Is he as expert as Guilem Ballbag though ?

Thought his release clause was £35m We have supposedly offered 42 m euros.
About £33m I think.

not seen it picked up anywhere else though, and for a potential deal of this size I would have expected it to be reported elsewhere if it had any real legs - hope I am wrong though

We need a mixture of the best young players in the word and the best players in the world who have experience like yaya and hopefully de rossi. Resale value is secondary to success – if you’re successful players (other than the odd exception) won’t want to leave anyway.

Just because a player will have resale value doesn't mean u have to sell him. Resale value will reflect the playing life of a player. Hence buying young players will mean that we are either able to resign them without paying another excessive transfer fee or we can recoup some of our investment by selling and pursuing other targets.
Resale value and value in general should always be of the utmost concern unless there are no plausible alternatives. To say there are no comparable alternatives to de Rossi is a stretch.
For the record I reckon I believe we should buy de Rossi. But chastising someone for using their brain and discussing resale value shows a lack of understanding.
imo rodwell has been bought to become a cb, as well as cover for cm. But predominantly a cb.bluebannana said:why buy rodwell, if were gonna buy de rossi
