Wild Speculation and Rumouryness.

Just think, signing's from now on can be classed as 'Going to win medals' rather than 'Just for the money'.

I hear what you're saying but the lazy journalists will still keep only banging on about the money.

It sounds to me like the press have asked him in the build up to the England v Italy game something along the like of "what do you think about the English Premiership?"

He said: "I have received many offers from English football. And I must say that I feel attraction for it.

"I like English football very much. I think now it's probably more interesting than Italian football.

"There are lots of outstanding and talented players, as is the case for Spain as well."

More a case of being polite than of joining us! He has just signed a five year deal so I can't see him moving any time soon.

you hit the nail on the head here mate. i'm sure this is exactly how it went in this case

Maybe, but if Yaya Toure or Silva said something similar about Spain or Italy, there'd be plenty of people on here & about 10,000 on Bluemoon who would be absolutely convinced they were leaving.

Maybe Roma needs money and instead of selling him to one of the rivals, they prefere to do that abroad.

But sill, i think too that this is probably italian news crap.

that's the sole possible chance of seeing him parting from his beloved giallorossi.
since the american take over it seems very improbable, tho.

I obviously would love it, as everyone half sensed, but...

The new contract he signed at Christmas may have included a buyout clause signed out of loyalty, thus enabling his home club to get a decent fee but also allowing him to leave if said fee is met .

Don't want de Rossi unless we get him on the cheap. The club are obviously looking at development and long term sustainability without spending big every year.

How does de rossi fit into that plan?

Does mancini get much imput on signings?

He doesn't fit in the typical plan but it may be that Bob will be allowed to sign one or two older players to try & get the Champion's Lg, if they are deemed important enough.

The only way De Rossi is coming in is if Roma fuck him off, in my opinion. Oh, and if we sell Nige.
