Where has this come from and is a player that couldn't make the grade at Chelsea good enough for us when we need a goal scorer?

probably poor journalism, you'll get that with every player Rodgers has worked with

--------------------------------------
I don't know anything about him but if he's played a season at Swansea and a Season at Roma, being twenty-one would make him at least 19 when he played for Chelsea, so you can't say he didn't make the grade. Many players have left their clubs whilst young and not getting chances and went on to become very good players. Rossi, who played for United and went to Spain, Glen Johnson for Chelsea, Sinclair for Chelsea. Some clubs have too much money and youth don't get chances.

Like you say, he worked with Rodgers at Chelsea and Swansea, he appears to be a very good young player, I have seen him linked a few times now.

I know that Swansea where really upset when he left them, as they thought he was going to be a real star.

impressed in our reserve side but never really looked like making the cut at the next level (not that he got much of a chance)

impressed in the Championship and has done well at Roma-Rodgers will be another factor here

could be a good signing for you

i think he's exactly what we need. small nippy player who makes runs in behind the defence like hernandez does for united. he was at swansea with brendan rodgers and also played under rodgers for the chelsea reserve team so i can see it happening.

good player but not sure 15million whether euros or pounds is value for money

by the way i saw him play in the flesh (admittedly in the championship). but he was extremely dangerous against forest in the play offs a few years back.

Chelsea offererd and wanted him to sign a new contract but he wanted to go home to Italy.

Done well at Swansea but it was only championship at the time.

Cant beleive he would be ready to come back already after leaving homesick.

Not sure he is a small nippy player either.

A hard worker with good technique, quite quick but not lightening fast, nearly 6ft as well.

Brendan has to make his mark and I just hope he is good enough.

He was very impressive for Roma last season and improved considerably compared to 3 years ago

Has a lot of potential

I do find it funny tho how the first time I saw him play was when he came off the bench in a league game and missed an open goal
