From a club/business perspective, this signing is obviously scandalous. It’s an expensive and demoralising way to not mount a title defence. A “Dzeko signing” will carry on as a meme throughout the dark and hopeless times that lie ahead.

With that in mind, I don’t think Dzeko will be another Forlan. Despite his age, I think he’ll have some utility if he can stay semi-fit.

I’ve watched a decent number of Roma games in the past few years and he’s still capable of leading the line and playing smart & tidy with his back to goal.
Really depends on what he s here to do if he s our lukaku replacement then yes this is a disaster but if he s our pinamonti replacement then i really dont have a problem with it if he does not earn more than 3 mio.

The problem isnt Dzeko. The problem is there arent serious links to another striker and the first game of the season is in 10 days.

Actually that Dzeko salary is a problem only if Lautaro contract negotiations fall because of our salary policy.

As much as I hate this transfer, I am still excited to see Dzeko in Inter shirt. I will just imagine it is 30 years old Dzeko. He doesnt look old honestly

I really don't mind this as a 4th striker. I really don't, wages being a disaster aside.

But they've got to get some quality up front with Lautaro, this is so depressing.

I don't think anyone has a problem with Dzeko as a 4th forward from a sporting point of view. We just fear this.

👇
The painful reality is that Dzeko will play a LOT more than anyone expects - or wants, for that matter.

I also find hilarious our management reiterates all summer we need to cut costs and reduce wage bill by 15-20%, we try all summer to offload our oldies with fat contracts (Nainggolan, Vidal, Sanchez) and then we go and offer a 2-year contract worth 6m net per season to 36-year old Dzeko.

And €6m to Insigne if those reports are to be believed. At this point I think Marotta is just trolling or deliberately fucking over Suning.

Sell 2 TOP players. Get 10 mediocre players. The Chinese / Inter way. quantity over quality, and still Gags, Perisic, Vecino etc. on the squad.

This is not the chinese way. When I order products from China it works fine for a duration of time and when it gets bad I throw it away to buy a new one. We won't be able to that with Dzeko

Dzeko will surprise many of you here. I expect him to have the same impact as Ashley Young i.e. overall a decent deal.

Yes, we overpay but that's a must, when we sell a key player 10 days before the market ends. Everyone (and the player himself) know we are desperate.
