RVP is obviously the #1 choice here after his fantastic season with Arsenal. At least for now. But Dzeko brings more of what we need. We need someone who can finish, who runs in areas so he can get the ball, someone who can head in a cross, someone who knows how to play without the ball, someone who doesn't want to create but wants to finish.
He doesn't say: Juventus are going to sign RVP 100%. He only reports things like the two clubs are meeting, Juve have shown interest etc.. Much of that is correct.
I totally agree with Melo here. Di Marzio is awesome and is always well informed. And people should stop excepting that whatever Di Marzio reports means that the deal is almost done. He only tells us whats going on and anything can happen after that. People have mixed up the Juventuz guru game with a real reporter.
I came across an explosion of news late this evening, one band of sources claiming we have an agreement with arsenal, the other part claiming we agreed terms with the player
This is an article published by Di Marzio on 21th saying that van Persie trends to refuse Man City who offers him aproxi. 9m (in euro) a year because he prefers a team with history and tradition and where he can be the protagonist, that he'd like to choose between United and Juve. DM also said that RVP is a perfectionist who tends to consider every detail of things. http://www.gianlucadimarzio.com/cal...col-city-la-juve-sfida-soprattutto-lo-united/
Also Arsenal has offered him 135k per week, which is around 4.5M after tax in euro per year, not 6.7M. And we can offer him 5.5-6M+bonus.
Personaly I think he just wants to get a reasonable wage but I do believe money is not his priority, which of course doesn't mean money doesn't matter at all, but I don't think what he requests is beyond our capacity.
:wth: Fuck you I said it'd be a massive shame to miss out on him. I still believe we will do well with Jovetic, Giovinco, Vucinic, Pazzini, and whoever
