Wasn't it reported that Dzeko's agent cant get into the UK yet as he is waiting for his Visa?  Thats likely the biggest reason behind the hold up

If the question is "Didn't somebody report X?", the answer is almost certainly yes.

If you're looking for some hope, none of the journalists have come out to say Dzeko has rejected us...yet. Negotiations are probably still ongoing.

its not so much hoping we sign dzeko, its more hoping we get someone so we avoid Crouch and Ashley Barnes

 

 

Slight off topic, was just reading about deadline day in Italy, sounds absolutely bonkers.  Every DoF, chief exec etc go to one hotel and negotiate.  Walk up to each other it seems and try do deals.   What a clusterfuck, but i bet it is insane to watch

Thats the thing, 90% of Chelsea fans have accepted the idea of shelling out 30million plus for a soon to be 32 year old, just to avoid seeing Crouch or Rondon in Chelsea blue. Crazy how weak we are in the market these days under Roman.

I wonder how they are negotiating this. Is it like "I want 2 years" - "no, 1 year" - "no, 2 years" - "no, 1 year" - "2 years" - "1 year"... then someone will eventually say "take it or leave it" and all shit hits the fan and we panic buy somebody from the Carroll tier.

Probably end up being Carroll.. Just panic and think sod the injury surprise!

Have to agree. Marina is just pathetic at negotiating incoming transfers, needs replacing asap, Emenalo wasn't the problem.

Light years behind the Manc teams and others now in terms of being after a player, the calibre of players linked to the club, and negotiating deals. 

If City or United wanted Dzeko it would be done in two or three days. So much fucking about, either shit or get off the fucking pot.

We dont seem to have much of a pot to shit in nowadays lol

With us we get linked and that's it. Start talks... They go on.. Talks break down the end. Everyone else super quick. Wont be surprised if we end this window how we started it

Sold it.  Got a good deal on it.  Taken us ages to get a replacement in.

The Crouch and Barnes "rumours" were quite evident piss takes, i can't believe people actually fell for it.

[Special Juan 28,096]

Sounds like the hold up isn't terms or length of contract but the fact Roma are struggling for a replacement.
