Looks like Dzeko is off to Roma. Reports coming in that he's agreed terms
Good luck to him if it happens.
I wonder if that paves the way for a De Bruyne bid...
I imagine there'd be a bid in any case.
yeah, cant imagine they have to raise the cash by selling
farewell dzeko..a frustrating player to watch
Nope, but we need the squad space...
With Jovetic and Dzeko gone that's down to 15 out of 17 non-HG.
De Bruyne and Pogba?
Read today that the Pogba deal has been held up over the image rights for the player.
Wonder how much we lost on him ?

£14m fee
being reported anywhere from £14m or E20m to E23m (14m to 16m).
Damn the strong £!
Anyway, thanks for the highs Dzeko, some good times. But it is time for you to be Edin out the door 8)
No coat needed
He hated the super sub title and i fear that would have been his position this season so its thanks and bye Edin.
Legend. Sad to see him go but it was probably time. Frustrating but also a unappreciated player.
I was never convinced by him, though he did have some great moments for City. Felt he should have been gone a long time before now.
Went on strike last season refusing to play when brought on, so no respectful farewell will I give him.
Bye Dzeko
Not entirely sure about the wisdom of this. So - are Aguero and Bony going to be enough?
Do we now need another striker, or does this mean one of the youngsters (Kelechi?) is finally going to be eased in? Or perhaps the powers that be think more of our goals will come from midfield this season via Sterling?
Certainly sold too cheaply if the stated 14 million fee is accurate.
I am expecting one established striker to come in, plus Kelechi.
If we are going to play with one up front then we probably wont get another striker, its a big if.
A player who needed to play every game. The only thing he could do was score goals, but thats no bad thing. Lets remember the equaliser against QPR.
Lots of goals to remember. He was a key part of two title wins but, yes, he could also be very frustrating at times. We need another striker, an injury or two would see us short and our strikers are prone.
Good luck to Edin.
Problem was that he can't actually play football
Could be going a bit far that Swiss
Wolfsburg
Bundesliga: 2008â€"09
Manchester City
Premier League: 2011â€"12, 2013â€"14
FA Cup: 2010â€"11
Football League Cup: 2013â€"14
FA Community Shield: 2012
Not bad for someone that can't actually play football :o
pippo inzaghi couldnt either and he made a few quid
dzeko played more wide in germany, like ive said before over here if a player is over 6ft its assumed hes a targetman

unless your called yaya
yaya isnt a striker tho
The game he scored 4 at Spurs he shown he only needed/wanted one touch and it would be a goal.........He was like Goater not a footballer a goal scorer i will miss him but agree if were not going to play to his strength's he should leave.
Certainly do have fond memories
But the time is right
Weve been raped again..
Roma confirm: Dzeko joins on a 1-year loan for â,¬4m (£2.9m) with a conditional purchase clause set at â,¬11m (£7.9m).

Not doing a great job of ridding ourselves of those surplus to requirement are we.
I guess it's hard to drive a high price when you want shot of a player who doesn't play much and everyone knows it.
What we want is a nuveu riche club who wants to grow fast and spends like brewster!
Unfortunately PSG spunk their cash on Chelsea and rags players eh.
Watched Edin's five top goals on the OS before. Top man.

I like Bony but is he really worth 20 million more than Dzeko ? Dzeko is a 20 goal a season man if you play him
we shoulda kept him, he gave us another option
If bony keeps setting yaya up I don't mind that he doesn't score :-)
Deal of the year! But not surprising sigh. Bony has done fuck all, but worth the double? ;D Good old city!
Not the best deal money wise but we've had 5 decent seasons from him and it's better all round if he goes.
just scored a fantastic goal 4 mins into his debut.
He scored 2 and got an assist in a 6-4 win against Sevilla.
Wish I'd watched it!

thats what happens if you play him and give him some service
wonder what Pelle & tixi think ?
He had loads of service at City mate, don't be daft.
Quick update for anyone still missing Edin and who clearly has a broken memory.
Last 17 games, only one goal from open play (3 goals total in last 17 games).
Sounds familiar.
Heard he was booed from their fans in a few matches
What's left of them. Most of them are on strike I think!
Went to watch Ajax on Saturday, bloody awful.
