I can understand your worry about dzeko but Ronaldo and Messi still deliver the champions League and perform at the highest level

Dzeko is still a productive player. He’s older than Higuain but doesn’t look nearly as washed.

He's definitely slower. Who's better currently overall, him or Dzeko?

It’s close but Dzeko would be 1. Much cheaper
2. A better fit
3. Already accustomed to Serie A football.

Those 2 salaries alone could cripple us, though.

I don't have any idea how to make it work, but thankfully that is not my job.

Don't get me wrong, to see the 2 greatest players of the last 20 years on the same club would be absolutely fucking amazing. Probably unheard of in the history of this sport.

I am sure just as the way we found a way to sign Ronaldo it will be the same with Messi and new tax laws can provide us with an advantage over other clubs

Still it is a lot of money for 34 year old striker whose form and fitness over two years will be a question mark unless he takes a wage cut

Would Dzeko still be cheaper than Suarez if Suarez came on a bosman?

Laquipe says we are serious about Messi.
Ofcourse he would be great but I dont like the issue with our no balance.

Liverpool and Bayern will still be better as they have that thing called midfield

Which we are fixing....

 

[Mr Chocolate]

I am happy with either IF the money involved does not hamper our efforts to strengthen other positions in the squad that need it, i like Dzeko as a player, and Suarez' track record (as much of an absolute cunt as he is) speaks for itself.
I would rather Dzeko out of the 2 because i think he will age better and has a profile that suits us better.

Much cheaper is debatable

Suarez will surely demand a higher wage

So many people joining the Dzeko train.


My heart swells for you all.

What is Suarez wage?

Which midfielder that can improve our midfield is available Pogba SMS Luis Alberto Zaniolo ?

Wouldn't the club have come out and said we aren't trying to sign Messi if we weren't actually inquiring?


Seems like a crazy rumor the club wouldn't want growing if it wasn't true?

After the Ronaldo signing, I have learned not to rule out anything. I think the two may actually want to play next each other as a last hurrah.

I posed the question in GOATs thread. What if they actually do want to play together one time before they hang up their boots? And why not? It's like a dream team scenario.


I mean guys, if Messi can free up his contract and our tax laws benefiting Italy over EPL/French teams, I don't think its all that crazy to think about it.


All I see is that photo earlier from the week with Pirlo talking to Paratici/Nedved and Ronaldo on the other side giving a thumbs up


What a clamorso tectonic shift this would be lol

If it wasn’t for covid and leaving the CL so early and missing out on the $$$ I wouldn’t rule it out. I mean we got Ronaldo.

But do we have that kind of money now? And players Barça would be interested in?

If we manage to clear the books of these high earners, and we have Italy's tax laws in our favor for high earning foreigners AND Messi becomes a free agent? I'd say if the stars are aligned like they were with Ronaldo we could have GOATs instead of a GOAT

You can never have too many GOATs.
