By 1970's Gooner
It seems that Arsene Wenger is going to carry out the promise he gave at the shareholders meeting that he will go into the transfer market to strengthen the team.
But this latest news about an interest in Bosnian hit man Dzeko seems to be an attempt to maintain the team’s strength rather than add to it.
As the bid appears to be serious (according to Dzeko’s agent, Irfan Redžepagić) one conclusion that can be drawn is that Adabayor looks like a goner to pastures new.
He is a player who, like some other outward Wenger transfers, should have walked at least a year before. Let’s just hope that Arsenal get the same money for him that were offered then (25m).
According to the agent, Dzeko will have to consider Arsenal’s interest seriously much more than Manchester city’s!
“It is not realistic for Dzeko who is a leading player in Germany and due to perform in the Champions League to opt for an average club like Manchester City. Arsenal is the other case. We will discuss their offer seriously” Redžepagić said while in Germany.
So there you have it. Wenger’s interest is genuine and according to other reports it is Boro Primorac who has been running the rule over Dzeko over the last year.
Boro remember is also a Bosnian and would be ideal during this stage of the “process” and of course in the negotiations that might follow.
One must not forget, however, that there is a long way to go on this transfer yet as the player is currently having talks with his team, German champions Wolfsburg, about extending his contract.
“I will talk over the weekend with Edin and we will see what is best for him. On Monday it is back to the negotiations with Wolfsburg” said Redžepagić.
Dzeko has, what I would call, a goal scorer's record in Germany of averaging a goal every other game. He scored 26 goals in 32 appearances as Wolfsburg beat off late competition from Bayern Munich to seal the first German national title in the club's history.
He has kept that average during his time with Wolfsburg scoring 34 goals in 60 appearances while his record with the Bosnian national team is better, 12 goals in 17appearances.
He is 23 years old and stands 6ft 3 ½ in tall (1.92m). Adebayor surprise, surprise is exactly the same height! Robin van Persie is slightly shorter at 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m).

i have been watching a lot of wolfburg this season and his goals scored(some were screamers, some were fantastic headers, even scrappy second ball) and link up play were awesome. please let this be true!!!
i hope to see him wear our read and white soon!
Any source for the quotes?
Just to see how likely they are to be genuine.
Nice article, with good quotes.
I amn't getting too excited. The negotiations with his current club make me worry he is using Arsenal's interest as bait!
Would love to see him come in though, seems to have everything in his locker
i've seen him play many times. his finishing actually better than eduardo. unlike eduardo who rely on his composure, dzeko is more similar with inzaghi. he just born to score goals. he can score every types of goal. long shot, poacher, header, placing, just name it. if adebayor gone, arsenal will not missed him.
Great article! Just fix up the headline if you wouldn't mind?
The real problem is Dzeko's partnership with Misimovic (his countrymen), who is also assistant for more than 3/4 of his goals. So I guess future of Dzeko in Wolfsburg depend also will Misimovic stay there.
But he really have what Arsenal missing last few years, he is wiling to score, and he dont care what kind of goal it is..
The player's agent is reportedly
a Mr Alen Augustincic...so we should be very cautious about this article - it may be entirely ficticious.
This guy has the height, physique, good off the ball movement, poacher instincts, absolutely dangerous in the aerially. Wenger GET DZEKO AND LORIK CANA IN AND ADEBYE OUT!!!!
funny that there are offers on the table whilst he renegotiates his contract with wolfsburg heh - handy bargaing tool for his agent dont you think?
BUY HIM NOW!!!
Break the club record, the bank, break whatever you have to, to sign him and get rid of that so-called striker Ade-useless-bayor ASAP.
Nik.
yeh i the player and his agent just maybe using Arsenal for a improved contract.I hear Lyon have dropped the price tag on Benzema he could be an option.
Sounds more like an Arsenal fan has made these comments ??? If Dzeko is serious about joining a top quality club who will employ the worlds very best players during the next couple of years then Manchester City will be his choice. Apart from Arsenal qualifying for CL football the past few seasons they have done nothing to shout about - if there is “an average club” here it is surely them. Arsenal are the weakest of the so-called top 4 and Man City will be replacing them in the very near future (they know that). If Dzeko wants to win trophies; City will win more over the next five years than Arsenal have over the past twenty (they’re going nowhere)!!
Given how poor Ade has been this season and how low everyone rates him (and for that matter Bendtner), then surely buying a top class target man with an excellent scoring record who can score scrappy goals, headed goals, creative goals and who holds and distributes the ball better and can stay onside is surely an improvement to the squad?? If we can nail this transfer then we're two players (DM and CB) away from competing for the EPL and CL next year. This guy will become a club legend if he comes...
Not you wikedwilly! The man before your comment. LOL
A CLUB IS BIG NOT ONLY WITH TROPHIES BUT ALSO HISTORY AND FANBASE.THEREFORE THESE MICKEYMOUSE CLUBS LIKE CHELSEA AND MANC WILL NEVER COME CLOSE TO ARSENAL.AS ARSENAL WERE THE FIRST GIANTS OF ENGLISH FOOTBALL IN 1930S IF IT WAS NOT FOR WORLD WARS AND LEAGUE STOPPAGE ARSENAL TODAY WOULD SURELY HAD TWICE THE TITLES ALONG WITH OTHER CUPS.TALKING ABOUT FANBASE ARSENAL HAVE BIGGEST FANBASE IN ONE OF THE BIGGEST CITY OF WORLD.ARSENAL ALSO HAVE BIGGEST GLOBAL FANBASE IN WORLD EVEN MORE THAN REAL AND BARCA IN ASIA , ON PAR WITH MANU AND LIVERPOOL.IN INDIA THEY R MOST SUPPORTED ALONG WITH MANU.SO THOSE JEALOUS PEOPLE LIKE SOME OF THEM HERE THINK SMALL CLUBS LIKE MANC AND CHELSEA WILL BECOME BIGGER THAN ARSENAL IN 5 YRS REQUIRE DOCTOR.IT WILL NEED ATLEAST 60 70 YRS FOR THEM TO WIN AND ARSENAL TO WIN NOTHING TO COME CLOSE TO ARSENAL IN TERMS OF HISTORY AND FANBASE.AND ITS NOT ONLY DZEKO EVEN KAKA SAID HE WILL LIKE TO JOIN ONLY MANU AND ARSENAL IN EPL ONLY IF ARSENAL WANTS TO.
not really related but wouln't it be cool to get a live sopcast stream from arsenal's colney training ground so we could see how rosicky's doing in training for instance! or am i being a bit sad and suffering from withdrawl symptoms.
hopefully walcott will tear k-stan to shreds later
Would prefer Ade. But if Ade goes then he would be a pretty good replacement
Dzeko is fantastic player. I really hope that Wenger will sign him!
I don't like to admit it, but I reckon the City fan is right. They will be a top 4 club next 2 years and it will be us they replace. City have a lot of money and money talks.
I think we are in a better financial position than some of the top 4 and it will not be us who will be replaced by Man City.
Money talks does it...mmm didn't do much for Liverpool did it. exactly how many trophies have they won in the last 3 years - none aren't they broke or something? Arsenal have been criticised for not having a british core - this is clearly being addressed because to buy a british player already mature is overpriced. what with the stadium and everything - cash isn't as readily available.
Dzeko would be a decent replacement for Ade. The scoring of goals is not the real issue it's the lack of defensive cover and I mean that from the midfield and through the back four.
Citeh take over Arsenal (must be a joke) - I wonder do you think Everton or Villa and even spurs dare i say it will have something to say about that
chelsea turned up a few years ago and citeh have a bit of a fight on their hands to land the true cream of the crop. Players will favour man u and liverpool over citeh everytime. robinho is prob regreting the move.
he has only been fantastic this year so dont think he's that great.i mean i rarely watched bundesliga and ive never watched wolfsburg. but lookin at the statistic, he might have proved his goal scoring ability, but he hasnt proved his consistency in some years.so not sure whether he's gonna be that good or even better, or he will be worse..
Anyone heard about Richards (city) swap for Toure ?
No Im Sorry I Do Not Think That City Will Ever Be as good as the arsenal and honestly i am not being biased toward my team money is not everything mark hughes is proving to be an absolutely awful manager making bad decisions and look at real madrid were brilliant for a few years and wha are they now ?

This might help resolve the 'whose the big club based on history' discussion. City and Chelsea are 14th and 15th, interestingly right next to one another.
I have some time for Citeh. And now Wenger has a fight on his hands with three super rich clubs and one that willingly goes deep into debt as Liverpool does. What it means is that the whole club has to find the mental strength and willingness to fight harder on the field than billionaires like Robinho and be more consistent against weaker clubs. It's the same old story and AW knows it very very well. Our fan base has a huge role to play in this and hopefully the fair weather fans will grow up or go away and the vast majority can get behind the players throughout the season. AW can help us by weeding out the lackidasical types rather than humor them. Perhaps with a stronger squad we will be able to do this. But the real challenge is going to be that we supporters need to find our voice and determination as well.
http://arseweb.com/99-00/century.html#overall
unfortunately History is 'past' tense. If you had to put money on who will be the most successful over the next 10 years Arsenal won't come any where near Man City. Times are changing and it looks as though City's day has finally arrived.
As for success on the field - Chelsea showed how a billionaire should play it - getting a hard ass manager like Mourinho to keep the egos in check (even if it meant replacing a perfectly good manager like Ranieri). 2. the players have to be the right ones to fit into a devastating system with 11 players (I hate chelsea so never followed them close enough to break this one down tactically). 3. Get the absolute biggest bad asses and mentally tough players for the spine of the team - Essien, Drogba, Cech, Terry and Carvalho (not a huge badass), Lampard is also very much a big game player although two dimensional. 4. Win the psychological battles with the media and referees and the opposition.
This will lead to trophies but never a clean sweep. Citeh don't look to be following the same model. It's as though Chelsea started out with Arjen Robben (Robinho) and Duff (Elano). Not Spinal players at all, and they are going for an Inzaghi type player up front? It will be a few years before Citeh can take many points off the big four AND stay strong the whole season against, well, Stoke for instance. By then Arsenal will be very, very strong, too.
But every once in a while a currently top club won't make the top four, which is good. What is bad is that the middle clubs have even a lesser chance of getting a cup trophy. The league needs a salary cap more than ever.
Even in today's world history matters, perhaps not much, but perhaps enough. Intangibles like self-respect, big-game confidence, emerge from one's sense of place in the world and money alone won't go as far as money (arsenal are hardly broke) and history, and having a great manager, and great facilities and a tradition of winning things. I read in a brazilian airline inflight magazine that Citeh's facilities were 'modest' and less impressive than at least five of Brazil's biggest clubs. Arsenal's youth team fairly wiped the floor with Citeh's. I can see the two clubs being competitive with one another but I really can't see Citeh blowing away all comers. That's your fantasy. Possible, but unlikely.
Clubs who want salary caps are those who fear being left behind !
The essence of sport is competition.
City's youth academy is second to none (fact).
Perhaps city having the best youth system and not winning the league nor the youth cup proves the point that intangibles matter. Perhaps the Arsenal lads - led by a manager who has won the league before (history, to spell it out for you), and surrounded by memories of recent trophy winners like Vieira, Adams, Henri, Bergkamp, etc (Memories = History) were inspired to roundly crush the best youth team in the nation (perhaps Europe?) I'd be a bit concerned if I were you because winning is a habit, as is losing.
Arsenal have benefitted from CL 'Monopoly' money for years which has assisted them financially and given them an unfair advantage to attract Europes best talent. Let's see how Arsenal do when they have not played in CL for 3 or 4 years - then you may understand what I'm talking about.
Most of us know exactly what you are talking about. We might not know your frustration and have the chip on our shoulder about it. But we are capable of seeing the point.
The debate, however, is whether Arsenal will actually fall out of the champion's league places. Arsenal fans are concerned about a number of things with regard to their club. But I for one am just not as concerned about Citeh as you'd like me to be.
some idiots here think small crap clubs like manc will b more successful than arsenal over next 10 yrs, 3 reasons this will not happen 1> who takes gurantee those arab lords will b there for whole time and they r vulnerable to mood swings.
2> if arsenal also begin to invest 99% players will come to arsenal not city 1% consist of dumbheads like robinho.
3> i believe any club would slip from top 4 is liverpool though they have managed 2nd pos this time but they r weakest as they have no core of quality players, huge debt and no stadium to cultivate on.
and anyway which world class i mean the one of top cream will even want to go to crap like manc so only leftovers like old homage guest like gareth barry will come to full their bank balances.i really have sympathy for villa fans he cheated on them
The big difference between City's youth coming through the ranks and Arsenal's - City produce British talent !
Anyway, I did call for a salary cap in a previous post.
Anon @ 4:47pm. You are out of your depth in this debate.
IN INDIA PEOPLE FANS WORSHIP ARSENAL AND I HAVE TO ADMIT MANCHESTER UNITED ALSO .IN AFRICA PEOPLE GIVE THEIR LIVES FOR ARSENAL(THOUGH NOT A GOOD THING), WILL CITY EVER IN THEIR WILDEST DREAM GET THAT SORT OF FANBASE NEVER EVERRRR BECAUSE SUCH THINGS COME FROM TRADITION HISTORY AND THESE WORDS ARE NON-EXISTENT IN BOOKS OF CLUBS LIKE MANC AND CHELSEA.AND WHY PEOPLE THINK MANC SUCCESS IS CONFIRMED BCOZ EVEN WITH 100 AND MORE MILLION POUNDS THEY R NOT ABLE TO ATTRACT PLAYERS AND NOWDAYS EVERY CLUB IS FLEXING THEIR RESOURCES SO PLAYERS WILL OPT FOR OTHER CLUBS EVEN VILLA OR EVERTON RATHER MANC.
OH ARSENAL WE LUV ARSENAL WE LUV ARSENAL WE LUV U OH ARSENAL WE LUV U WE DO FOR EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
OH ARSENAL WE LUV ARSENAL WE LUV ARSENAL WE LUV U OH ARSENAL WE LUV U WE DO FOR EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
I've seen him a bit this season and he looks the business. His link up play and shots are pretty excellent but what I love about this guy, and what I think this club is missing, is that he's a player who has scored and is capable of scoring half chances. He's just a finisher pure and simple.
It would make sense this signings cause we could afford him and we're probably lining him up as Adebayors replacement before we let him go.
THe club has been very quite for a while now and it'd be great if we were working on a couple of deals early. Even though Sky Sports say Wenger is in China so hopefully Gazidas is out there making us proud
what's with all these city fans coming out of the woodwork giving it the large like we are supposed to be intimidated by them? feels like the footballing equivalent of short person syndrome to me, small club syndrome.
stop acting like spurs fans for crying out loud, most of your fans are better than that. don't let the money get to your heads.
when you have a decent manager and a decent team, then your points might have some merit. however, at the moment you have neither, so i'd pipe it down if i were you.
all this 'what we are going to do' crap splurting out of your mouths is hysterical.
one things for sure, you will always be in manchester united's shadow, bit like how spurs will always be in ours. lol
