Why would we buy a player who barely gets games in league where the quality is not good? Serie A is terrible now besides Juventus. I think excluding Juve there are only about ten players in the entire league that would legitimately improve us. Destro is definitely not one of them. If we buy Destro it is just proof that our director of football is too lazy to actually scout and is just buying players from his previous club. Diabolical. Kaboul and Capoue have gotten more league minutes for us than Destro has for Roma.
Yago Falque has scored 4 in 5 games this year and Gervinho may have been Roma's best player last season. Long gone are the days of Serie A being a prestigious European league.
10 mil for Ings maybe 20 mil for Berahino who are good young English goalscorers with Premiership experience or 20 mil for Destro a guy who we have little idea if he will be adaptable to the prem considering the level of the current Italian League.
It just stinks of Soldado all over again.
Honestly that's unfair to Soldado, he had a significantly better record in a substantially better league. Destro would be such a strange signing at the prices mooted. Luckily, it seems to be bullshit and he's much more likely to be off to AC Milan.
Another potentially expensive striker from a foreign league has fuck up all over it.
I'd get Ings sorted now as I think he's a free agent in the summer, Adebayor will eventually leave and I'd be happy with Kane, Ings & Soldado as our 3 options.
I don't think it's always as clear cut as 1st/2nd/3rd choice, Soldado still has a lot of support at the Lane, it doesn't seem to be working for him but I can't question his work rate. You can question his finishing all day, but he seems a decent presence in the squad and with 2 young strikers in Kane and Ings I'd rather have someone a bit more experienced there as well.Let Bobby go if not for our sake for his sake, he looks a destroyed man out on the pitch, I'd rather have our third choice striker as an up and coming kid, can't imagine Bobby would be a happy person being third choice either behind Kane and Ings.
20 for Berahino would be an overpay. He's not better than Ings really.10 mil for Ings maybe 20 mil for Berahino who are good young English goalscorers with Premiership experience or 20 mil for Destro a guy who we have little idea if he will be adaptable to the prem considering the level of the current Italian League.

Are we still doing -Missed a trick with Pjanic at Roma should have been him Baldini pushed for.

Benteke would be such a better fit then Destro for the Prem.....
Used to watch a decent amount of Roma games. I've never been much of a fan of Destro. He's kinda in between Soldado and Ade. He's not as good as Soldado at passing, pretty good in the air, pretty good finisher, doesn't seem to have the greatest attitude though. I don't think he's worth the money.Has anybody actually seen this guy play much? Seems very expensive and a pretty big risk
I've made my feelings clear on Destro. I believe it was in the January transfer window thread.Totti should be able to offer some insightful thoughts on him.
From what I've seen, I think he'd be a great buy for us. Happily see Ade or Bobby go the other way.
