El P. 1,354 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I am happy because I consider Dzeko proven player. What he's done at City, Roma and in Germany is way more than what Morata did at Juve/Madrid/Chelsea. And yes, despite of his age, he was never actually fast, so can't see him declining much.Morata is still project in making and his development could go either way. Do I consider Dzeko better than Morata NOW? Yes, I do. But, Morata could easily get better. Could, don't know if he would.Also, Dzeko's arrival is a great thing for Morata, even if he ends up on the bench. There will be no presure on him, he could then focus, work in silence and take his chances to show his worth.Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Best scenario would probably be 2 1/2 years with an option to extend. In any case, this stupid policy is really a proof that the board is running like the club like a business. Why is age the main factor in whether we keep a player or not? If a player is still capable of contributing, we should be keeping him. If he's not, then sell him. Also this 30yo limit shouldn't be so inflexible (but flexibility seems to be a word Marina never heard of). There are players and players and while 30 is passed the peak age, in some positions such as goalkeeper and CB we have players doing a very good jobStrikers should also be questionable if the striker doesn't rely on pace rather than skills That said, I'm not a huge fan of Dzeko, but we need to reinforce the squad, so welcome, but this sacred rule of limiting contracts and even signings because of this as if the only reason to bring someone is reselling value needs to go away along with Marina stubbornness. We are a football Club, business here aren't the same as in an oil company and if they want to run us as such we'll become Arsenal at some point. In football money comes through players transactions, but mostly with titles and fans spending, as this also raises player's valuation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had 3-4 underwhelming games in a row questions would need to be asked, what's strange about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at City Dzeko was good, IMO they shouldnt have sold him. I'd love us to play both though, 2 uptop We have a way of making players, and teams, look good. When we’re in “can’t keep the ball mode”, as we were that night, the ball keeps coming at us. It comes at unexpected times, and from unexpected angles. This turns our game into a shambles which allows even ordinary opponents to perform at their best. I’m not saying Dzeko is an ordinary player. I’m just saying that it can be a mistake to give too much weight to performances against Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,952 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 So neither a confirmation nor a denial that he's off. Why do I get the feeling that this'll come down to the last moment of deadline day? It's what Chelsea do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
