You don't rate Dzeko at all and that's the part you're missing.

Dude is a Champion,

- scored over 50 league goals for Wolfsburg and won a Bundesligue
- scored over 50 league goals for City and won EPL
- scored over 50 league goals for Roma and won nothing

- scored over 50 goals for Bosnia and played World Cup


Now compare that to 6 goals/40 games of Alexis in last two years plus Pinamonti's 0 appearances/0 goals this season.


Dzeko is heavily underrated and Alexis will be 33 next season with pace like main attribute.

I wish we can make this permanent somehow.

Ibra is much older and even though he played 8 games he scored twice as many goals as Dzeko. So Dzeko doesn't seem to be the lethal over thirty year old striker we badly need.

Lukaku works well with Lautaro and Alexis because they work their asses off, they press opponent's defenders and they exploit the spaces Lukaku creates with his link up play. On the other hand, Dzeko is lazy and doesn't help in pressing. He can't play the role of seconda punta. A Lukaku-Dzeko partnership would be too static and it wouldn't work. Dzeko can only be a vice Lukaku.

He can play with Lukaku when we need more presence in the box. In a match against Udinese I think we could have used a player like Dzeko.

Lukaku - Dzeko would be same like Vieri - Hakan Sukur and that was frustrating to watch :D

There's a reason why this man has

This reasoning is also why I think Icardi would be the perfect partner for Lukaku, imagine Lautaro but scoring every chance he gets.

Icardi is not capable to do 20% things Lautaro can do outside the box.

Stop talking nonsense.

Something smells like the docks at low tide with this one. Isn't Roma also linked to Icardi from PSG on a loan?

Lautaro have good work rate, can actually dribble and pass defender one on one.


Icardi would do that once in 30 games and then we would talk how capable he is but coaches don’t utilize him properly while truth is that he’s a poacher who needs service from everyone to score. I would say Lukaku is twice a player he is.

I am very, very confused. How is sending Pinamonti to Roma anything but a massive favor, bordering on self-sabotage?

Sanchez earns 7 million, but because of the growth decree, we pay half = 3.5. His wages for the rest of the season would be half of that, 1.75.
Pinamonti earns 2.5. That's 1.25 for the rest of the season. 1.25 + 1.75 is 3 million.

Dzeko, meanwhile, earns 7.5 a year, with no growth decree.
That's 3.75 for the rest of the season No ifs, and or buts.

We save 3 million on wages, immediately offset by Dzeko's wages. Bottom line is we pay 0.75 million for Dzeko's services for 19 matches + Coppa, but lose two (!) attackers in the process, putting us at a numerical disadvantage.

Meanwhile, Roma, by doing this deal, are 0.75 million in the green on wages, plus they get two players!

Am I missing something, or is this outright stupidity? Roma are desperate to get rid, came to us with a proposal, and instead of standing firm and telling them to AT LEAST pay the wage difference, we're giftwrapping them two of our assets at a base loss.

I'm literally dumbfounded.

Sorry, might be the wrong thread to ask? What is the growth decree?

If Sanchez salary is 7.5 p/a then we pay 7.5......how can a company pay half of agreed contract?

And how is Dzeko getting 7, if anything I would be offering half, and that is being generous. He plays a second striker when Lukaku needs a rest. Dzeko isnt first team, he'll play every 3 to 4 games + appearances.

rotations with Dzeko should be the perisic's/sensi's/pinamonti's and eriksens of there enough options there, we're only playing for Serie A

Icardi had good work rate too. I've never seen a player press at every chance he got like Icardi did, el toro manages to also do this which is perfect for Lukaku. This has resulted in many goals scored by Icardi even against opponents like cunt juve, now El Toro has also managed to press high up and take the ball but failed to score.

Work rate wise I think you're not correct. Maybe your memory is playing games with you, no worries though since it seems to happen to many members on this forum including the moderators.

I think it has to do with the taxes.

Here's a detailed article about the growth decree.

https://www.dlapiper.com/en/italy/insights/publications/2019/07/new-tax-incentives-for-attracting-human-capital/

Regarding Sanchez, you're right we pay him 7.5 net wages. The difference is in the taxes we pay to the Italian government. While Dzeko costs to Roma around 13m Sanchez only costs around 9m as he's eligible for the growth decree.

Dzeko is earning 7.5m because the then Roma sporting director Gianluca Petrachi, a.k.a. Paratici bitch, gave Dzeko a raise from 4.5m to 7.5m in 2019 (on top of taking Spinazzola for 30n) in order to prevent Dzeko joing Inter.

I learn never to put my trust in 30 or over 30 year old players.

I swear my main motive was FIFA 21.

I have 12 yr old nephew and have to play him once a week. He hates Inter and Dzeko since Im torturing him and Barca for last couple years with those 2. To have it both in a same team would drove him crazy. :lol:

So many young raw talents from Italy and Argentina, even other nations, for a million or less dollars wish we would snatch them up and loan them.
