Ibra11 11 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 rossi had 2 acl tears in a single year. his career at the very top is over. besides he wont be ready to play for another 3-4 months. and we already have 2 other average strikers in lukaku and sturridge.

Jype 6,398 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Gussiepi Rossi would be a bargain now that Villarreal got relegated.. would cost 10 million if anything. Sign him, Moses and Azpilicueta, probably cost less than Cavani by himself.Last October he had a surgery to his knee and was out for six months and when he finally resumed training in April he injured the same knee again and is now out till next year so he could be bought in January at the earliest. A player who's missed 16 months of football is a massive gamble and we should stay far away. gr123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 In 2005/2006 Drogba played 41 games while Crespo played 42.2006/2007 Drogba played 60 games while Sheva played 51In these seasons, we played quite a lot of games with 2 strikers. Not the case this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would've fitted in like a glove. TorresMata - Hazard - Rossi. Shame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utd pulled out of the deal and then purchased him the following year!That was like 10 yrs ago and 10 yrs is forever in medical science!It's not as big a gamble as you think, especially as he is young and injuries heal quicker. If he was 28+ I would agree...Sounds perfect IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crespo got disillusional with life at the Bridge, the same could happen with Cavani and Torres IMO. There's no need in us splashing the cash on a striker unless Torres is leaving, that's just my opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many players have come on top in their battles against these horrible knee injuries, especially if suffered at an early age and I'm not saying Rossi is done or anything and maybe he can return to playing football at the very top but at the moment his future is very much unclear and that's a shame. He will stay at Villarreal for at least one more season and if he returns successfully in six months or so and plays the rest of the season in the Spanish Segunda Division without injuries then maybe some club will take gamble with him but definitely not this year. Basically a high risk, high reward type of situation with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky 301 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I know it would be a risky move but IF (and that's a big if) he could prove his fitness i would look at rossi. Having been injured all of last season and with villareal relegated i can't see him commanding a large fee.He is still young with plenty of time to come back from his injuries, and is a player who was being mooted for a £30m move to barcelona only 12-18 months ago.We could get him, moses and azpilicueta for less than cavani - then job done and squad complete.Risky but could be worth a gamble. Nice call... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kajo 176 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Cavani would be like dream signing but I think Napoli won't sell him cheap especially when they sold Lavezzi already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouNameIt 1,511 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Cavani would be like dream signing but I think Napoli won't sell him cheap especially when they sold Lavezzi already.YOu are right, they wont. They even said they can sell Cavani for 100m, that he isnt worth that, but that 100m is what he is worth to Napoli. Meaning: if anyone wants to buy him it has to be an insane offer. Id think we would have to splash out between 40-50m pounds to land him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
