Edin Dzeko

So it's not really as close to a done deal as Di Marzio made out, huh.

[Special Juan 28,100]

Di Marzio just tweeted an update saying talks on going this morning and Dzeko agent could fly to London today/tomorrow to sort the deal.

The deal is very close 

[Special Juan 28,100]

Right now there is absolute no reason that Dzeko, if he signs, can actually become the number 1 striker. Morata is really poor right now, and to be honest if your Dzeko and have slight doubts about playing time this is a great situation to be in, because Morata can easily be shoved off his perch and it wouldn't take much.

Well, depends.   Simon Johnson in the Standard never really 'breaks' news, per se. He tends to publish articles on news we already know about from other sources.  I personally wouldn't take Simon's articles as reliable... i'd still wait for a better source

if we sign the Dzeko who played at the Bridge in CL, Morata is on the bench.  Even at City Dzeko was good, IMO they shouldnt have sold him.

 

I'd love us to play both though, 2 uptop

[Pizy 18,856]

Come on. Get him in before our next PL game.

[El P. 1,354]

He wants guarantee for regular playing time? Show him Moratas' highlights from last 3 games...

Dzeko is not better than Morata. For all of Morata's faults this season, he is comfortably the better striker of the two. He works tirelessly, is better on the ball and is on par with Dzeko in the air, Dzeko has the edge in hold-up play and finishing and is a fantastic option to bring on to change games but first choice? No, it's a wrong move.
