Not this again. Didn't he do the same cryptic last window and we had everyone guessing for days!!!

I'm not on COYS but is it possible that someone has dug out an old thread and posted on it, therefore bumping up PoTL's old itk?

He posted that before during the transfer window.
We may return for Rossi, why not after going for him in January, it makes sense to go after the same targets.
But with rumoured interest from BArca (no idea why they need him) we dont stand much of a chance.

The only way Barca aren't getting Rossi is if they are blowing all their money on Fabregas and Sanchez?

Which it appears they are, they said publicly they only have 45 million euros net to spend hence could be looking for player swap deals eg Bojan to Udinese and Thiago to Arsenal

Ha ha. He seems he's been around for a millennia but is probably about 22...

I'd actually prefer Falcao over Rossi, though to be fair either one of those would be a considerable upgrade on what we have currently.

Just to add to what I wrote earlier

Drogba and falcao are both realistic targets, but both come with stumbling blocks. Drogba would need to instigate the move as far as Chelsea are concerned and even then, the feeling is that they would refuse a move to another English club. He would also want an awful lot of money. Were working on it

Falcao is a bit more intresting. By all accounts in comes down to brinkmanship. They want around 27m euros. We want him. Arsenal want him. Teams from Spain and Italy do also. However we see the goons as the main rivals. I think we are trying to avoid a heads up. They also want benzema. If they get him the coast would seem clear for falcao. We would then be able to drive a harder bargain. I don't think we are being tight, were just looking at which option is gonna work out most viable

Leandro will sign. However we have asked to be kept abreast of the wickham situation.

Hold on though, could be American=Freddy Adu?

No.

Really no.

In fact if it were possible to make no any more definitive, consider this the time that that maximum definitive-ness be reached. :up:

POTL hasleft two cryptics now and they are clearly linked. He means Rossi.

If Barca do sign Sanchez then maybe Rossi would consider us, but I can't see it. If he came here after having his heart set of Barca he would probably be depressed for a good year or so.

It might have been the £34m quoted :shrug:

That was part of it, other reasons were;

- he's too small
- he "failed" at Utd
- Fergie never sells a good player
- doesn't score enough goals

No doubt from people that haven't watched a single game of his for Villarreal.

Harry would take Rossi over anyone in my opinion.

Barcelona have got 45m to spend

Fabregas Sanchez and Rossi?
Not in today's market
