Wishlist Daniele de Rossi

[Leif 6,006]

Ah, I've actually heard about Roma wanting Wallace all season. Go for it. Good deal.

Doesn't everyone clear their locker at the end of the season ?

Don't want to get my hopes up and be disappointed.

haha wouldve been funny if they left out some information "Yesterday De Rossi cleared his dressing room at the training center...... along with 20 of this teammates because its the end of the season".

here he is this season putting in a pretty good showing against one of the best midfields in europe

i have no doubt he is still a top player

He rejected City last year who were apparently offering in excess of £30 million and around £130k a/w in wages. De Rossi peaked 2 years ago, but he's still quality and the Roma team generally weren't great last year. This would be the cheapest you could get De Rossi for a while now, so economically speaking I guess it's an ideal time. He would be a big loss to them, and Serie A for that matter, but their loss would be our gain. Midfielders like him, especially Italian midfielders, can go on for a few years. I would imagine Mourinho and the Chelsea team as a whole would love having a gladiator like De Rossi in the team. The more I think about it the more I like the idea. If he does decide to leave I'd welcome him with open hands.

Sorry but 30 yeas old in a month's time & his salary is near £200k. Very good player but next!

I think he's on £105k a week and City offered him that £200k which he rejected.

Rumours that De Rossi will be signing for Chelsea at 10m + Wallace on loan to Roma deal.

Yes please.

Yes please.

I second that.

[The Skipper 20,609]

That would be a top deal, especially if we keep his wages at ~100k. £10m is a Makelele esque signing.

The only reason why would he join Chelsea is Mou. He gets enough money (he aint money freak ala Falcao), he loves italy, rome. He has no italian friends here. He is 30 and wont move to big club to make his career 'flourish'. The only way of him want to join us is because he might want to work with Mourinho and his project.

[Leif 6,006]

He'll move. I'm positive. Roma have treated him awful this season and it's no longer the Roma he's used to. The team is full of, no offence to them, heartless pussies full of individual errors and with Totti's next season apparently being his last it'd be wise to leave before they collapse any further. Roma are sickeningly bad when it comes to transfers which is such a shame considering I really like them.

De Rossi's smart. He won't stick around just because it's called "AS Roma". The owners have changed, the board has changed, the crest has changed, they continue to lose, they treat him like we did Malouda almost, so yeah. Bring him in.

I think the reason he didn't move to Man City is because things were looking promising. A new Lamela, new manager etc. all looked good. Then Borini was banging in goals, everything looked like a bright future. Now they've got rid of Borini, are getting rid of Osvaldo, Destro isn't expected to be retained and their only targets are the likes of Matri.

No offence but surely De Rossi would like to play for a top club before he retires.

Mourinho has the midas touch. :

I think you are really overestimating the pull a manager has when it comes to things like this. Jose CAN probably attract players like no other (except Guardiola), but if De Rossi leaves, the biggest reason will be because he realizes Roma need to sell him. After that it's probably the chance to win something at a club level
