Fucking bargain, success despite the fact it could have been so much better.

Wouldn't disagree with this

That's the same as saying United letting Rooney go for £10m would be a good deal because then he's only cost them 1.7 a season. Completely missing the point of the market value of a player like dzeko, a proven goalscorer in more than one league, goals critical to champions in 2 countries, rarely injured, etc etc.
It's also questionable how much of the £14m we will see given he had 4 years left on his contract.

But then factor in that he was a player the club were clearly happy to let go and the player himself didn't appear to be too disappointed. He is 29 and his value isn't going to rise over the next year or so and there didn't appear to be a queue trying to sign him. Scored six last year and was starting to get niggling injuries. Couple of young prospects who in a year of so would've overtaken him in pecking order. Add these together and for me it's good business

I agree to an extent with all your points, but the big question is why the fuck we gave him a 5 year deal in the middle of the season just gone if we wanted rid. Even with jusy a year left on his contract we would have still got £14m, so are Pellegrini & co just making this squad up as they go along, or is there a strategy?
I fear that the pattern we have seen for some time is of ill considered knee jerk reactions in our transfer strategies, and I see little changing on the summer's evidence.
