him off, he still is young and in EPL, there are clubs that could afford high bids.
Mancity will like to replace him with an even better player, so they would like the best cash they could get, so that they add the rest and buy what they wish.
Thats way they can afford the Higuain/Benzema, we cant...
