De Rossi (again)

[Mark - TheBlue]

Anyone who already wants Garcia out should be forbidden to write on forums or speak in public.. screw free speech and all that..

Ffs, some people are bigger rags than rags themselves

Don't care what you think . We sold NDJ for peanuts and could've brought in Fellani or Dembele instead we brought a player who isn't fit to lace NDJ's boots and for a huge sum (at least compared to the price we sold NDJ and Benat's evaluation). Garcia's best day would be Fellani's or Demebele's worse day . You saw how Wanyama controlled the midfield in the game against Barca , same thing with Fernandinho in the Spartak / Chelsea game , Benat does it like every match day in the Spanish league . These are game changers and midfield dynamo's , the kind of players we need in the midfield . Garcia doesn't and wouldn't cut it .

When i say he controlled the game i meant in regards to celtic , Of course barca had 84% possession but Wanyama was like the work horse and provided the cover for celtics defense from his defensive midfield position .

You may as well say Dembele is better than Joe Hart, seeing as we are comparing people who have no similarity whatsoever.

Dembele is a utility player , he can play as CMF or DMF and i have watched him do that for both club and country and he is better than Garcia , This is not a case of comparing players who have no similarity , All the players i mentioned play the same position as Garcia and they are all better than him.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini wants to sign Daniele De Rossi in January
Roberto Mancini has urged Txiki Begiristain to make Daniele De Rossi his first major signing as Manchester City’s new director of football in January with the Italian midfielder growing increasingly unsettled at Roma.

Mancini and Begiristain held their first strategy meeting on Wednesday following the former Barcelona sporting director’s appointment at the Etihad Stadium 10 days ago.

Begiristain, a key architect of Barcelona’s success during the past decade, has been charged with driving the club’s first-team player recruitment policy in tandem with Mancini.

And having failed to lure De Rossi to the Etihad during the summer, when the 29 year-old instead pledged his future to Roma, Mancini now believes that the player is ready to leave his hometown club as a result of his failure to be impressed by the methods of coach Zdenek Zeman.

De Rossi, who can also play as a central defender in a three-man defence, is unhappy at being forced to play out of position on the right of midfield in Zeman’s 4-3-3 formation and sources in Italy believe the player is ready to cite his discontent in order to pursue a move to City.

And having resisted offers during the summer for De Rossi, also a January target for Paris St-Germain, Roma general manager Franco Baldini hinted at the player’s disaffection earlier this week by claiming, “Should an offer arrive for him (De Rossi), we will consider it.”

While Mancini’s admiration of De Rossi is long-standing, having attempted to sign him for Inter Milan in 2007, the Manchester City manager could face a battle to persuade Begiristain of the merits in pursuing a move for the Italy international, however, due to his age, £25million valuation and current wages, which see him earn £4.8million after tax at Roma.

With Yaya Touré due to spend at least a month away at the Africa Cup of Nations with Ivory Coast in January and February, Mancini is determined to bolster his squad in the transfer window and he regards De Rossi’s ability to play in midfield and defence as evidence of his potential value to the club.

Despite City’s latest Champions League disappointment on Tuesday, which saw the club’s hopes of qualification for the knock-out stages badly damaged by a 2-2 draw against Ajax, where their defensive frailties, especially from set-pieces, were once again starkly exposed, Mancini retains the support of owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan.

Senior figures at City insist that the Italian’s position will not be reviewed should they fail to progress in the Champions League, but Mancini’s unpredictability — emphasised by his post-match resignation, later retracted, as Inter manager following a defeat against Liverpool in 2008 — ensures that his own intentions remain an unknown quantity.

DDR ? but I want 'Benat', his young & vision & skillful

This ! We should build for the future . Benat , Wanyama and Isco in ! Milner , Barry , Garcia, Balo out.

Fucking looooool, how often have you seen Benat, Wanyama and Isco play?



Milner and Barry out proves you're a new fan.

So we remain "loyal" to Milner and Barry even though they aren't good enough for the Midfield right ? We remain loyal to them even though we know we can get better players right?

We remain loyal because they both helped us win the league. Barry not good enough I'll tell u something now without Barry last season we wouldn't of come close to winning the league. Does that explain your question? Yes we can get better than Barry Garcia maybe if he's given a chance FFS.

I don't care who we sold or who we bought, I'm not yet impressed with Garcia myself but it's just plain moronic to talk about selling the player who was bought 2 months ago and spend one month of that sidelined due to injury.

It's one of more pathetic things I've read recently on the net. That's why I've said it's more ragish than rags themselves. Even one of their "I watched cricket til yesterday and just found out about soccer stuff" wouldn't act like that usually.

Shouldnt be looking to ditch Barry or Milner IMHO, both do a good and reliable job for us. But De Rossi? yes please - maybe we can part-ex Garcia with Roma;)
I do like the look of that telegraph report the more I read it

No we remain "loyal" to them because both are good enough and help with the home-grown quota, both are better than Rodwell and Garcia imo.

 

[AgüeroKun]

Not this again...

However if I am wrong, I'll gladly eat my own words.

I agree and disagree with u, yes Barry was fantastic in us winning the league last year but this isn't last year. Are 2 main rivals have both gotten stronger and we as far as i can see have got weeker, nasri is a good player but i think for what we payed for him and what we are paying him we aren't getting are money's worth Mario has wourld class potential yet never seems to play to more than 50% of it. And lastly Dzeko has proved he can score goals for us as he has done so both last season and so far this season yet we seem to be tryin to play him as a wide forward. What i have seen from garcia so far isn't good enough for us but its still early days yet and he deserves more of a chance.
I would bring in isco and Benat aswel aswell as a couple of the barca youngsters to ease into the team. Get rid of Barry Nasri and Balo.

Wanyama controlled the midfield V barca? 89% possession and 25 shots on goal says he did no such thing.

 

[bapi]

De Rossi in starting XI against Lazio. He won't leave, guys.

 

[Silvercloud]

Just been sent off I think for a head butt.

 

[Matt the Giant]

No no, not a head butt, - a nod of approval to City's offer surely. :)

 

[Stoned Rose]

Just been sent off I think for a head butt.

We should buy him just for this. Imagine him sticking one on Scholes in the derby and knocking the horrible little **** out.

 

[Rammy Blue]

In the Rome derby as well, and then they get beat 3-2.

Seems like he's doing his best to speed up the exit.....

;-)

 

[sam-caddick]

Just been dropped for the Italy game against France in midweek because of that red card according to Tancredi Palmeri.

 

[Pam]

He has made a mistake in staying. We won't pay as much for him in January, either.

 

[Cielo Azzurro]

Zeman blamed him for loss tonight.

[Pam]

He hasn't been flavour of the month with his manager all season long. We will sign him in January. We will sign Falcao. We will win the league.
