Dzeko?

[sgerlat]

This. Politely leave and come back only when you think there's a chance you will be taken seriously.

Let's be realistic.

Dzeko wants to be the man somewhere else and Roma is the perfect landing spot for him, while City on the other end want to sell him to get an upgrade at the position.
They'll shake hands at €22-23m because it's pretty clear this is in the best interest of both clubs.

We've had some good times with Dzeko but in truth I can probably only name 5 games in which he has really performed for us. There a far better forwards out there. Time to sell and scout

Oh fuck off. If you can only think of 5 games in which he has performed I'm going to hazard a guess that you haven't watched us too much over the last 4 years so you should't really be commenting.

Think the time has come for him to go but I hate to see some of the stick he gets. Always seemed to me that he ended up being a real scapegoat if things weren't going well. Overall a very good few years for us, some fantastic memories. If he does end up going this summer he'll be remembered very fondly by myself.

I think €20m is fair for a 29 year old who is clearly not in our plans.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Well said Pollocks

If City want £20m, then I think £15m upfront + £5m in add ons would be good compromise.

Ohhh hope rekindled here....could it happen...cheers Dzeko for that goal you will always be remembered.

Considering they signed Iturbe for £17m last summer, we shouldn't budge at all.

+1

He could be frustrating to watch but only because of what he was capable of. He's had a hand in our greatest successes and we definitely couldn't have won either title without him.

   Gazzetta dello Sport says Dzeko is 'being held hostage' because City are not caving in to Roma's offer.

I wish Roma were realistic.

Again, if you can't afford something you don't buy it.
