Yes we can, granted they have dropped alot of players with high-ish salaries now, so more to work with in their wage budget, but if we want to we can afford Dzeko's wages. We have also cut some dead weight or will cut some dead weight this summer.

But you want those guys over him? Based on what? Dzeko is clearly in this stage a more proven player then the above trio.

Here's why i think Lewandowski would be a better signing than Dzeko.Eager to present a case for him.
In regards to their footballing attributes,Lewa is much more mobile ,faster ,technically gifted and can slip those occasional through balls.He played as a support striker for a while when Kagawa was unavailable/injured and did a pretty decent job.Our system requires a CF who can create for the other players around him too in short a focal point who can spearhead an attack and not just operate as a pure poacher/goal scorer.The ideal signing would be RVP but on a compromise it should certainly be Lewa over Dzeko in my opinion.
In time he would get more clinical in front of goal as well as he's only young and developing.I'm not sure where this much more proven comes from. Lewa has excelled in the same league as Dzeko,both are yet to really make a mark in CL and Edin has certainly in no way lit up the PL as there's a reason Mancini has even preferred a natural SS in Aguero at CF over Dzeko although he's certainly a more 'profiled' name than Lewandowski i'll give you that.
In regards to the financial aspects of things ,this is a no brainer.Lewa earns 4x less wages or maybe even less than Dzeko ,would cost much lesser in transfer fee and all in all he would be a very good future investment in my opinion only that we'd be getting a less fashionable name but an effective one at that.I expect him to do very well at the Euros while Dzeko can sit and watch the tournament from his couch.
Here's a very good description of Lewandowski.

Here's a very good description of Lewandowski.
The only thing Dzeko doesn't have is pace. For his size his strength is great. He knows where to be in the box to score and puts himself into great positions. He scores with his left foot, right foot and head...it doesn't matter, he uses everything to get the ball into the net.
Dzeko has it all except for pace.

Lewandowski simply doesn't offer the type of quality we need. Take a look at his goals in the Bundesliga last season, and I mean all of them. Shambolic defending, poor goalkeeping. He's a good player, I'm not denying that, but we were promised fuoriclasse, and if we want to go far in the CL, fuoriclasse is what we need, not frickin Lewandowski.
Higuain, RVP and probably Cavani will demand high wages now that there are teams willing to pay higher if necessary. Take into account their insane transfer fees I still think Dzeko is the better piece of business.

This.
Rather a Matri-Jovetic or Desto-Jovetic. Splurge on a top SS to get Pepe the fuck off the field then maybe in the winter something comes available.
