You seriously think we'd have 15 million left, after that transfer...plus his wages? I don't think so.
They said many things. They also said that our priority is defense and that we'll sign a striker only if we sell one. That doesn't sound like getting Dzeko IMO.
We still have 30+days...not to mention we haven't sold anyone yet (the likes of Giovinco, Amauri, Iaquinta, Grygera, Zebina, Camo, Poulsen, Sissoko, De Ceglie, Grosso, plus the numerous youth we seem to sell so easily)...we could very well make a lot of money on sales yet if we can find buyers.
I know we need a LB and another winger but if we get ones with an EU passport then we wouldn't have a problem signing Dzeko, especially if Agnelli is willing (and able) to increase money.
Budget + Agnelli's extra money + player sales = ????...that's right, no one really knows and its probably better that way. They were smart about costs on Pepe, trying hard not to get screwed over Krasic, and Martinez was not that bad either...we still have squad depth and even so after some sales.
A lot can still be done in a month, Dusan. We seem to have a very ambitious president and BoD now...plus we have been in the green still after everything, we are still a healthy club.
I get we would fuck ourselves if we just get a striker and nothing else and I think everyone here knows that.
