De Rossi

[Inzi]

He is a good player but sorry not seeing that he would bring anything new to the team .

apart from his ability to pick out a 30 yard pass? hes not the best deep lying playmaker, but hes a beast as an all round CM. much better than barry so he would clearly add to our team. But it'll never happen

He picked Mario out a couple times at the start of the match against England, and reportedly was not quite fit tonight.

A step up from Barry and de Jong

 

[Rammyblues]

Never mind a step up from Barry and De jong he would be perfect alongside them both, especially away in CL games.

This.

A midfield trio of deep lying playmaker(DDR), a ball winning mid(NDJ, Barry), and a box to box runner(Yaya); wrap it up and enjoy it at Christmas.

De Rossi was fantastic today. Along with Pirlo, bossed the midfield..

 

[mancityscot]

We have to go for this guy! Shits all over Barry, de jong, milner

 

[Forzacitizens]

There's no chance he'll come to city.

He is divorced and wouldn't leave his daughter in Rome.

 

[Pam]

Write off the likes of Adebayor as a loss and get this bloke in.

 

[LoveCity]

This is the new Bale thread, no convincing links to him and everyone desperate to sign him. I'd love him here but he is the best paid Italian in Serie A and loves Rome so right now it's clutching at straws a bit and here's hoping one of our resident ITKs tells us we're seriously after him.

The only possible attraction for him will be if he has any personal ambition at club level, he's seriously underachieved due to his club loyalty like an Italian Gerrard but even worse (Gerrard has won the Champions League, FA Cup, and UEFA Cup, De Rossi has just won the two Italian cups). I don't think we'll ever go for him if we don't try again this window.

What's wrong with his arm by the way? What's up with the long sleeve and bandage?

A true warrior he is. And add to that a very good footballer. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if he had anything to do with Mario's attitude and behaviour these past weeks.

He said he had a tattoo with a political statement that he means should remain private.
I think it looks cool and could start a trend :D

Keith Lemon is his hero.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

What a machine. When he moved further back to screen the back four, there was a five second period when he made two incredible tackles.

Him, Marchisio, Montolivo and Pirlo, everything you want in footballers.

We simply must bid for De Rossi.

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.
