Dzeko will be on the last year of his contract, no? wolfsburg is going to have to come to some kind of an agreement this summer otherwise they risk losing him for nothing, right?
The sum this summer that they wanted was fantasy, this summer with the deal of diego and dzeko's contract ending we will be the ones that have the upper hand. He wanted to come last summer, he will want to come this summer...his will with our offers will surely make them think about the deal and making it more realistic.
Dzeko for 30m is much better than the Pastore's for 70m and Neymar for 35m or whatever the asking price is. We finally have crosses flying in from all over and our distribution has improved drastically, I sure as hell don't think Neymar and Pastore will be as much a dominate force in the box/goal area that Edin would be. We already have mids that can score and we know that because they are already outscoring our current strikers...hell, even our defenders can do that.
Dzeko would damn near complete our attack.
Dzeko 30m
Aquilani 15m
Quag 10m
...that's only 55m plus selling the likes of Sissoko/Amauri/Iq/Brazzo, etc...player exchanges, giving out youth players, etc...not to mention who is to say that Marotta will not find some much better loans with options to buy next summer?
Let's say he finds two good wingbacks for 10m and under and/or with loan's with an option to buy for the forth coming season...then add Dzeko's 30m..that's a max of 50m...a LM for max 15m, aquilani for 15m, quag for 10m...90m out...take away what ever deductions from players we sell...I bet, overall we could get a very sexy team for next year for around 50m total spent. And if Marotta finds some nice loans with options to buy, that fee could be even lower.
