LDN Blue 7,903 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Roma sporting director Walter Sabatini has confirmed Daniele De Rossi will be offered a new contract.De Rossi, 27, has just one year remaining on his contract and has been linked with a move to Chelsea as a replacement for the injured Michael Essien.However, Sabatini remains optimistic that De Rossi will extend his contract with his hometown club."We are working with the maximum calmness," he said. "I have spoken to Daniele. We will speak to his agent and we will make an offer."De Rossi suggested that he had become disillusioned with life at the club in March, although there have since been huge changes.Source: ESPNPublished: 13th July Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clevemayer 764 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 nice player better than montolivo would be a good addition young and good potential would be a superb deal for around 15 Millions... should be a good cover for Mikel so we only need another one to cover for Ramy...hope he dosen't sign a new contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Armour 4,449 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Time to lock the thread I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Abramovich 175 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Why does everyone say time to lock thread, he has one year on his contract and he's apparently unhappy so this is far from over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I agree with St Abramovich, Tottenham won't sell their star midfielder either, yet no ones says lock the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that back in March. Since then they've undergone a bit of a makeover. New owners, new manager, new signings have all made a positive impact at Roma. Luis Enrique will excite their fans quite a bit and might be critical in De Rossi staying.. It is his hometown club remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmax 9,219 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 DDR is Roma, much like Totti. A better deal and the sentimental value about staying on with his hometown club will pour cold water over any move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshyboy 36 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I personally think De Rossi would be a great signing he's got everything, he can create from the back end of the midfield hes got all the defensive qualities you could ask for, hes passionate (for Roma at least) hes a commanding presence on the pitch his long range shooting is pretty damn good If I'm not much mistaken hes a World Cup winning captain. With the ability to shore up the defense, create play from the back and blast in long range goals from nothing I'd put him right up there with this transfer windows must haves.Admittedly his chances of leaving Roma are very slim indeed, but nothing to stop us trying, I'm a huge Essien fan, but with all the injuries and the lack of any real form for the past two seasons maybe its time we let him go? No actually, I wouldn't got that far, but none the less I think De Rossi would be a bloody magnificent signing!Also...HAS ANYONE SEEN HIS BEARD?!

Cannavaro was captain of Italy and there would be a few players ahead of de Rossi, he was like Lamps when it comes to international captaincy.

True_Blue 469 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Lock the thread because Roma said he is not for sale? Right,we should close the topic Modrić since Tottenham said he is not for sale like 20 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
