De Rossi

[Bill]

de rossi is worth at least 30M in the currrent market - he's a world class performer - up there in the bracket of ibra (not that i rate ibra) but he's up there.

any offer less than this amount is an insult to roma really and we should be quite rightly told to piss off.

At 29 years of age 30 million is way way over the top, as good as he is and i think he would be a fantastic player for ourselves sadly he is as good as he will get and possibly at 29 just past his best

Cant see Roma selling unless they need the dosh

all clubs need the dosh, only us and psg wadded. oh and those russians but they dont count.even adebayor would'nt go there.

Bluemoon last week "City would never spunk 20-30mill on a 28 nearly 29yr old RVP"

Bluemoon this week "City need to sign this player-class,quality etc etc"

So last week we would never blow this sort of money yet this week we would. Some fans seriously need to stop living on every bit of bullshit the press spread.

De rossi will not be signing for us at those prices.

He was 29 a few days ago. Barring major injury, I'd be surprised if he didn't have at least 3 more top seasons in him. If we can get him for £20 - £22 mill, we'd be crazy not to.

Wow, every member of the forum said those things? Crikey.

Don't talk stupid.

St Helens Blue didn't say it, so there's at least one...

Nonsense.

He is Italian, we would probabily get another 4 or 5 years out of him at least..

Top top player..

 

[Tricky Dickys Right Foot Shot]

We need a replacement for NDJ if he is going! But £30M for a 29 year old? Pur-leaseeee highway robbery!

 

[Rammyblues]

I would pay whatever Roma wanted for this guy, don't care about his age and whether it would be in excess of 30m, if we signed him, RVP and Agger you could almost guarantee last 4 in CL and we would be the team to beat in prem league. Bearing in mind Chelsea got 60m for winning CL worth his weight in gold. Only problem is I can't see it happening.

We'll be the team to beat with or without de Rossi. There are no gurantees in the champions league. Spunking 30 mill on a 29 year old is stupid, I have faith we won't do it, as good as he is

 

[True_Blue69]

Didn't Tolmie say this was a non-starter?

Oh well if Tolmie says so then it mustn't be haopening.....

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Isn't he out of action until 2013 due to injury?

 

[Benarbia]

Ive heard and it can be taken with a pinch of salt. But we had an agreement with the player that due to his love for the club he would sign a new contract to enable the club to profit from him when we sign him this summer

 

[Nevizade]

No mate that's Giuseppe Rossi who played against us for Villarreal last season.

 

[sam-caddick]

This could be a deadline day signing if it was to happen.

Pleeeeeeaaase Daniele, come to City!!

This would not surprise me.

 

[Coljj]

If De Rossi has a gentlemens agreement with Roma it should be in the form of a release clause.

Something like '€30m to any non Italian club' sounds fair.

 

[cemosabie]

does anybody know why he wears one long sleeve and one short one when he plays ?
is he covering a tattoo?

Could be wrong here but I think he has a political tattoo and keeps it covered up. I'm sure I read somewhere on here that he is a member or supporter of a right wing party

 

[tomhawley]

He was protecting an injury in euros - was actually a normal short sleeve shirt with a long sleeve under armour with 1 arm cut off - granted it looked like a proper shirt sleeve
