I see he scores a lot of headers. Maybe he'll be the answer in the box for Isla and Armeros(if he arrives) crosses.

Did you even see Premier League last year?
van Persie was the best player in Premier League last season, Dzeko wasn't even a starter.
All I know is that Van Persie is a 29 year old who has had 2 great, consistent seasons in his entire career. Two seasons that are, arguably, still not as good as what Dzeko has shown in his best seasons.

You can argue about which player you'd prefer, you can argue about who is better, etc.
But saying one is 2 classes above the other makes absolutely no sense to me.

Athletic rejected €35m for him from Spurs in the Jan Window of 2010-11 season.(Not sure how much of it is true but like someone said but they always intend to keep hold of their Basque players,hence the inflated price tags ,they dont want to let go of Martinez either and whoever wants him need to meet the €40m buyout clause,i mean this is a DM we're talking about)..The player wants to leave but the club wants to keep hold of him so its quite obvious that they just wont let go of him for a lesser fee..I reckon they wouldnt even bother listening to offers under €20m.
Month ago, they released an official statement, saying they won't sell their players, on their website.

Unless it's a big offer.

Good point. I guess being a striker, Llorente may cost more. Plus, he has been called up for the Spanish NT too now.
He's been with the Spanish NT in four years now.

agreed...too bad we don't have that kind of cash to take their trio here.
Trio? They got many fantastic players.

Llorente, Javi Martinez, Ander Herrera, Iker Muniain, Jon Aurtenetxe and Ander Iturraspe.

:tuttosport:

Bring Munain with him too! It would be a shame seeing him leave Bilbao though, their a great side to watch. But fuck that if it means coming here :tuttosport:
If you want Juve to spend 65mil euro.

My thoughts at the time of reading an article relating to this transfer rumour was:

DONE DEAL THIS SH!T NOW!

....although I'm pessimisstic about it actually ever happening.

But you must take into account that those best seasons that Dzeko had were in Bundesliga.

29-year-old with 1 good season, injury prone and 1 year left on the contract is worth 30 million, Isla and Asamoah are both worth 18 million and Llorente isn't worth 20 million ? The retardation is strong in you guys
