Rumoured Mattia Destro

[iseah100 5,612]

Seriously. If he comes, his gf better be contracted to assist Eva at all times. God.

[DYC. 7,542]

She is ridiculously good looking though.

You think Destro renews those airbags on a regular basis?

[LAM09 7,043]

Destro's gf is the right type for Terry.

She would fit in anywhere.

[LAM09 7,043]

Haven't really seen him play much, only a few games here and there and can't remember how he performed but from a few youtube videos he looks to have decent hold up play and seems quite strong. I think he would fit in here, granted my views are just from youtube vids so it really means very little.

He is a player who isn't very consistent, and not very physical. Our type of play needs a strong CF like DD or Costa.

Cavani is who we all really want (very unlikely to happen).

Nah, don't think Cavani would fit us well. We are currently playing in systems with mainly 1 striker. If we buy Cavani we need to switch to 4-4-2, since neither Costa or Cavani would like to be on the bench. Cavani will also cost a lot, £50M at least with maybe the same wages as Torres.

In DD we have the perfect 3rd striker who is still a monster in the air and a great targetman to come on late in the game. In Costa we have a complete striker. Now we need a poacher-type for goals and Destro seems fine in finishing, still young (23 versus 27 Cavani) and if he wants to be the 2nd striker, he's welcome.

Mou also knows him from the youth at Inter Milan when he was the trainer there. So Mou must know him well and in Mou we trust.

I would personally prefer to get a proven goalscorer. I get your point about Cavani not fitting in your system, but he knows how to score. We went down the youth route (Lukaku, Sturridge), and it didn't really work.

Either way, Mourinho will make the best choice for the team.

Fixed.

[LAM09 7,043]

Fixed.

LOL!

Destros WAG

Awful. Can't play in the pivot.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

It appears he changed number from 22 to 91...he had 22 all the time since joining roma.

If we get him to replace Torres it will be a perfect transfer window

By far it will be one of the best transfer window in a long time.

I'm not sure about this Destro kid but if he's Jose's choice than he's my choice as well. If the rumoured fee is true, £18m is exactly what we should be paying for a 2nd choice striker, he won't play a lot and is young.

Message to the supporters, 18m is not a lot of money! Don't expect Messi-like performances if he does come.

If he has the same sort of impact of Pandev at Inter for Mourinho I will not complain.

May sound funny to some but I'd even take a Kalou right now... He was very good off the bench.
