Dzeko arive in June

Ahem. Doesn't that piece of ino say, that he might sign in June? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Damir, do you know how much were going to be paying for him? I'm sure it'll be at least 20 million.

[Darunia]

My guess is they want at least 25mil. Dunno if we can afford that, probably not without selling Huntelaar first.

My guess is they want at least 25mil. Dunno if we can afford that, probably not without selling Huntelaar first.

the key to this deal is persuading huntelaar to accept a move to germany cos wolfsburg will also need a replacement, enabling some kinda swap/discount deal for dzeko, wolfsburg have a good squad and could easily qualify for the ecl next year which i'm sure KJH wants to play in. they've got money and can afford to pay him better than we can( i learnt obafemi martins earn £75000p/w there)
a swap deal is simply the best option

[Bluesummers]

Problem is Hunt doesn't want to leave. Its not a matter of money.

He's playing for Ac Milan; a step down to wolfsburg is just not something he is ready to do even if it means more playing time.


The only way Hunt will go is if we find a premiership team that will accept him.


----

But I have a strong feeling that he's going to be playing a very important part in our team after christmas.

Starting January he will have been in Italy at least 5 months, which is the amount of time required for someone to adapt to the league. So when he finally steps on the pitch things may look different.

We have:

Pato
Borriello
Huntelaar
Inzaghi
(dzeko next year)


Thats 5 very good strikers. If pippo doesn't renew that leaves us with 4.

Furthermore we have:

Adiyiah, Ronaldinho, Seedorf, Di gennaro who also want to play in the attack.


Imo, we need to find a solid RB more than anything else. Leave our foreward line up the way it is and have Pato/Dinho/Dzeko on the flanks and leave Hunt and Borri in the middle. With this line up:


Dzeko---Pato----Dinho
---------borri/hunt



Not bad seedorf is also cover and so is Adiyiah.

Filippo Inzaghi On Chelsea & Manchester City Radar - Report


Veteran striker Filippo Inzaghi is a reported target for Manchester City and Chelsea, who are both keen to bolster their attacking ranks in the winter transfer window.

Inzaghi, currently at Milan, has fallen out of favour with rookie Brazilian manager Leonardo, and could be set for a move in January - six months prior to the expiration of his contract in June.

According to a report in Corriere dello Sport, Inzaghi is also on the wishlist of Atletico Madrid.

Mark Hughes is eager to sign an experienced striker, while Carlo Ancelotti - who worked with 'Pippo' during their time together at the San Siro - is keen on signing a player to help compensate for the collective loss of Salamon Kalou and Didier Drogba when Ivory Coast compete in the African Cup of Nations.
Inzaghi is yet to score in the Serie A this season, but has twice struck in European competition.

Probably absolute nonsense.

[Patinho]

he has a goal in serie a

[Jack Sparrow]

Pippo in EPL?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) All of England shall bow down to the relative 'fairplay' of Drogba once they see 10 minutes of Pippo in action!

SAF will die of a heart attack if Chelsea play Man U.

Yeah, it's such a ridiculous rumor. if Pippo were to leave, it'd be for another Serie A team IMO.

Edin Dzeko wird nach eigener Aussage auf jeden Fall bis zum Saisonende beim Deutschen Meister VfL Wolfsburg bleiben. „Ein Wechsel im Winter ist gar kein Thema“, sagte Dzeko der „Sport Bild“. Der Stürmer war zuletzt wieder mit dem AC Mailand in Verbindung gebracht worden, nachdem ihm der VfL im Sommer die Freigabe verweigert hatte. Angeblich wollen die Italiener den 23- Jährigen nun in der Winterpause verpflichten. Sollte Dzeko die Niedersachsen tatsächlich nach der Saison verlassen, wird sich Armin Veh um Ersatz bemühen müssen. „Wir beobachten den Markt“, sagte der Trainer und Manager des deutschen Meisters. „Konkret kann man sich aber erst kümmern, wenn es so weit ist.“ Dzeko besitzt bei den „ Wolfsburgern noch einen Vertrag bis zum Sommer 2013. dpa

A Dzeko transfer in January won't happen. That's what the man himself said. A transfer during summer seems to be very likely though.

[ganney]

i think we should get krasic before we bother bidding for dzeko next summer, since we got that media link with krasic i've since a few games and highlights and believe we need him more than another striker, this new attacking pattern we've got will see our team doomed if dinho or seedorf or worse both pick up injuries, well we've got beckham coming in till the season ends and i'll feel much better with krasic early next season

[amancik]

The transfer of Beckham and Adiyiah will do us good. If Di Gennaro can play football, then we shouldn't worry too much. We do need to start using our youngsters though. Tired legs are starting to kick in. Strasser, Pedrocchi and Merkel, they should given 10 minutes or so.

Gennaro Gattuso In AC Milan Quit Threat
The Italian international has issued Milan an ultimatum. He either plays, or leaves...

AC Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso has threatened to turn his back and walk out on the club after spending 11 years with the Rossoneri.

The Italian international is not happy with the way he has been used by Leonardo. He has often been peripheral to requirements. Tactical decisions and injuries have seen Gattuso's name appear very few times on team sheets, leaving him to reflect upon his Rossoneri future.

Gattuso has been linked with a number of clubs, and while Il Diavolo have tried to play down suggestions he was leaving, the player's resonant tone of voice will send an anxious message around Milanello.

"I am not happy at playing little. Will I leave? We will talk about that later," Gattuso told Sky Sport Italia.

Gattuso feels as a senior member of the squad, who has been a loyal servant for over a decade, that he is being treated unfairly.

"After 11 years of playing at Milan I just cannot hope that someone gets injured in order for me to play. I cannot think that I am no longer needed by the club and team."

On Tuesday Leonardo claimed there was "no problem" with Gattuso, but the player appears to have uncovered one.
