It kind of depends. I think he is the best realistic option out there. So basically when you are looking at the transfer fee, you would have to think whether you are ready to fork out that sort of money for him or settle for lesser player for lesser money. Concentrating on below 20m mark strikers we'd be looking at another Jo or Santa Cruz or someone like that.

Anyway, I think we are trying to negotiate that transfer fee.....if we were willing to pay that, he'd already be here.


i've never seen him play, but that's probably true for most of us on here if we're honest.

In Marwood we trust. If he's the one putting the names together we're hearing about i feel pretty good about things. But names on a list and getting a transaction done is, as you say, chalk and cheese, no?

cheers

I've seen him plenty of times thanks to beauty that is Eurosport 2. They show bundesleague all the time. In fact they almost solely show bundesleague which kind of makes me wonder sometimes why I bother with the subscribtion.

I don't trust Marwood at all but we'll see what happens. It's bizniz time Brian.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

i thought we were waiting til monday, when the clause kicks in???

I think it's the opposite away about mate, the clause in the contract expires on Monday, and I think that's why McLaren let it slip to drum up more interest.

And the 1st of the next thousand, Thanks Joey, Thanks Slim ;-)

Not sure which one mate, hence the statement. And no, just a message ;-)

The truth is, it's all bullshit rumour until they're officially unveiled, hence the Transfer Rumours Thread. I think once something becomes substantial, then you'll get the '............ Has Signed' thread.

exactly.
Regardless of what people heard something from a cabbie or Sky Sports understands, they are rumours until they are holding City shirt in official site.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

BILD reckon that the sheikh is paying the 40m € buyout clause for Dzeko. Deadline is in 10 minutes. If the payment is made in time, Wolfsburg is in no authority to prevent the transfer.

So if the Sheikh did pay in reality the only person who could scupper the deal would be Dzeko himself if he did not want join us?.

Well, I'd be surprised if Dzeko didn't want to come.
