Anyway, why does it matter what nationality he is?

You either think he is a good enough player or you don't.

Why did you say this then?
I don't want to fill our team with Italians, that's true, but the key point was that Rossi isn't a 'game-changer'. If we have the opportunity to sign a non-Italian SS, he should be better than G. Rossi, if not, then Rossi would be fine.

Nationality is relevant in this case because we do have a tendency to sign mediocre Italian players. We should be signing players based on merit, not nationality, but that's not what we're doing.

Why not?

You would find objectionable if Juve fielded a world class team that was made up only of Italians (not possible at the moment, clearly)?
You said it, that's why.

If there were the likes of Baggio's, Del Piero's and Totti's around, I'd surely love to. I have nothing against Italians, obviously I'm a Juve fan afterall.

Pirlo should just shut the fuck up and mind his own business; that of playing consistently good football and trying to stay injury free. As for Rossi, yeah he is good, but nowhere near the kind of signing that is required to draw crowds and excite the fans, at least in my own humble opinion. He is 2 steps behind the likes of Aguero and Messi, and probably a notch below Sanchez, Neymar and even Pastore in terms of potential and appeal.

I said in terms of potential and appeal. A signing that would excite the fans. Aguero is not as good as Messi, but then again no one is. Messi is in a class of his own, perhaps even a level above Ronaldo.

Edit: I meant to say Aguero and Tevez; players we are/were linked with.
