Working again with Pellegrini would be a very good reason, but still not enough for what he's got going for him at Roma, especially now Tottis retired. I wouldn't waste too much time thinking about Dzeko coming here to be honest, turn our attentions elsewhere. He's not going to be the answer for us.

PS: By the way, Angelo Henriquez (Ex ManU and Wigan) is a far more better striker, IMO... who never got really an oportunity to prove his value in Europe/England.... and hes younger than Nicolas Castillo... :eh:

Lots of chatter that we’ve bid £20m for Dzeko. Now there is no doubt the big Bosnian is a world class striker, but £20m seems very steep for someone who is out of contract in 5 months and is 33in 6 weeks. More importantly we need the Arnie money to be spent on a top young striker like Gomez or one entering thsir prime like Bellotti.

20 million for a 33 year old striker seems bonkers. But I think Pelli thinks we can finish 7th.

I think that is what it would take for Roma to sell.

Couldn't see anything to write home about in Gomez tonight when I saw a chunk of the Celta Valencia game.

I'd rather we went for Batman or Diego Costa. I also think we'd have enough change left over to do something about the absence of dynamism and energy at either full back or central midfield.

Everton have supposedly bid €30m.

We would get him for £30m or so, I reckon - and have spare change to either buy a decent full back or sell Obiang/Perez and get a £20m-£25m midfielder.

No way will we finish 7th. Still too inconsistent. More like 12th/13th I would reckon, especially with further disruption to come.

Silva said again today no money to buy.

I would full backs until the summer, I want to see Fredericks in action. The midfielder...we need one just don’t know who.

I’d be surprised if we finished as low as 13th.

We need to get Arnie’s replacement right though. I do like most of the names we’ve been linked with.

Ideally there are another couple of positions we could strengthen but I don’t think we’ve got enough squad places with so many out injured.

If Arnie doesn't get a move in the next 10 days we are screwed. Mourinho famously said he had the brain of a child. He was right. I understand the Chinese deal was weak in any case. Now its collapsed.
Absolutely gutted. This is history repeating. I would rather send him home for the remainder if his contract. Obviously this wont happen for financial reasons.

Just looked at you-tube and Gomez looks chunky and too slow for the PL (even at 22). But then Dean Ashton wasn't exactly quick but still a great goalscorer. Maybe its a red herring to deflect attention from Pel's real targets.

My god Piatek (pronounced Piotek, I'm reliably informed by half my footy team who are all Genoa supporters) would be a dream but you're right, that ship has sailed.

There was a great piece in the Gazzetta recently about how insanely good the Genovese (so Genoa and Sampdoria) scouting is. They've unearthed some absolute gems over the years.
