I've been keeping my eye on Destro since we were linked to him heavily and I honestly see nothing there as a player besides an exotic name. Roma doesn't play him and now he's leaving on loan and he wasn't picked for the Italian national team that went out in the group stage. The guy averages 7 passes per game. That's so bad.
As a player he just trundles around up top looking for tap ins adding nothing else. He's not athletic, has the body type of Grant Holt and to be honest he's borderline overweight.
That's before getting into how poor a league is and how even before the league went to shit that players coming from the Italian league have a very low success rate in England.
He may have been a big prospect at one time but the fact is Roma is loaning him out to the 11th placed team in the league. He doesn't exactly look like a player who is set to thrive in the Prem. He looks like Soldado without the buildup play and Soldado has been totally overmatched in a faster more physical league. Plus they supposedly want £20m for this guy, come on.
