Re: Edin Dzeko
Absolutely. IIRC from the Barca documentary - the structure of these types of deals is such that you can get several bonuses for passing landmarks over the course of a season. So i Imagine a striker for example or an attacking midfield player will get X amount for 10 goals, then a higher amount for 20 goals, etc.

Yes and no. It's true that bonuses don't count toward the wage bill, but Soriano did exactly the same thing at Barca when he first went there in the pre FFP days. He obviously believes you get better value by dishing out large bonuses rather than simply giving huge wages.
