City in ADVANCED talks with Dzeko [merged]

[zuricity]

Is Dzeko any good? I have never seen him play.

I'd wager hardly anyone on here aside from those with a genuine knowledge and interest in German football has a clue. I'll admit I know very little about him except that he has a good scoring record and is a big bastard. Cue, "has a great touch for a big man" comments week after week, meaning he couldnt trap a bag of sand.

I've been happy with most of the signings the club have made recently, and if it is felt that he is an upgrade on Adebayor & RSC then i'm happy to trust the club's judgement

I don't think Dzeko will be looked on by commentators as a typical 'big man' as his touch is excellent. He's a very good footballer on the deck & can score with both feet.

Yeah in comparison to Rooney who only scores these days when he uses his wallet !

Neither have I but when Uwe was asked a few weeks ago who he would sign for City he didn't say Messi or Kaka, he said Dzeko!

I'm willing to trust his judgement.

Cheers, KK, John and TH.

After what you have said I am looking forward to seeing this lad play, should we sign him.

Guys - IMO - this is the most natural PL striker out there - just imagine Torres at his best but this lad has a better left foot and is much better in the air - he is that good

Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko will travel with the rest of the squad to their winter training camp in Spain, the German Bundesliga club have announced.

Dzeko has been the subject of intense speculation over the past few days as ambitious Premier League side Manchester City.are said to be keen on landing him at Eastlands this month and have lined up a bid as well.

However, the 24-year-old is part of the German club's squad for now and agreement among the three parties have yet to be reached, as Wolfsburg's spokesperson told DPA, "As it stands, all players apart from the Japanese (Makoto) Hasebe are with the squad, including (Edin) Dzeko."

Dzeko had earlier said that he will remain with Wolfsburg until the end of the season and will then move to Italy.

mmmm. maybe not that close.

[Esky]

That's disappointing.

[Chopper]

The key phrase is "had earlier said"

He's ours boys Im quite sure of it.

No...they've got it from the Wolfsburg Paper

Wolfsburg counts on Dzeko in the training camp Large opinion Wolfsburg (DPA) - the possible transfer of of Wolfsburg gate hunter Edin Dzeko to Manchester town center does not go obviously in the express speed over the stage. The soccer federal league club wants to fly on Sunday with wooed the Stürmer first to the training camp to Spain. “After the present conditions Hasebe all players of the federal league cadre, thus also Dzeko” come along, communicated the VfL at the New Year's Day on request with the exception of the Japanese. In England it had been speculated that Dzeko could already accumulate on Wednesday in the Prime Minister League for Manchester town center against the FC arsenal. Town center is after media reports 35 million euros for the 24 years old Bosnier to offer. VfL manager Dieter Hoeneß, which was in the past days in the vacation, did not want to commentate the messages. Although the Dzeko change is not final, already over a possible replacement for the Stürmer in the team of of Wolfsburg coach Steve McCLaren one speculates. As candidates among other things Eljero Elia (HSV) and Bryan Ruiz (Twente Enschede) are considered. A return of ex national player Kevin Kuranyi into the federal league seems after an explanation of Kuranyis club direct current generator Moscow as improbable.

[brite blu sky]

So hes going to the training camp as planned, which suggests a deal isnt in place yet. Apart from that someone has added an age old quote from him to make up a pile of bollox story.

Ha ha, so there are no direct flights from Spain to Ringway then???? It's not like they are down there for a match, just a bit of sun. If anything, away from the press and fans.

Think you are right BBS, nothing to see here....
