I still maintain that Dzeko will come to us for cheaper than expected. Think about it logically, there are only so many clubs that are willing/able to pay 40mil and need a new striker, and for those few clubs there are some better options. Plus after the WC, there will be some players who show up on these clubs radar, but will have increased prices based on their performances.
Realistically, I don't think anyone besides maybe Bayern and Juve are still remotely close to Dzeko, but who knows what Del Neri wants, Bayern kinda need to get rid of Robben, Ribery, and Olic so if they do that they would be our only competition and they'd beat us for him easily, but they are looking other places as well, so who knows.
We're not out of it yet, unless we have decided that we won't pay for him.
