    He looked really slow today the 10 mins he played. He's not adapting well as others have stated. It was really good for him that he scored that golazo, it will buy him time.

    If he looked slow today, he'll look slow every other game too. Pace isn't his best quality. You can't judge a player if he plays only for a few minutes.

    ha tenido mas de 10 minutos y el problema no es su lentitud en si, si no que juega a otro ritmo del equipo (personalmente no lo vi hoy), pero los partidos que lo he visto le esta costando italia.....eñ gol como dice @Uzuriaga fue una bendicion que le ayudo a comprar confianza a benitez

    Last game he scored a fantastic goal and today he played only ten minutes. It's impossible to say how he is adapting so far.

    Duvan is still very young. Napoli spent a good penny for him. He's around other 'paisanos'. It's not like he started red hot for Estudiantes. He missed the summer pretraining and didnt get to with the other players and the new DT.
    He's got time to grow.

    nadie esta negando que este justificado o que sea validos los factores de su modo de juego discreto cuando lo han metido.......era predecible que pasara, y mas en italia.........pero el tipo no esta en el mismo timing que el resto del equipo en este momento.........es mas cuestion de adaptacion

    a Bacca le costo toda una temporada adaptarse a Belgica que es de menor nivel que Italia

    There are rumours saying he might go to Udinese. Makes sense, all colombians must play in Udinese for them to reach their full potential.

    Udinese is the Italian Porto for us. I'd love to see him up front next to Muriel

    I forgot about Muriel completely. It would be very nice to see them playing together. Di Natale could teach him a lot, just like he taught Muriel. Di Natale seems like a guy who likes to help the youngsters adapt.

    But porto worry about sporttive pryect,,,,,,,udinese love to sell their players when qualify to UCL


    And in the cases of Aguilar and Cuadrado, only helped them to arrive to europe....

    He does, but he's retiring after this season. That may actually be the reason why they are interested in Zapata, to add depth up front.

    True. Porto actually develops and uses our players for club success, Udinese just uses them as a farm project to sell. I mean that they are the Italian Porto in that they keep a close eye on Colombian talent and provide a platform to Europe.

    Muriel and Zapata together would be fun to watch. I hope it happens.

    Clumsy and slow seems to be a good way to describe him. But he positions himself pretty well and is such a big target for offensive teammates that he will get his chances. Hope he gets more playing time in the Serie A but I doubt it.
