Of course he is, Rossi is the most likely yet to actually become a great player based on Villarreal. But let's get real here, hype is permanent in this business and hype doesn't prove a thing.
So far Rossi isn't even equal to Iaquinta let alone Trez. The rest is pure hype, speculation, wishful thinking. It'd be one thing to say let's replace Trez with Villa. Villa is superb, definitely a worthy successor. But some kid who's had a couple of good seasons and everyone hopes will be the next star because Italy desperately needs one? Please.
