Franco Di Santo

Glad he's gone there, it'll give him a great chance to develop.

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

Excellent, this should be a great opportunity to get a good first hand experiance at Prem Football. I'm sure he would develope beter than at FC Twente

[chrismada9 1,948]

just have to hope Blackburn do well, while he's playing for them, and that he gets selected. He could fill the void that was left by Santa Cruz.

Mind you, they're about to sign Nikola Kalinic, and apparently, he's just as good as him, maybe better...

[Mart 29]

Don't know how much he will get used, especially if they are in a relegation dog fight, Allardyce would probably put his faith in the bigger lads who would bobble goals home through fluke rather than skill

Would have preferred he went on loan to an Italian club to test him in a league that suits him a bit better than the PL, and where he might be a bit more likely to get game time.

[We Hate Scouse 10,261]

It's better sending him to a team in the Premiership. There would be no point sending him to Italy because that would mean he would adapt his game to there style of play when he needs to adapt to the English style.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

I think he'll do well, even if he is going to be a sub. He'll do one amazing performance for them and show Carlo that he should be used in Janury when Drogs is in the ACN.

[Badboy 1,526]

This tells me 2 things

1. The marquee signing will be an attacker either a pacy forward or a pacy winger.

2. They have more belief in sturridge to be the option of the bench next season, we can have 7 subs now remember.

[Steve 10,227]

I think it is great news

Will hopefully give him a chance to get first team football. Also another plus is that it is only till January. So if he is playing good we can always get him back and give him a chance here.

[anathemadelight 1]

Does anyone know details of the deal? Does he have guaranteed playing time?

I wanted to see him in a blue shirt this season ...Thank god we did not sell him ...he is a good young prospect

[flamiejamie 0]

He is getting some valuable minutes at Blackburn!! When we take him back on loan I hope he gets some starts next to Drogba, just like mentioned above.

Error mate.

[Kajo 176]

His first goal in PL  he have to be very happy about that  

[ZanSnake 1,211]

He has played really well for Blackburn.

Him and Dunn have made a great partnership, let's hope he can bag some more goals in

Franco Di Santo set to stay at Blackburn as Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti gives deal the green light

Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti is willing to let Franco Di Santo stay at Blackburn with a view to a permanent transfer.

The 20-year-old striker has been on loan at Ewood Park since the start of the season and was due to return to Chelsea at the end of the month.

Argentinian Di Santo has been a regular for Sam Allardyce's side arriving in Lancashire although he has only managed one goal - in a 3-2 win over Burnley in October.

But, according to the Daily Mirror, Allardyce is likely to take up the option of keeping Di Santo.

The Rovers boss has also been linked with Stoke City's unsettled striker James Beattie.

he doesn't score enough goals, scoring goals needs to be easy as breathing.

Chelsea always respects the will of players.

Even we did some bad transfers based on their choices...

I think we would keep Di Santo eventually.

If we want to sell him to Blackburn, we would sell him now.

If not, he is coming back next season with more premier league experience.
