De Rossi (again)

[Bilboblue]

For the love of God, I never understood this obsession with this supposed rumour. Top class player, I'd be touching myself proper naughty if he signed, but we are talking about Bergomi-Maldini-Totti club loyalty here. It was clear that once he signed that new deal, he pretty much made a career defining commitment, and fair play to the lad. All of us would like to think that if we had a chance, we'd be City from day one until the day it's time to hang them up.

I am sure that 99% of the rumours were agents playing and media BS anyhow, just does not strike me as a kind of a player who would leave for a huge sack of cash at this stage of his career.

Good luck to him, we might eventually sign someone just as good.

Do you not get football news in Moscow?

De Rossi fell out with the manager and the club a couple of months ago and unless things change, he wants out.

Everyone knows on here that I absolutely adore De Rossi as I think he could be the the player to get our midfield ticking in Europe and turn us into a better side in general, but I just think this guy is Roma plated and will never ever leave.

If we go in again then nothing more than £15m, although I do think he will be like Pirlo, Scholes, Xavi, Lampard etc.. A player who has another 5-8 years left in him.

I cant see him leaving roma if he has spent all his career there

I could be wrong he does move to city or PSG but its most likely for money or challenge

Hes 29 and hes getting older and he could retire in a few years

If mancini was looking for someone like him i would go for someone younger who can develop

Rumours circulating that we're in for him in the summer.

Are they big rumours?

Same fucking rumours we've been hearing for 2 years? We should move on f@@k he didn't wanna sign it's as tho were desperate.

 

[pudge]

Is he in the squad for todays game?

Fantastic player with a few good years in him, but must be the anti-ideal kind of business Ferran and Txiki will want to do.

He would have to be going very cheap for them to sanction it I think.

Very cheap, and not on anything remotely close to a mega salary.

Going nowhere now that Zemen is sacked. Whoever the new manager will be will surely rate DDR more than Zemen.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if they went for Roberto this summer, if they can wait that long. Would Mancini be able to turn down that job?

I think he might take it if offered.

I do get it)))

So if a player falls out with a manager (alledgedly) does this mean he asks for a transfer? He wants out? Based on what? From what I can gather on this, he never actually asked for a transfer and is even more unlikely to do so now. Fantastic player, but sounds and looks like the kind of a bloke who would love to stay at his club for his entire career. And, all things considered, I have no problems with that.

I remember watching Euro 96 as a young lad, and reading in one of our papers how one of the Gallagher brothers asked Maldini to join City))) Would have been great, but in all fairness - a one-club World Class player is a bit of a rarity nowadays, is it not? A thing to celebrate methinks.

Whats the latest on our old friend DDR?
How's he been playing, is he happy, when's the next Roma flight due in at Ringway etc?
I think we need to know

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Have we signed him yet ?????

 

[mgreenz97]

If we can get him, good.
If not, aw well.
Let's not dwell on this.
