People keep mentioning Dzeko next year like it's a sure thing - have I missed something?

Bluey says it's a done deal. I don't want to come out and say he's lying. Do you want to come out and say he's lying? (IMG:

LOL @ Jack. I never said it was a done deal. I said it had a very good chance of being completed.
@mike: We have an agreement with wolfsburg that goes along these lines. If by the end of the group stages of the CL, Milan qualify to the round of 16 and wolfsburg do not, then we can sign Dzeko for a fee of 20 million in January. That is his release clause that he has built in his contract. If however, wolfsburg qualify or we decide to buy him next summer, that deal is still in existence.
Thats is why I personally believe he is one of the reasons why B&G didn't spend more than 15m on any transfers. He was our main target this summer and we did fight for him until about August. When we couldn't get him we had that deal made with wolfsburg. So we are still going to go for him, which i believe strongly.
Lets not forget too that Dzeko wants to come here and he will one way or another. Whether that is in January, next summer or in a few years. But I believe he'll come in Jan.
