Wishlist Daniele de Rossi

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Available for £12.8m supposedly. There was an article on Gazzetta della Sport, which has been removed from the website.

I really thought we would not go for older players because of our policy.

But with Mourinho coming back is a good thing if this happens. As it will show what we really need the most.

Our team is nearing completion bar that one top dm. Mikel is just good enough for a squad player and that's all he will be.

But this guy might be the final piece we are missing.

If you take a look back at Mourinho Chelsea I would say that the most important player in that formation was Maka.

Take him out and the whole foundation comes crashing down.

Not many people notice it but the role of his skills as dm was what made the difference from attack to defense.

He's 30, haven't been his old self this season and is on the decline. Roma realize that and want to do the smart thing and cash in on him while his reputation is still good.

[Billy. 2,742]

Ermmm yes please.

[Leif 6,006]

Fuck that 'argument' which starts off most posts saying we shouldn't get him by stating what age he is. Just look at Arsenal for following that exact mentality of "young kidz rule da worlsd!!!". That is all.

Roma midfielder, Daniele De Rossi could be heading to Chelsea for around €15m [Gazzetta dello Sport].

Hopefully this is true, he can give us that little bit of steel in the midfield. Really tired seeing our midfield get run over.

Modric-De Rossi pivot would be darn good. Creative CMF with tough DMF, perfect.

[Jype 6,398]

This guy is better than Yaya Toure and that's saying a lot. No more getting over-run in midfield if we get DDR. Him alongside a playmaker would get us the title, even with Torres up front.

[nono 791]

When did the word pivot start getting used so much ?

If you follow the Link to La Gazetta, it's just the old story from May 14 that we could be interested in him. There's been nothing new in this story since. The shedender just reposted it today to get some traffic to their site..

It's a reasonable price and his drop in form has not been close to as big as people on here makes it sound like, not being able to adjust to Zemans kamikaze tactics isn't really an indicator that he wouldn't be a very good solution for Chelseas midfield problems.

Think we got a few players who would be hilariously bad trying to play like this too.

Lmao what kinda play is that?

First time I've ever seen this in pro football.

It's Zemanlandia! He got fired in February for a reason haha, but it makes for highly entertaining games.

But yeah, Rossi played under that for most of the season and then a few months and then played under their assistant manager for the rest of it, I really would not judge anyone from Roma too much on this season especially players that has showed their class as consistently as Rossi before.

[Melanicus 5,208]

My favorite non-Chelsea footballer right now. Him and Alonso are so good in my opinion. So yeah, I'd absolutely love him here.

This guy is mental & badass. Get him.

No. We can't play this man in midfield because he's not been on loan to Watford or Swansea. Without that valuable experience, he simply can't be trusted.
