DDR would definitely be a here and now signing (like van Persie) but we've stocked up on some high-end youth prospects from the ages of 15 to 17 in the last year and the club will hope some of those like Suarez, Rekik, and the new signing Ntcham will be able to progress to the first team eventually, so signing experience would not be a short-sighted move with the knowledge we have a good core of youth (and if that all goes tits up, we aren't short of a penny to quickly rectify a problem).

Re: De Rossi
Don't get me wrong, I'd love us to sign De Rossi I think he's fantastic and his defensive quality seems like it would compliment Yaya very well. However it just seems unlikely after the purchase of Rodwell. If we can though, we should defo go for him.
True, but Mancini doesn't seem to rate Milner as a CM but that may just because Barry and Yaya are guaranteed starters and we only need two in most games.Andouble said:

Re: De Rossi
I'm in agreement with adam here there's a pretty large gap we have with our CM/CDMs if we were to buy de Rossi. Assuming we bought DDR Nigel would almost definitely be gone either now or prolly January after him and I guess if u wanna say Milner(he hasn't really played deep recently and bobby mainly plays him on wing which is fine) but anyway after that there's a substantial age and experience gap. We just got rodwell who we're assuming is going to be used as CDM and then we have razak coming up. Buying DDR is great but god forbid he gets injured during the time yaya is away at afcon we'd be up a river without a paddle

Re: De Rossi
De ROssi turned 29 2 weeks ago and Yaya turned 29 3 months ago. You'd be able to get 2 more seasons of the absolute highest quality from both.
You worry about the midfield after them when the time comes, we all know the management isn't short-sighted.

Re: De Rossi
Surely if this bid is true Roma must agree to sell right??? 30-40 mill range for a 29 year old CDM. What more could they possibly want. I know this saga has went on for the past three transfer windows. But, I've never felt more confident that it could happen.
P.S. Does anyone know of his relationship with Mario? Is it a good one? Obviously, im sure DDR is good mates with Totti. Totti had that terrible stamp to Mario's head in the past. Just curious if anyone can shed a light on their relationship if there is one. Not trying to be a WUM here but im not sure if Kompany and Hazard had the best relationship with one another. However it did seem Hazard was close with the Belgium players that play for Chelsea. I really think that could have made a difference in his choice(along with money and living in London)

Re: De Rossi
So is Yaya but he`s still strong.Forget any resale,you have to look at the wider picture and if that £40M (or euros) compensates for a better run in the CL and other trophies,say over the next couple of years then job done and money well spent.
