De Rossi

[blink922]

Why not? There is not a great deal between them. FFS some people act like De Jong is a bloody Championship player at times...

Take De Jong, add the leadership of Kompany, the passing ability of Scholes/Pizzaro and the forward runs of Yaya Toure then you've got yourself De Rossi.

You are significantly overrating De Rossi there mate. He is not on the same level as Toure, Technically or pace wise. I saw the Milan Roma game earlier in the year and Muntari, an average player, destroyed De Rossi on several occasions. A lot of people on here seem to be judging there opinion of De Rossi on heresay, rather than facts.

You say he's overrating him then judging him by one bad game. How many bad games did Yaya have last season? I've followed his career pretty closely for a long time and he is indeed one of the best CMs in modern football. He's not overrating him in the slightest. I'll say that Yaya is a better player going forward but Daniele's defensive work and passing ability are of the absolute highest quality. DDR would be the best possible signing we could make this summer.

Haha, he is a great player but you are overrating him a little

You haven't seen enough of him then.

I dislike Scholes and the way the rags wank off him but he is still arguably the greatest passer in Premier League history, De Rossi, although a great passer himself, does not posses the same passing ability of Scholes.

I think he's overrating Pizarro

Fair enough. Hard to surpass Scholes in that area.

This Italian journalist claims in the last hours we've bid €40million for De Rossi. Having signed Rodwell does anyone really think we might still be in for a midfielder or is Rodwell seen more as a long-term investment meaning Bob might want De Rossi also?

He is a player we can fit in along with Jack Rodwell. It is whether we can persuade De Rossi to leave Roma is open to debate.

Why? Pizarro was the best passer of the ball in our team whilst he was here.

Posted this in the "Marquee signing" thread the other day:

The fact we've brought in Rodwell, which in effect is a saving on someone of the ilk of De Rossi or Martinez, gives me the distinct impression that we have something up our sleeve.

Unless we do buy someone of that ilk and Bob sees one as a long-term centre-back and one as a midfielder? As stated in my other post..sneaky feeling that it's Garcia from Benfica.

Swap Garcia for De Rossi (player of that ilk) though. In the 3-5-2, maybe Mancini wants De Rossi to play middle CB/sweeper like he did for Italy in the Euros...

I thank Tolmie for all he has done for this forum. But, his word is not the be all end all. We are still very much in for De Rossi (its pretty obvious). The Roma chairman wouldn't have come out with his recent comments if we weren't aggressively after De Rossi.

Why? Pizarro was the best passer of the ball in our team whilst he was here.

He was a decent player who started well in games then faded away.

I hate reading posts about how we need to replace him all the while the same posters place him on the same level as Xavi, Scholes and Alonso (Which has actually happened). So sorry I don't rate a player who recently went to Fiorentina on free as highly as some.

But this is a De Rossi thread, so let's talk about him.

Would be a great signing. Yaya and De Rossi at CM would be completely unmatchable in world football as far as all around play.

But we'd be left with 3 30ish year olds and one unproven lad in Rodwell. I can't imagine Nige sticking around for more than a year if De Rossi is here, if even that. We'd have to reinvest in midfield in a few years or hope Biton(did we ever sign him?), Razak, Rodwell, etc turn out to be great players.

In the end I can't see it happening. Rodwell seems to be the cheap alternative to DDR and long term Barry replacement.

 

[Andouble]

DDR is on international duty tomorrow vs England (he's in the squad), don't think this is one that will be resolved in the next few days

 

[TonyM]

DeRossi would be a decent pickup especially with Barry injured. He's a bit old and slow these days but his determination makes up for that. Well worth a bid of 15m (euros).

Still have Milner, and it's not like after this summer we'll never buy again - when Yaya get on we will replenish, of course.

Inter won the CL a few years ago with an aged squad, not to mention DDR and Yaya are both 2 years or so away from 30!

Translation =
As reported by Alfredo Pedulla on his official website, "the last hour there have been contacts with Roma and provide some email exchange. We had said in recent days that the City of De Rossi would have extended the offer until you pass the wall of 35 million. And the wall has been exceeded 40 million with the ability to go higher, considering the bonuses. And in a multi-year midfielder from about 7.5 million per season. Now the ball goes to Rome, the offer is the that they tremble. "

That last sentence is phenomenal. So dramatic. Love the Italians.
