From reports it appears the demand for 3 and a half years on his contract was more the sticking point.

Not sure given a 32 year old whos scored 3 goals since September a 3 and a half year contract is a great idea myself. Dzeko looks like his legs are shot in the 4 or 5 games ive seen him play lately.
Which ever dinosaur we got was only for Conte until he goes. Giroud for a season and a half seems a better idea.

Never understood why people get so caught up in things like wages and contract lengths when it comes to these transactions.
It's Chelsea, not Central Coast. Surely at the very top level you just go for the better player. These clubs can all afford the investment. Dzeko not staying for three and a half years isn't going to send the club to the wall.

Even in the extremely unlikely event that that happens, Chelsea could just pay him out or keep him on the books until his contract expires, buy someone else and the circle of footballing life would continue.
It's not like they are some lower league battler having to count every penny. Or like in the AFL or salary-capped competitions where bad contracts genuinely can and do have consequences upon clubs' performances.
Why supporters of Premier League clubs, particularly the big ones, worry over things like wages and contracts is beyond me.

Markovic isn't even that bad.
he's just expensive.

Dzeko wouldn't hang around if he wasn't getting a game imo. Would be able to offload him pretty easy after a couple of years.
They're different types of forwards though, hard to compare.

Giroud is the ideal impact sub. Really don't understand Arsenal letting him go.
Because he wasn't going to get the game time he needed heading into a World Cup. It's not a hard concept to grasp.

Which is funny because by making the move to West London he’s resigned his national competitor to more bench time. Not good for France.
Yeah that's fair enough.

Surely Conte's future doesn't depend on them going through to the quarter finals of CL? Seems a ridiculous article. And LVG of all people.
Ancelotti got sacked for exactly that reason.
