Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Seems like a lot of dough but the prospects of getting this clown out of the team and someone else paying his wages is not something I can't ignore. I don't expect it to happen, if it does this will go down as the greatest summer window in club history... Landslide.I don't know anything about this Destro kid, youtube footage doesn't show what type of player he is with ball to feet. He looks like a poacher type close comparison being Chicharito. So long as he can play a bit of football and recycle possession I'm fine with it... Whatever it takes to get rid of Nando really.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Its still quite impossible this to happen. Its up to Torres who has to accept to go to Roma (might not want to go there) and secondly, Chelsea is probably not prepared to put so much money in that deal. 20m for Destro, plus "losing" Torres on loan for nothing, while still having to pay around 10m for his wages while he wont even be here. And around 4-5m for Destro wages. Thats about 35m£ for those two players only, however we might get some back if Roma decides to buy Torres at end of season (but I dont see that happening and we are stuck with torres again).Unless Torres goes permamently to Roma plus 15m for Destro, I dont see it happening. And question if Roma is even prepared to give so much money for Torres wages...But I hope it happens anyway. Destro looks to be Mou choice and that means he will put lot of effort to make Destro play well here and motivate him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZOS 580 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I'll be a little sad when he leaves, to be frank. He has always been professional and generally likeable guy ... and I've always thought the reputation of the club and Roman is all rolled-up with his success ... any way, if he does leave, we should all say thanks for that goal at the Nou Camp TheIceMan, RoyalBlues and Chelsea? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! The only place to be 11,313 Posted August 21, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted August 21, 2014 Torres: I didn't care if Chelsea won or lost."Halfway through last season, I distanced myself from the values I had grown up with," Torres told El PaÃs. Catharsis and confession come together in a remarkable interview with the paper's reporter Lu MartÃn, which reveals the Spaniard's self-awareness and hints at the emotional journey that Torres has undertaken."I had team-mates who didn't care if the team won or lost because they were not playing," Torres said. "I never wanted to be like that. [but] one day I discovered that I was like them, that it didn't matter it we won or lost if I was not playing. I wasn't part of the group. I discovered that I was not happy because I had stopped being what I had always wanted to be. In the dressing room, you can never lose that group concept.""But I learned to look at myself and to realise that the only person that can change is you. The only person who can say: 'You're making mistakes, you've got to do something' is you." More nuanced than you're giving him credit for. The guy had a career-changing injury. Not everyone bounces back from that without having their character tested, but obviously you're made of sterner stuff so can judge him. I can't. I'm not perfect.

Daniel1980 1,425 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Apparently he was out for dinner with Cesc and Drogba yesterday. And here I hoped he was already having a medical at Roma. Is it too much to hope it was a farewell dinner? Dion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
