They've been reluctant to give him a new contract though, mainly because he's Calderon's purchase. It's a stupid reason but I wouldn't put it past Madrid to do something that stupid though. Though a few weeks back it seemed that they finally changed their mind about it though. I can't see Benzema being sold tbh, not after just one season.
Edin Dzeko
- Thread starter Raoul
- Start date

Fergie must not be after him, surely his relationship with McClaren would give him a chance with Dzeko if he was!
Wolfsburger Nachrichten claim he is in Madrid.
BTW, there is no chance for a swap deal involving Berbatov because the latter wouldn't move to Wolfsburg.

Hmm...so the rumours that they get Arnautovic as a replacement for Dzeko might be true as well.
Would be a good move for him.
This was my idea. I proposed this earlier in this thead as well as in a transfer thread in the Newbies earlier this month. Good to know that some of the rags monitor the CAF.
Why are Real Madrid after Dzeko? WTF? He would be an absolute idiot to go there..
If one of Raul, Benzema or Higuain is off, then it'd make perfect sense.
I doubt its true. Too many strikers on the books even if Raul leaves. It still wouldn't guarantee Dzeko consistent playing time with Benzema and Higuain already there. If he moved to Milan, he would have a better chance of being the main man there.
They still have too many strikers if Raul leaves. It's a dumb move to go there with the talent they already have unless you like sitting on the bench.
I am not so sure about that.. I would think if one of those 3 left they would be in for a better player.. Don't get me wrong Dzeko is a very good player but he is hardly world class.. I think Jose will be looking at players that are more established..
Although I just wonder about the credibility of this transfer as Jose has not signed for Real yet.. So is this another Perez signing? If it is not what Jose wants I doubt this is true..
It seems that it may well be true because apparently it's being reported that he's already in Madrid for talks, they might usually link a player to a team but they very rarely go out and say that he's in the country having negotiations.
There have been many stories of Higuain to City, Perez reported doesn't want him there, as he's a purchase of the old regime. They were offering Higuain a joke of a new contract just recently as well. Perez knows that if he were to sell Higuain to a team like city, he could bring in a hell of a lot of money (as they did with Robinho). If Raul and Higuain do end up leaving. I could see them going after Dzeko tbh.
You could also have a scenario where by Raul leaves and Benzema is loaned out for the season, again this would mean there was space for a new striker.
I'm sure Perez and Mourinho have been in contact for much longer than they've declared. I'm sure that this signing will only be made if Mourinho has given his approval. Dzeko fits the profile of the type of striker Mourinho likes, big, strong, can hold the ball up, great in the air, a good finisher, just like Drogba. As I've mentioned in my previous post, I could see a number of situations that will make the Dzeko deal make sense.
Its not outside the realm of possibility but it would be a strange move for both player and club, as Madrid have more than enough strikers already on the books - PLUS - the fact that Mourinho may want the ability to choose a few of the players who are coming in should he move to Madrid. The other point is that I don't buy the stereotype that Perez is going to sell every player who was brought in by the previous President.
I do see stylistic similarties between Milito and Dzeko, but its a massive leap of faith to suggest thats whats happening.
It'd be a bold transfer but Real are quite bold in the transfer market anyway. I just want to see who's going to be shipped out of Madrid to fund for the transfers. Perez made it clear that they won't be borrowing anymore for transfers. There's going to be quite a few leaving this summer I'd have thought.
M.Diarra, VDV, One of the strikers, Drenthe, Gago (certain to be city bound, as both clubs agreed a few just as the last window closed but there wasn't enough time for the move to go through).
Depends on the incoming manager. If its Mourinho, I would be that he would want full control over the transfers.
Sources in the press also say he is going to Liverpool and United.
My source says he is going to sign for 6 different clubs, and paly for a different one each week, depending on how good the weather is at the time.
Well this is just typical.
Finally a goalscoring physical striker who would be perfect for us,and is available and along comes the Spanish Mafia to pinch him. I partly lay blame with Mick Phelan and his big mouth prior to our champions leage 2nd meeting . I also feel the player will be wasted there like many others.

Does anyone have proof that he's in Madrid ?
He's said several times that he "will/would be in total control" and according to several journos last week had agreed to sign for Madrid on condition of control over transfers, with his priority being Maicon and at least one top CB - smart man that he is I think he's happy with their attacking prospects. So Dzeko to Madrid... maybe but only if at least a couple are on their way out (Raul and Benzema?). To me it's far more likely that he'll focus on their defence.
Benzema is simply not better than Dzeko. i don't care about the pace, Benzema's pace is as useful to me as Berbatov's touch when neither of them can score in a brothel.
Its all speculation, although it would certainly be a vote of no confidence in Benzema if Dzeko came in. Dzeko is simply a more complete player.
You see Dzeko as an energetic hard worker that will constantly work the defence, but sometimes miss good chances?To me he's the opposite. Create for Dzeko and he'll take his chances with his head or even from hard angles and techniques with his feet, but he's not a worker like Milito or Tevez.
Milito is certainly a more clinical striker than Dzeko.

Milito and Dzeko are very different.
Are you happy using the analogy of a brothel regarding Berbasex. As far as females are concerned Berbasex can score any place, any time, anywhere.
I think he'd be too lazy to get it up
He's not interested in sex, as that requires far too much effort. That fact that he could if he felt like it is enough pleasure for our Dimitar. And smoking of course covers the rest.
please let it happen.
benzema to us then
benzema to us then
feck Benzema - he never wanted to come here anyway and even if he got his game together again, here, he'd be off to Spain or wherever as soon as.
Dzeko, I reckon is more suited to the rigours of the PL.
We'll get neither, though.

24sata.info - Svi zadovoljni: Manchester United "dao" Berbatova i 33 miliona eura za Edina Džeku!
I have no idea whether this B/H website is at all reliable. But the muppets can get their cocks out.
that is a tasty offer if its true. Dont think they could turn that down. However i dont believe it to be true.
Just regurgitated bollox from caughtoffside.com I would guess.
Berbatov is here to stay.
Read that again and weep.

33m plus Berbatov. Yeah right.
Even Berbahaters have to admit that is a terrible deal.

Dzeko seems to be underrated, reading some of the comments on here.
He's strong, good in the air, a cool finisher, can hold the ball extremely well & his movement in the box is top-notch; basically the best striker in the Bundesliga.
Whether he can make the step from Wolfsburg to Madrid is to be seen, he sure as hell has the potential though.

Higuan will be going. Benzema is there to stay people.
I think some of that money was to bribe them to take Berba off our hands?
