Gomez and Tymoshchuk seem to be on the table for Dzeko, and now Juve supposedly quit going for him. IMO it might be fairly good for Wolfsburg since they are not so concerned with getting paid for Dzeko. Tymoshchuk as an anchor would really solidify the midfield, and make Misimovic even more dangerous.
Anyhow, as long as Van gaal has a say there will be no Van der wiel for Bayern, which I think is a good thing. He's highly overrated. Coentra would be nice, but if not that's not so bad. Contento is pretty solid. He's decent with his standing tackles and pretty quick in getting back in front of his man when he gets beat. And his positioning isn't so bad that couldn't be hidden with some help from the midfield.
I just think there's too much competition in Real's midfield and with all of that talent up top Khedira won't be making as many runs to improve the parts of his game that need the most work, his timing and comfort on the ball in the box. If he got those down and became a good scorer on top of his versatile skillset he'd be a sweet central mid.
lol, if Wolfsburg took Gomez as part of any package for Dzeko I'd laugh, Tymoshchuk would be a sweet addition, but Gomez is ridiculously awful now-a-days. A tymo + cash offer would make sense for both sides although I do think that Olic is a better fit for Bayern than Dzeko and they've got too many strikers on board to shell out for Dzeko without moving Gomez or Klose.
I think van der Wiel would be a good addition for Bayern, mainly because it'd put Lahm back on the left where he's more dangerous being able to use his speed to cut inside a la Robben. Plus van der Wiel's a good young wing back, he's kinda like a young Lahm IMO in that he's a great athlete, with good stamina who's a good defender and has skills going forward, neither will be confused with maicon but both can get forward and launch in some good crosses/passes.
