Dzeko is a "gamer". He gets the game. He has this combination of high football IQ + skill, can do brilliant, even small things, which make the plays good. He doesn't need his speed to be good and that's why he might have a longer career than most. A bit like Zlatan who then also has even trickier football mind + athleticism on top of that.

Knowing what to do in different plays is important and I hope Dzeko will bring improvement on this compare to Lukaku.

what're the contract details? free transfer and 2 years?

if so, that's not a bad deal at all; he can definitely help the younger players grow

I think it was free transfer but if we get to CL position then we will have to pay a big sum of 1.5M euro.

No need for 4-5 years ago. Had we got him 1-2 years ago as lukaku backup, our team would have been complete and really sure we would improve a lot in CL.

One of the problem last season was we played lukaku too much and therefore his performance took a dip when there were mid-week games. He would have gave lukaku rest time and provide different features which would make our team more unpredictable. Oh well its just a dream.

Lukaku also played every game for Belgium even tho he really didn't need to play the third game in the group. Coaches be weird like that.

Why "SWAN" tho? Is it his nickname? Never heard of it.
To be honest, as a Bosnian I am hearing it for the first time as well, might be something only related to his origins in Sarajevo.
In Bosnia he is much more referred to as "the diamond", which caught up after a TV commentator started calling him "Dzeko dijamantu".

Btw I see many like the video, to me it's cringey really. On all sport-related portals in Bosnia though they are praising Inter for dedicating Dzeko a spectacular presentation.

Can't say that I am not hopeful, it's nice seeing him in Inter jersey.

Dzeko is past his prime, but is still a very useful player.
Pretty much the only Bosnian international left from the "golden" generation of players that made it to the WC 2014.
Hopefully, he helps Inter win the league, I would be very happy to see him end his career on a high.

Oh, I just got it. Swan from The Warriors, hence the comic style. Pretty clever.

I'll forever think all these videos are cringe though.
