You are complaining about Dzeko's working outside of the box? You should be glad to have such a striker. Gomez can disappear for the whole game without any usage for the team...you cannot afford that against top competitors. Just spend a look at the half-finals against Italy in the EC 2012.
Iirc, Dzeko always was a working striker (seen him at Wolfsburg). You will need such a type if you want to have a good working closing-down.
Don't forget that scoring in a team with Robben, Müller and Ribery isn't very difficult. Anyone can do this.

Hopefully its just paper talk.
See what @Honigstein has to say, he's pretty ITK with German football

All he does is score goals, he won't get involved in the play outside of the box. Just finish whatever comes into it.
Maybe they are thinking if Cavani isn't going to happen get Gomez and stick him up front and have Navas, Silva and so on playing around him and just get the ball in the box for him asap with speed and accuracy.
If we sell Tevez and Dzeko for around 30m+, Gomez won't cost anywhere near as much as Cavani so we can put that money towards buying Isco or Thiago?
