Wishlist Daniele de Rossi

[hjperdeath 2,226]

Don't really think it is happening though. If it does, we have more depth and there is no complaints, atleast on our side. A surprise after the game would be nice but.

One has to reckon, having players like Mikel, van Ginkel, the ex-bison in a midfield that has seen Lampard, Deco, Ballack, The Bison, Makelele is the mother of all downgrades. De Rossi would bring a bit of glamour back

You should., he got your entire midfield in his pocket at several occasions at Old Trafford - even though he completely lost it at others.

Btw. how confident are you going in the next season? Doesn't it worry you that last season a Chelsea team which was far from vintage dominated you in all 5 encounters and would have won all 5 if it wasn't for some very dodgy refereeing? The one thing I always admired about Utd was their incredible killer-instinct and ability to grind out result while being completely outplayed. I also associated this ability with Ferguson...not so with Moyes. Meanwhile you missed out on Strootman, Fabregas and will most probably miss out on Modric, too. If you still had ferguson, I would be sure you would compete despite your average squad, but now I can't see you catch up with City's killer team.

Don't forget the portugues Tiago that was no slouch either.

With MvG keep showing us his best, it's getting more obvious that we wont get de rossi

Not if we sell Mikel to Galatasaray ...

... I do hope that deal goes through and we get De Rossi because Mikel is just absolutely useless at the moment ...

... the same can be said about Essien really.. he looked lost against Roma, but keeping him is vital if we want to have defensive midfield options.

Indeed..

Let's just hoping that jose really knows the best things for our midfield area.

What does KTBFFH means in your sig?

He's going nowhere near Stamford Bridge.

Might as well close this thread... More chance of signing Rooney

[chopchop 68]

As much as I like DDR, we have 5 players already available to fill 2 positions. Van Ginkel was our midfield signing, and it's looking to be a damn good one.

[Tomo 21,733]

Got to say i like the thought of DDR, Rami and MVG rotating pivot roles. Mikel, Essien and Lampard can back them up in that respect.

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

Still

----De Rossi

Ramires--Lamps

would be one awesome midfield. Just like the good old one with Maka and Ess.

Preseason has indicated that 4-3-3 will still play a part and for a mid 3, 5 players are not enough. And you can't rely on Essien and van Ginkel (yet) in big matches, so no one should mind DDR here.

Nonetheless, I reckon he is not coming.

What does KTBFFH means in your sig?

Seriously???

[DH1988 1,273]

Just the prospect of seeing

DDR

Ramires-Oscar

Wow..

[Special Juan 27,424]

So do we think it's significant he isn't included?

[BlueLion. 21,491]

As I said earlier in this thread, DDR at £10 million for 2-3 years would be fantastic business. But it's likely Roma will command an inflated fee, and now we have MvG for potentially 5-6 years in that position, do we need him?

Nope. Spend the money elsewhere.

[Azpinator 2,325]

I want this to happen so bad..

Transfer news: Daniele De Rossi omission from Roma squad fuels rumours of a transfer to Chelsea as Wallace heads to Italy

[Special Juan 27,424]

Hopefully.

Please! I want to see this sexy beast as one of the first names on our team sheet with either Ramires or MvG next to him. We'd finally be able to boss the midfield and not have to constantly see Cech and Luiz hoofing it long from the back a hundred times each match.
