I suppose these are the type of players who you would realistically be able to get through the door in January if you are just after a short term fix, money no object.

Collage Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Dzeko has played 17 games for Inter this season and scored 8 goals. They don’t want to sell him mid-season and why would he want to leave? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at their accounts Everton will be hamstrung by FFP for a while yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf the Dzeko rumours might be total BS so not worth really arguing the toss until we know more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafalove Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Dzeko would be the perfect choice imo. 35 so wouldn’t cost the earth but still playing at a high level. Might be looking for a big pay day at his age but aslong as he comes with the right mentality it shouldn’t be a problem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Whenever I've seen Dzeko this season, he looks like he's running through treacle. He's perfect for Serie A, but would struggle in the type of side I think Howe wants to put together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjohnson Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 It's not exactly the statement of intent we were all hoping for though is it? Yes he may well be better than what we have (not difficult), but it doesn't indicate that there are plans for massive investment in the playing squad Plus, I thought it was a given that the '6' had agreed to refuse to deal with us. Hope it's not true as all PIF/Stavely/Rueben choices so far stink of pulling the pissed ugly munter at the end of the night 'cos it's all they can get rather than putting in effort to get who they actually want Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't quick enough for this league when he was last here, and he's only got slower. Mitrovic would be a better signing at present. That does not mean i think he would be a good signing or someone we should look at Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In isolation its impossible to tell if its a statement if intent or not, but he would be a useful addition.
