CHOULO19 24,332 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beepu 1,714 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hopefully this is true, he can give us that little bit of steel in the midfield. Really tired seeing our midfield get run over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusek 2,031 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Modric-De Rossi pivot would be darn good. Creative CMF with tough DMF, perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been nothing new in this story since. The shedender just reposted it today to get some traffic to their site.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculatingInfinity 1,472 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 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.

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 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 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.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvXlNlWCoJ4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculatingInfinity 1,472 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Btw, is he also a good long ball passer \ crosser ?A very fine passer of the ball, not so sure about crosses, I mean it's not exactly like he often finds himself on the wing, he's certainly not a Ramires kind of midfielder that can also be used on the wing.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Btw, is he also a good long ball passer \ crosser ?What De Rossi is famous for is his physical abilities and dynamism on the pitch. His technical abilities are good enough but were never world-class. He's a good passer, but that's not exactly what he's famous for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
