We simply must bid for De Rossi.
I'd imagine we probably have,several times.
There is absolutely no way City would have agreed to allow De Rossi to sign an improved contract out of some loyalty towards Roma recouping a realistic fee.
His fee went from £8m back to £20m plus. Added to the £7m a year in wages he is now getting, time to forget this guy and admire him from afar.
For me, Montolivio and Moutinho are the two players who have stood out as suiting our requirements in this area.
That lad at the back for Italy, Bonucci, all day long.
