De Rossi (continued)

[argyle]

Would love this but can't see it. Not so sure he'd want to leave Roma.

Plus for whatever reason we're not going for big transfers this summer.

I don't watch De Rossi play so i on't know much about him. How will he improve the team? Is he worth £28 million?

It's a lot of money for 29-year-old but he is a player of the highest quality who could be the difference between being knocked out in the Champions League group stage and getting to the final stages. Yaya and De Rossi is on paper probably better than Real Madrid's strongest central midfield pairing (Khedira and Alonso).

Hart
Kompany
Clichy (arguably)
De Rossi
Yaya
Tevez
Aguero

Are as good as any one in their respective positions... this is what it's all about, especially if we want champions league success

I can't claim to know everything about him, but every time I've seen him in action (for Italy, and a few times for Roma) I've been impressed by his skills, both in the tackle and his range of passing. Would be an absolute dream signing for us and Mancini.


Yaya and DDR in the same team at the same time? Goodbye stupid draws and hello European progression.

I'm with others, I would absolutely love De Rossi in a city shirt but just can't see it happening.

 

[Platini Pollock]

I'm getting a semi on thinking about him partnering with Yaya........

 

[CTIDANDREW]

Anyone know of Mancini's realtionship with De Rossi? Is there one?

Also, does anyone know if De Rossi is fluent in english? I doubt it seeing hes lived in Rome his entire life... but if he is it would make this transfer a little more likely.

 

[Forzacitizens]

his custody issues with his daughter won't help, that's why i think he won't come

 

[RW9]

Can't see him leaving Roma, very similar situation to Totti, never been allowed to leave even when massive clubs have been interested e.g madrid, inter etc
The club is apparently ran by the mafia and thats why golden boy totti couldn't go! Normally would laugh that off...but its italy we're talking about!!!
