No chance of De Rossi. If he and Roma wanted the deal it would've happened already. He's not coming. That ship has sunk.

Edited.
 
The times I watched him in the CL he was great at breaking up play and technically very good but I didn't see any evidence of him having an Alonso or De Rossi-esque passing range. Maybe someone who has seen him more can comment, he struck me as a very good midfield hard-man, not a mix of hard-man and deep-lying playmaker that we perhaps need.

I've not seen him there but apparently he can fill in at CB.

That would be a Brucie bonus

I still think Mancini will have something up his sleeve regarding this guy.

I can't believe I'm gonna say this (even worse if he we did get him), but we need to forget this man. He's Roma all the way. He will only leave one way.... if Roma tell him "please leave, its too much money to refuse and we could build an excellent team with this money".

No other way. Throw in 40 of the worlds hottest women, the highest paid salary of any footballer hell even a palace in UAE and he would say no. We will have to offer a MONSTER bid to Roma, one to rival Ronaldo...yes that fookin big!

So lets go for the Garcia!

The thing is though, if we are actually getting desperate for signings in the defensive mid position, I would rather City do the desperation on De Rossi and offer a not to be refused bid.

Roma will sell if the price is right. Every player has a price at the end of the day, it's De Rossi holding the loyalty to Roma, not Roma holding loyalty to De Rossi. Romas owners are business people, if a good offer comes up on deadline day, they might persuade De Rossi to leave in my opinion.

Like you said, Roma could get an offer from us and with the money they could build a good team for the future with.
 
No better than De Jong and would be a waste of £25m. We dont desperately need a dm/cm so we can still with NDJ and then see if someone we want is available next summer.
I'd be very disappointed if our summer signings where Rodwell, Sinclair and Garcia but thats what happens when you dont spend big money.

I agree partially with that. Garcia is a waste for 25m as well as Martinez. Rather get Capoue for much more cheaper.

I honestly dont believe that we had to spend big money - Rodwelll looks like he is going to do a job, but not identifying replacments for DJ and Kolo is ridiculas - in this new era of financial prudence we are 3 days away from 10 - 12 Million pounds of players walking out the door for fuck all in January, buying Garcia would cost 25 Million less what we got for DJ, next year we have to pay the full amount be that Garcia or another same for Kolo.

I hoestly think there is something more going on here - its almost as thought our owners are no longer prepared to invest / spend money or whatever why is anybodies guess

I can't believe that we will spend money with Garcia, when we have NDJ and Rodwell!!!!

And Garcia is too lazy for a CB.

That's a good description. The only thing I may add is that Alonso in RM has more freedom as Mourinho plays in 4-2-3-1, in Benfica Jorge Jesus mostly uses 4-1-3-2 and based on that Javi role is less offensive, he stays back and sometimes drops to CB when Benfica has the ball and uses 3-5-2.
