De Rossi (again)

[sam-caddick]

A great player but now we have Garcia and Rodwell I will be very surprised if we bought him.

Garcia is a squad player, Rodwell is for the future - Barry wouldn't get a game if we got De Rossi, Daniele is twice the player!

The money being mentioned to get him is mental and we would be mental to spend it on him, specially after buying Rodwell and Garcia this summer.

I don't think we're that mental.

He's had his chance(s), didn't take it(them), even made a joke from us with public press conference to big himself.

Jog off.

Rodwell I can see being a squad asset for two more years, and by then he ought to be good enough to be a starter.

But Garcia is not a squad player, faaaaar to good for that. He's had an all but optimal start to his City career, but I think pretty soon his will be on among the first names on the team sheet. He really is a very good player.

You just know it's another cock tease that will once again end in tears for those who want him.

It's just... the thought of deploying a midfield 3 of Benat, DDR and Yaya... damn...

Garcia is no where near as good as De Rossi though mate.

I think Roma wil take 20-25n for him, there is just no way any club will pay more, that is his value.

De Rossi - Yaya partnership in my opinion would be the best midfield partnership in Europe after Busquets and Xavi, and I honestly believe he could revolutionise the team!

I take it you're basing that on the numerous times you have seen him play prior to us signing him?

i totally agree with this.

Well... yes, but not that many times, but enough to form an opinion.
That combined with what I have heard others say about him, fans, managers, players and so on.
Something wrong with that?

No doubt about that.

I think Roma will take 20-25n for him, there is just no way any club will pay more, that is his value.

I don't know... but if he was attainable at 20mil it would be a great signing.

I think his attitude, drive and never-surrender mentality will have a major effect on the sqaud. He's a winner, a fighter and a leader.
If not the best, at least one of the best. Real have Alonso, Modric and Özil; Barca have Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta; Bayern have Javi Martínez, Schweinsteiger and Kroos and Chelsea have a pretty good selection of midfielders as well.

I'm still not sure where Yaya is best used though, as a CM or an ACM. He should NOT be played as a DM though, ever again. I'd much rather have Zabaleta there if we needed cover.
