Google translate doesn't make it much clearer lol.

Matia Destro future closer to Bologna, Roma reportedly agreed to release Destro to Bologna on loan plus redemption rights amounted to 10 million euros.
 
Another news came from Il Tempo that proclaim today the Destro was consideration of the UK, Norwich City are ready to accommodate Matia Destro with the main place bids and salary greater than the offer of Bologna

Would absolutely love us to sign Destro, he will be on the pricey side though, in both hus fee and his wages.

I also suspect that Destro would be too expensive on both counts.

Seems to have been linked to everyone at some point this summer, a quick google of his name brings up prior links to West Ham and Palace

Google translate reckons its Indonesian! 

Roughly translates to:

Roma are ready to sell Destro to Bologna but rumours are that Norwich City are also interested, who can pay more money.

Isnt that the second time we've been said to be rivalling Bologna? (Quintero rumours)  Is this just standard - they're newly promoted, so pluck another similar team (why not the Premiership) out of thin air to make a story out of nothing?

That's about the size of it. David McNally was saying on Saturday that the whole Quintero story was a total fabrication and that we had never been in for him. We've been used in this way about three times now by Italian rumour sites. The problem is that agents want to get bidding wars going so they leak to these sites which will basically run anything and then its on the net, and of course, if its on the net it must be true .....

At least it gives us something to talk about! What a shame there was nothing in Quintero though. Oh well, it is better to have loved and lost...

There are plenty of reports in Italy saying he is having a medical at Bolongna and suspected to be joining them shortly. To be honest I doubt we were really in for him, might have enquired but nothing more I reckon.

This sounds like paint by numbers journalism really. I doubt the football world is really half as exciting as the media make it out to be. When I was a kid I used to continually phone Premium rate phone-numbers to hear the latest (pre-dated the internet - teletext adverts were the closest you got to Norwich trnasfer news) tranfer link. I genuinely believed we were continually on the verge of signing someone special. I remember a chap called Vladen Lukic was linked after we'd sold Sutton (which of course never materialised). The Premium rate phone companies got plenty of money out of my naivity though, and needless to say my Dad wasnt too happy. Still, that wasnt as bad as doing the Sky Fantasy football via phone and Teletext (you'd do your changes by typing the numbers into the phone and it would very slowly change your team on Teletext) - that cost a bomb. Did anyone else ever do that? Would have been late-mid 90's. Din probably has no idea what Im talking about...
