Love De Rossi but we don't need him and he's not worth 35mil Euro. It's got to be bollox.
I think we need an upgrade on Barry but I want someone in the playmaker mould - Modric, Fabregas, Nasri, Sneijder, Pastore, Ozil, Hamsik - I don't think we need a 'win it, give it' type player which is what De Rossi is.

He's not worth 35M probably but if someone wanted him they would need a silly offer to convince the new American board to sell, otherwise they'd start their adventure in Rome with the wrong foot alienating the fans by selling one of their favourites (even if he's been criticised a lot this season); as for the kind of player he is, I guess he's not in the playmaker mould you mention if those are the players you go by, but he's hardly a "win it, give it" player either; he just plays that way in Roma because he plays alongside Pizarro who is the real playmaker of the team, but De Rossi has good playmaking abilities of his own if he's given the freedom to use it and get forward he can be very useful, also as a goalscoring threat on set pieces, long shots and getting into space to finish a team move. He's been limited in that by the duties Roma's coaches have given him in the last couple of seasons though.

Perhaps 'win it, give it' does him a disservice but there is no doubt that he is more water carrier than playmaker.

Inter Milan are monitoring Tevez’s situation and believe the appointment of former Argentina coach Marcelo Bielsa as their new boss can persuade the striker to move to Italy.

As far as rumours go this is the most ridiculous I have heard because Villa is worth so much more. Barca are no way that desperate to get Sanchez in that they would let Villa go for that amount. I hate these rumours myself but you can't help but skip a heartbeat when you hear David Villa and Man City in the same sentence!
