sorry, my mind is fookin fried today as I'm dreading this transfer window. De Rossi being the wrost one as its like a 1% chance of signing him. Roma need to grow the fuck up cos its not good business or performance sense relying on 1 player.
He'll play at his peak for maybe another 2-3 years and then its down hill. They could cash in a really build on the team for the next 10 years but nooooo, Roma through and through bollox. That journo saying well done to De Rossi for staying loyal is dumb as plank! football for owners is a business; winning titles, success, revenue ... not having 1 loyal player!
After that rant, I'm now praying we land him!!
Deep down mate, Roma will want to sell and like you said it is a business at the end of the day.
With the money Roma can get from De Rossi, they could invest for the future - Roma hold no true loyalty to De Rossi as they can always move on and progress without him.
If we offered a fantastic offer, Roma will probably convince De Rossi to leave in my opinion - money doesnt just talk from the players behalf, clubs like to have a good pay day every now and then.
I would love you to be right about this but the window closes in less than 72 hours. I can't imagine striking a deal so late, considering we've had all summer long to do it, unless Roma want an excuse not to spend the transfer fee.
