De Rossi (continued)

[cyprustavern]

Lol? Are you 12?

Anyway, I've seen him plenty. I just think Song would be a better purchase, yes. Not a better player, but a better buy on the whole.

You'll have a fantastic DM, who's not in his prime yet, for £10m less and with probable sell on value should he go on to improve (regardless of City not being a selling club).

I'd say De Rossi would be a player that would suit (aswell as City), Real Madrid & Barca over the years, yet neither have really wanted him.

rodwell could be as good as song in 3 years time mate..we are looking to purchase top top level not v good,,thats the difference between de rossi and song..with regards to money how much have chelsea spent on hazard and torres? compare that to de rossi and sergio...we would have purchased better players and a good few million cashback.

I must admit, I'm sceptical over Rodwell. Even when Utd were being spoke about in the media as being interested in Rodwell a year ago, I was wondering why. Then, after hardly any action last season, my opinion hasn't improved at all. Infact, I'd almost forgotten about him.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love him to prove me wrong and go onto be an international regular, but I'll reserve judgement on that until I've seen him in action (hopefully) this season.

Fair enough on the "Top, top" and "Very Good" bracket comparison. As I've said, it's all opinions. I just think someone like Song could help you retain the title in the same way as De Rossi could, aswell as put in a better CL challenge, for a lot less money and with plenty of years in the bank.

De Rossi has only faced slow-paced games throughout his career. That's exactly what Italian football is. Unfortunately, we can't gauge his CL performances, because he's hardly featured. Even International football is slow paced.

Time will tell I suppose and I respect the opinions of those who are desperate for De Rossi to arrive. I just happen think there's better options.

de jong is better than song so we would technically be downgrading imo...de rossi is a complete cm , song is a good dm

Big chance for Soriano to become a hero today :D

If he gets the deal done that is!

He does not start until Sept 1st .... how is he going to do that ?

So Marwood will be a hero if DeRossi signs. Interesting.

Soriano out!!

That's not how it works and you know it.

I wouldn't even class Song as a DM. Arteta is a better defender than him.

Back on topic please!

Other than the sky sports reporter tweet has there been anything else- all the news stories since seem to have been generated by that one tweet

Not really, that seems to have been the seed that started it all

Unless you watch Serie A every week, then probably as much as you.

I like him, don't get me wrong. And yes, I would say he's better than Song. I just think Song would be the better purchase.

I know you haven't seen that much of De Rossi, because saying Song would be a better purchase made me lol. Not fit to lace his boots mate.

We already have two DMs for the future, we need one for the now...The only memory I have of Song is his attempt at a tackle on Tevez, before the latter rifled it in the top hand corner.
