calciomercatonews,milannews and goal.com (the later 2 quoting calciomercatonews) are saying that some super agent is saying that dzeko will sign for milan after the WC... this has happend in the past let see how this one goes but imo i think we will sign dzeko bcoz he did reject all the offer ( again these are rumors) from other big clubs like chelsea or man u

I hope we somehow get Pastore so for once we call tell that crazy mafioso [aka Zamparini] to shut his mouth.

Dzeko (our MF memeber) should be able to confirm whether this is true or not.

Entscheidung über Dzeko-Wechsel naht

Wolfsburg (dpa) - Die Zukunft von Torjäger Edin Dzeko beim deutschen Fußball-Meister VfL Wolfsburg soll sich noch in diesem Monat klären.

«Laut Vertrag muss er sich bis zum 31. Mai entscheiden. Aber beide Seiten streben bis Ende März Gewissheit an, wenn möglich», sagte VfL-Manager Dieter Hoeneß der Deutschen Presse-Agentur dpa zu einem möglichen Wechsel des Bosniers. An dem 23-Jährigen, mit bislang zehn Toren in der Bundesliga bester Torschütze seines Teams, war vor der Saison bereits der AC Mailand stark interessiert. Dzeko kann für die festgeschriebene Summe von 40 Millionen Euro im Sommer wechseln.

«Es liegt nicht in unserer Macht. Wenn ein Verein, zu dem Edin wechseln möchte, bereit ist, diese Summe zu bezahlen und dieses mit einer Bankbürgschaft hinterlegt, wird er kommende Saison nicht mehr in Wolfsburg spielen», sagte Hoeneß. «Konkret hat sich noch kein Club an uns gewendet. Es gibt in Europa nur eine Handvoll Clubs, die sich Edin leisten können.» Der Manager machte den VfL-Fans daher Hoffnungen, dass Dzeko bleibt: «Es ist ein gutes Gefühl, dass man hier beim VfL Wolfsburg so einen Spieler nicht verkaufen muss, wenn ein Verein weniger als die vertraglich fixierte Summe bietet.»

Unabhängig von Dzekos Verbleib sagt Hoeneß dem Bosnier eine große Zukunft voraus. «Für mich hat er das Prädikat Weltklasse. Und das Entwicklungspotenzial ist noch nicht ausgereizt», urteilte Hoeneß. Als Verlust aus der Meistermannschaft des vergangenen Jahres steht bisher nur Christian Gentner fest, der zum VfB Stuttgart wechselt.

Palermo starlet Javier Pastore has impressed with his displays in Serie A and many top clubs have taken notice.

However, club president Maurizio Zamparini has told the press he intends to hold on to the Argentine, despite particular interest for Milan.

"At 20 years old, [Diego] Maradona has called him to the national team. I fear the sirens of larger clubs than Palermo," he told Il Corriere dello Sport.

"[Milan director Ariedo] Braida calls me every time Pastore has a good game, he has also sought to buy him. [Milan vice president] Galliani would not ask me, he knows I would say no."

Another Rosanero player grabbing the headlines is centre-back Simon Kjaer, who is linked with the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and the Rossoneri.

"Kjaer is struggling with the calls of the sirens, I hope that he remains," he concluded.

Hoeneß said, that he wants a decision till the end of this month. He says that him and Dzeko+Agent agreed on this procedure some time ago and that Dzeko can leave Wolfsburg as long as someone is willing to pay the 40 million price tag.

I think we can offload some players to wolf plus some cash and get our man. Problem is there will be strife competition when he is on the market, as City or Chelsea could shell out and take him, as their players dont seem to have a 'certain' salary cap

Wow, Zampa doesn't shut up...

We shold give them Kaladze

Hey LaPalma... I don't know why I haven't asked you this yet... but is Dzeko really all that good? I'm just not convinced.

He's good, he has talent and is definetely among the Top 3 strikers in the Bundesliga. He's been in good shape eve though Wolfsburg have been playing a horrible season till very recently. Is he worth 40 million? I don't think so.

Just like Lahm , he is good, and perfect buy for Milan.

I think he's the best striker of 1. Bundesliga. 40m€ is too much for Milan to spend on Dzeko. Hopefully, we can get him for less.

At the moment, I would buy no one for 40 million. Not even Torres. A single player takes eternity to return that kind of investment (+ his wages). We're not Madrid. We can't sell that many jerseys.

So I'd happily take Dzeko for 25 million or under. Otherwise, I'll prefer we take our chances with Matri or see if Borriello blooms some more.

Just like Lahm , he is good, and perfect buy for Milan.40m€ is too much for Milan to spend on Dzeko. Hopefully, we can get him for less.

I dunno. Gomez, Kießling and Grafite are also very good.

I'd rather have a good fullback than yet another striker.

We've basically had strikers-by-committee since our last dominant goalscorer (Sheva The First) left in '06.

I don't think that Madrid benefit from jerseys that much. They have better sponsorship deals, better taxation (not for long) and they're, as hard as it is, a more popular brand than Milan.
But I agree in general...40 million is not worth it.

KieBling would be a striker that I would love to get if Dzeko is not available. He wont' come for cheap though, were looking at probably 20+

By jersey sales, I meant brand value. More brand value and recognition..more people buy your junk. I'm never wrong. Shaddup! Muenster Carnival sucks!! You're a bad drunk! You're a silly blonde!

I think we could get him for less. Maybe 15 million. He's not as popular as Dzeko and that decreases his price significantly.

Why don't you say what you mean next time?
You obvsiously haven't been at Carnival in Germany

Kießling, well, I would not spend 20+ for him... 15m, well, that is an option... but I feel like Dzeko is a much better option...

When/if signing our new CF. Who should leave then? Borriello, also a target man, or, Huntelaar, a poacher? I don't know. We play with a target man, so you need backup for it, but also a poacher is needed during (some) games... anyone any thoughts?

Karneval... Köln...

So the rest of it is true then.

I say we keep all tree of them, Pippo is not a certainty anymore, there haven't even been any talks regarding a contract renewal.

Pato, new CF, Boriello and Huntelaar

Seems like a great attacking lineup to me. I don't understand why everyone seems to think that we can't have good players on the bench for backup, a couple of injuries and we're done for. Remember the times when we had Thomasson, Rui, Crespo/Pippo on the bench?

Yup. Both Tomasson and Rui left coz they couldn't play enough. That's the trouble with having too much quality on the bench.

Would vertainly be great to have that depth again. But then, it'd be great to have a striker with Shevas qualities again at first. Maybe Dzeko is that man. I dunno, I'm still sceptic

Glad you agree


My favorite striker in the Bundesliga is still Gomez, though signing him is not an option.
Cologne is a mad place at Carnival...worse than any psychiatry. It's a bit more civilized in Westphalia. In which part of the Netherlands are you living btw?

They still stayed for a substantial amount of time while on the bench, Rui also left because he wanted to return to Benfica.

Other big clubs have top class players on the bench, look at Inter for example, they have a massive squad, not just a first 11 team, that's why they still manage to win when they practically have an entire team suspended or injured.

We need quality on the bench, if not we'll be coming in second best in Italy for a long time to come, we simply cannot compete in a competition like Serie A were consistancy is the key to success when we only have 11 top quality players (not even that since we seriously lack in the FB debartment) and the others not good enough to come in when we have injuries or suspensions


I don't see Dzeko as being similar to Sheva, atleast from what I've seen of him, Sheva was all about the movement in and out of the box, top class finishing from anywhere in and around the box, Sheva could play as an attacking mid if it came down to it, that's how skillful he was. I don't really see that in Dzeko

With Ronie and Pato i can bet with all of u 25 - 30 goal per season of Edin Dzeko...

I meant his importance as regular scorer for us, not his style to play. We need someone who can guarantee us around 20 goals a season.

The bet is on. I say he won't score 25 or more. What's at stake?

I say we keep all tree of them, Pippo is not a certainty anymore, there haven't even been any talks regarding a contract renewal.

I like Gomaz and Dzeko but Dzeko might be the man to guarantee ous around 30 goals

We definitely have to improve our defense, a new CB and RB at least.

Any ideas on RB?

I like Michel Bastos. Which side does he play on?
