Of course they target players like him, to end up with a player like Pazzini or Torres, on the decline, not too expensive without added value to the team.
would be a good move for them. i rate destro very highly. in my opinion he has everything to become the best italian striker besides giuseppe rossi. i would take destro over immobile any day. (mourinho is a fan of destro too)
but what is roma going to do with all the money? destro 20-25 and benatia 30-40 mio.?
getting two defenders (chiriches and manolas?) and a top-striker like jackson martinez (buy-out clause)?
or do you think its just for "balancing the books"? cant imagine this tbh: why would palotta put money in this club like a maniac and then step back suddenly?
tbh, if they somehow get Destro/Martinez, Douglas Costa/Cerci and Rabiot and offload shit like Agazzi, Essien, Mexes and more then they'd have a really good mercato. They would be a serious top 3 candidate but thankfully, Inzaghi is their coach, so 8th place again.
Di Maria talked to Vidal and convinced him to take some other number (because, unlike Di Maria, Vidal is not obsessed with shirt numbers). Vidal will just pick a random number
Great signing for United. Real is retarded for letting the guy go.
I imagine the transfer fee being ridiculously high, just like his wages. It was great reading posts when people said he's available for 30 and possible target for Juve.
However, football and its numbers are turning into a circus.
Although a great player joining United those guys have no fuckin' idea what they are doing It's like they are piling up players. How are all of those guys going to fit in one team? Di Maria and Mata are not going to have to be forced to play on the wings.
