Rumoured Mattia Destro

[We Hate Scouse 10,326]

The level of anticipation is too high, I haven't even seen Destro play and still want this to happen, that says it all I think

Destro can sit in the reserves and never play a game for us for all I care. Imagine the scenes if Torres leaves. I think the celebrations would be bigger than when he scored that goal against Barca. There'd be an open top bus with all the players on it, just to show he ins't our player any more, millions would turn out for it.

If it's a loan I'll buy a Roma shirt with Torres on the back so their shirt sale figures go up for that slight chance they think he'll be a good investment for marketing purposes.

Mattia Destro's agent has confirmed that Chelsea are interested in his client. There'll be no swap deal involving Fernando Torres.

So we are interested but it doesn't involve Torres? If that's the case then this deal won't happen especially with our foreign player situation

That could just mean that the deal to bring Destro to Chelsea doesn't involve Torres. Why would we have 4 strikers for 1 position? Nothing to say they won't take Torres on loan as part of another deal.

If the deal doesn't include Torres going the other way.... Meh.

I'd rather someone like Remy to be honest

I think Destro really might be coming they reported on Sky Sports also.

Watching a few Youtube videos of him and he looks like a predator in the box, anyone what his overall game is like?

Exactly.

Swap deals are very rare in football. Nothing to say two separate deals can be done.

That will be exactly what we need when we want to bring on a striker when we need a goal.

Costa for teamplay/buildups, Drogba for physical teams, destro for poaching goals like ba did for us against PSG

Terrible striker really, I hope they take Torres for like 5-10m and we go out to sign Remy/Bony for 15-20m.

Has he gotten on a diet yet?

Has he gotten on a diet yet?

He looks the same, just needs a nice shave and a haircut.

[Pizy 18,856]

Looks like he roided up.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

I am actually more excited about the prospect of Torres leaving than getting Destro.

[Chelsea? 892]

No service!

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Nah he looks alright...for PL striker its better to be stockier anyway...and he is 1.86m or sth too.

[TLaw10 28]

He definitely fits the bill size wise that Jose seems to prefer
