De Rossi (continued)

[BoyBlue_1985]

Bloody hell, 'impeding on our growth club wide', 'sacrifice' after 'impressive' and 'incredible performances'. If some of these players have been so incredible why would we want to change them?

I think people need to get out of their Fantasy League shell. Luckily, this is the weekend to bring people back round.

I think some people need to watch our development in the preseason... Doesn't quite looks like were going to be playing 4-2-3-1 for the vast majority of our matches. I also do believe that Zabaleta has played a considerable role in our back 3. And as seen elsewhere... No defined position has been set for any player.

But what you are saying is that we need to sign Agger and De Rossi to see your Fantasy Team take shape?

You also say that Agger was awesome during the Euros yet they didn't even get out of the Groups. Saying that, they did beat Holland.

Everyone did and continues to now

On balance I believe we are in for DDR, but not the update in the other thread. And if we are now talking to the player through his agent we still have to convince the player and remember he has been at Roma all his life

At best still a lot to do

Rome, De Rossi is always the goal of Mancini

Manchester City will not give up and will soon return to the office for Daniele De Rossi. I want Roberto Mancini, who, after losing van Persie, went to strengthen United's cousins, wants to change, important market of Citizens (Rodwell came only). So we depart from the statements of ds giallorosso Walter Sabatini a few days ago, about Captain Future had hinted to his incedibilitá. But before offering indispensable De Rossi could still be sacrificed. Mancini starts from a base of 30 million euros, which can become 35. The Roma begin to treat of 40. The distance between the parties does not seem so unattainable; the deal, if all the players will be available to sit at a table to discuss it can finally move forward.

I don't see the point of his agent to come all the way from Italy knowing that DDR would reject our offer. I'm certain that his agent told him that he would come to us and listen to our offer which means he still hasn't rejected transferring out of Roma.

That is if the news about his agent who arrived yesterday is true.

City step up De Rossi chase

Manchester City are understood to be stepping up their pursuit of Daniele De Rossi after the Roma midfielder's agent flew to England for talks.

The Italy international has long been linked with a move to Etihad Stadium and his impressive performances at Euro 2012 only underlined his ability and versatility.

De Rossi on Wednesday night delivered another good display in Italy's friendly defeat by England and he could yet become more familiar with British opponents.

Sky Sports understands the Roma star's representative jetted into the United Kingdom for discussions with City and the development comes just days after the Premier League champions signed Jack Rodwell.

City boss Roberto Mancini has been frustrated by his club's comparatively limited activity in the market ahead of their first game of the new season against Southampton on Sunday.

But if Mancini was able to sign his fellow Italian, De Rossi, he would have little cause to complain about the acquisition of such a top player.

The 29-year-old's future has constantly been a subject of debate but, earlier in August, Roma sporting director Walter Sabatini said: "If a monstrous bid materialised we would evaluate it.

"But we are not looking for buyers for Daniele, because he is a pillar of our team."

I guess you'd have to spend a lot of money on either Falcao or Cavani, or even get Sturridge as a cheaper option.
