We have 15M for Dzeko but not 30M for Thiago?


I know they are different players, but come on.

For one, we were never close to agreeing anything with Thiago.
Second, we have 0 strikers while we need to get rid of some more midfielders before we can buy anyone in that position.

It's just a two year deal, a stop-gap solution and just in time when Haaland Caputo becomes available

15m

Not sure what's worse, the reported fee or wages

I’d say the wages, this club is generous with those, when it doesn’t matter of course

Dzeko has 32 assists in the last four years and Milik has 4.

most of us are, i guess. it's the reported costs that make me think once again. 15m transfer fee plus 7-7,5m net would make him one of the most expensive players of the squad. that's around 20-21m per season, and only cr, de ligt and costa cost more than 20m for the club. (higuain also did, and dybala would too with an improved salary)

This is what happens when you are backed into a corner through either circumstances, bad or slow choices, or a combination of both. Other clubs know exactly what you want and it's hard to negotiate. You have to pay top dollar to buy or even to get rid of players.

We've put ourselves in this situation too often recently. Some of it is down to Covid, the coach change, the previous coach choice. Higuain might've stayed if Sarri was still here but there has been a lot of hesitancy due to finances.

At least Roma have Milik in hand now, so it suits all parties to get Dzeko off their wage bill and onto ours.

So the reporters did know what was going on eh?

Edin

Welcome! Perfect match for CR and Dybala. People will eat their words when he starts playing.

 

[redrum]

Will he be our new Higuain in the future?

This.

On a side and serious note though, Dzeko’s hold-up play is too good, one of the best in Europe. I’m sure Pirlo will make a good use of that.

Not really. No long term contract, and less than 20% of Higuain's transfer fee.

 

[Mark]

Is Hustini ok?

 

[K.O.]

I just realized Roma are getting what they paid for Dzeko 5 years ago!

They signed him in 2015 for 4m loan with 11m option to buy! Jeez how good was that deal?

Dzeko always took great care of himself

Should have signed him instead of Higgy?

Everything is easy in hindsight...

Seems kinda high, hopefully he is nowhere near his wife and son/daughter.

 

[TheLaz]

€ 15m !?!?!?!?!?!?!?

They better pay us €20m for De Sciglio

I like that and also reading where he is good in the air. A BIG presence to go along with CR7 and #10. Looking over stats I'll take this guy who has averaged 19 goals/assists in league play last 3 years. Go beyond that to 2016-17 where he has 29 G and 9 A in league play. Add to that 13 Roma goals in last 18 CL matches over 2 years. Forget the age but comparison to Higgy, a player I liked a lot, Dzeko probably will be better shape at 40 than present day Higgy. CR7 ain't getting any younger and getting a proven scorer is a plus.
