50 Mil for Dzeko?!

Hahahahaha...Mclaren can go fuck himself

50 million my left bollock.

I reckon he is a shoe in for us,but nowhere near fucking 50 millions.

Can someone explain why, if we want Dzeko we didn't just buy him before he release clause expired?

If we're spending £30m on a striker I'd prefer Aguerro

LANDYCAKES!?!?! AT CITY!?!?! oh you lot would hate that ... there'd be so many americans here on this board, people who hate donovan and who love him alike.

Silva signs for City.
