People why are we all jumping on Rossi off the back of Joe Dolce????
What's-a MATA you? Hey!


True, but that is speculative at best. At least Rossi's forename is in the song and it is sung by an American born italian.

Bap Bap Americano and all that. Not to mention the colours Pink and Orange.

Got to love cryptic, you could find 10 different answers and not know which is the right one!

Hmmmm...

Goal are reporting that Rossi wants 5m euros a year from Juve; not sure we could get even close to that...

http://www.goal.com/en/news/11/tran...s-giuseppe-rossi-wants-5m-a-year-deal-to-join

You do realise that isn't all that much for a player of his quality and not too much more than we currently pay (and certainly what IOTK suggests we would give Luka if he weren't such a disloyal ****) ?

On the basis that Levy can give a bigger singing on fee to get around the issue of high weekly wages, i have no doubt that we would do a deal to give him 5m euro a year.

Hmmm Rossi would be awesome but not getting my hopes up.

Ideal scenario re strikers would be

Defoe out Rossi in
Keane out Vucinic in
Crouch out (possible loan) Adebayor in (loan)

That would be pretty spectacular and also highly unlikely lol

I'd still prefer Vucinic to Rossi. Of course if it was both then fantastic, but I really can't see us spending 50m on two new strikers.


Usally I can't. However we haven't spent big for a really long time. Our last window when we spent big was January 09 when we signed Defoe, Keane and Palacios. But in the windows since then we haven't spent that much.

€96000 a week? Yes we can.

"Rossi, here is €80000 a week and a €3m signing on fee to cover the rest." etc etc.

That's about £85k p/w. I think we can probably swing that.

That's £85k a week. Not a big stretch for us - maybe £10k more than Modric is currently on.

Rossi is on low wages at Villarreal, so wanting to double them isn't a show stopper for us.


I'm sure I read somewhere he was being offerd that money Net so you can whack another 50% on those figures which may make the difference

I still dont get it chaps. Why are you all getting boners over Rossi? He's not what we need! We've got VDV who can play that role better that him anyway.

Vucinic is spot on. I'm also intrigued by Papiss Cisse, although I haven't seen much of him.
