It's quiet 10, no apologies! (continued)

[cleav]

good god, i WISH we could get 30 for dzeko! i'd be pretty surprised if we got 20 for him.

This post makes you sound like a spoilt kid. Dzeko scored some very important goals the past two seasons. I'd love him to stay and prove plebs like you wrong.

haha spoilt how? there isn't a team in the world who would give us 30 million for dzeko, you know it. and if he IS worth that kind of money, he definitely should have scored some very important goals over 18 months, that's his job. we have quite a few players that are worth more now than when we bought them, dzeko isn't one of them. what do you disagree with exactly?

We can go back and forth with stats all you want. Those 13 goals...5 were from the Norwich game. 1 was from the QPR game after Tevez had been subbed and would not have happened without Mario.

Bottom line. The three most important games of our season the partnership was shut out. Not trying to start a fight. I just hate the fucker, and don't rate him nearly as much as most.

The ball, played into Tevez, holds it up feeds it nicely around the corner to Nasri...... The rest my friend is history

It was a turning point without question mate! To come from behind to beat Chelsea was a real confidence booster at that point in the season.

Tolmie without wanting to sound rude you are talking nonsense. Why would the club want to keep tevez and sell Dzeko when tevez is walking out on a free next year and Dzeko is worth 30 million roughly ? As for signing van persie he has had ONE outstanding season and is going on 30. To suggest he will make us world class is in all honesty laughable.

Tevez has 2 years left and RVP is 28 now going on 29 3/4 goods years for him yet. I'd sell Dzeko tomorrow for 20m+ because he just doesn't look a premiership player in my eyes.

So many of the players we are linked with these days play in the Italian league. Obviously our coaching staff is dominated by Italians but are we looking too pre-occupied with Italy?

Yup, Bale, RvP and Martinez all stars of Serie A!

From Serie A recently: Jovetic, Verrati, Ibrahimovic, Cavani, Lavezzi, Thiago Silva, Sneijder etc.
As regards "Bale, RVP or Martinez" We will have to pay a fortune to get them from their clubs, plus big wages! None of the clubs involved are looking to sell and none of these players have said they want to come to us yet.
With FFP coming in we should be looking for maximum value with our signings and looking to unearth gems from around the globe.
There has been criticism of the rags getting Kagawa from Dortmund but IMO this is the sort of "good value" player we should be buying.

Bale, Martinez & RVP would cost a fortune because the market and their current clubs think they are top quality.

Would 'good value' players improve us ? We may get lucky ( Vinny)we may not (Crocky, Bridge, Manu),
While there is an element of risk in all transfers, we're now in a position where we try and buy of the top shelf, not the middle or bottom. That's what we should be looking to do IMO.

Someone mentioned Muller earlier today.. just have read him confirming he was not happy with his status at Bayern last season and that he has Inter Milan's offer and that it is something he is considering.

Muller would be an unbelievable signing! If we're losing edin to bayern could we not sort a player swop deal?

That would be ideal if they were interested in Edin.

He is leaving because he doesn't start, he won't here either.
