Yep, which is why the goose has well and truly flown where Dzeko's concerned.
Strange how Wenger values players really, and he's shown that he can be a bit obsessive with his pursuit of certain players. He was after Reyes for a good two years before he got his man for alot more money than people realise in the end. If he really thinks a player will slot in with amazing effect, he will shock people and sometimes pay over the odds to what, say, we think the player is worth. He paid, some say, in excess of £15m for Arshavin and slightly less for Nasri, when I didnt think he'd go that high for either tbh. It's almost like he has his perfect little picture of exactly what he wants and will go slightly overboard if need be to complete the picture. He will flirt with players and clubs to see if there's a possible bargain to be had, naturally, but ultimately, if the player isn't in his 'picture' he'll readily bin the idea it seems...
