I honestly hope this doesn't happen, because it would only strengthen the rumors of Luiz moving to Barca or Napoli ... ... and Luiz is better than De Rossi!

There's really no connection between Luiz leaving and DR coming IMO.

And DR is much better in DM probably and he's got like 2-3 good years, while Luiz is a promising CB with many more years to improve and become a beast.

Not sure if I agree with that or not! I think Luiz is a workhorse in DM, and can do good if not better in that position than DR can ... scores exceptional goals from there as well, just look at the ones against Fulham and Basel as examples!

And let's not forget... he enjoys his football and is one of the happiest football players in the Premier League..

Italian midfielders struggle in the BPL (in 'this' generation anyway.. I know RDM and Zola were gods back in the 90s), but just have a look at how Aquilani faired for the bindippers!

I dunno I cant remember Luiz being so good in a game against a team like United, Everton, City, Arsenal ...

He's very good there against lower side teams because he can run freely and join the attack, he also manages to defend well.

But I feel that DR will bring something else to our game, more domination, control, power, experience..

He was actually playing CB for that goal if I'm not mistaken.

Also, the greatest thing about having De Rossi in midfield is that it allows us to release Luiz as an unorthodox, auxiliary attacking weapon from CB, which is really a bonus to the whole team as it gives opposition one more threat to look after - which in turn opens and frees up more space for the likes of Mata, Hazard, Oscar and whoever is playing up front. Luiz can go forward with more ease as De Rossi will be adequately able to fill in when he goes on one of his adventures.

I think De Rossi would also compliments Oscar (who's future I see in the pivot) well in the pivot and adds much needed grit in our midfield.

I'd be all for this signing if we got him for a decent price.

i wouldve signed him in a heartbeat years ago, but im not sure now??? is he still on the level tht he was in years before????

You are right, but our team is full of young players, so a great, experienced, charismatic player could be a good singing, just like Ballack was in 2006. We need leaders!

I would have him here in an instant. Question is how much would he be worth and would he be willing to move here?

He probably isn't as good as he was 2/3 years ago but he can't be far off from that level. Would a nice stop gap too of RLC continues his rapid development and provide some much needed experience.

Chelsea officially contacted Roma for De Rossi. Roma keen to sell. Hoping for 20m €,could accept 15m €. Still no bid. De Rossi has to decide

EDIT: Beaten to it, but I've got a picture of Tancredi so I win :Goober:
