True. You'd think that Rossi (Note his first name Giuseppe, and last name is Rossi, not Mark Elliott, Johnson) was a pure American and of an American parents, American grandparents and of roots to the great Abraham Lincoln, but chose to represent Italy because he was offered a free spaghetti dish.
They are American, and Rossi considers himself American all but on the pitch.

Go join a fucking Manchowder forum.

Andy, your reasoning is shocking. It reminds me of Fred saying that he'd hate an Israeli signed for Arsenal and that he'd never like him to succeed in the club he loves. Didn't you laugh at him? I remember you did because it was laughable indeed. You hate the player? That's fine but to say that what he'd said about his nationality makes him a mentally unstable guy is ridiculous. He can't get his priorities straight? Ok, what would Juve benefit if he somehow manages to do that? What would we lose if he fails to do so as you suggest? What does it have to do with his qualities as a player? Why can't you trust him? Even better, why should you trust him at all?

Nah, the guy is alright. He is a very very good player and having him here would be great. You are the one who needs to get your facts straight. You need to draw a line between what Rossi has chosen for his footballing career (he was given the right to choose) and the qualities which make him a great footballer.

All of you guys are hating on Rossi for the wrong fucking reasons. Get over it that he didn't choose to play for the fucking U.S. Open your eyes a little and see what he can do for our club. He's a great player, and if we were to sign him we would add alot of quality to our attack.

The "he'll fail in Serie A" card is just stupid. What makes Aguero, Benzema, Tevez, etc. any different?

...Fuck.

I'm an Italian American, and I had no problem with his decision. As I had stated a long time ago in regards to this, if I had a son and he was good enough to play for Italy, then more power to him.

From La Liga? Probably not, no. I could name several players who are in a similar position but they wouldn't be on our radar at all. You actually think the whole Italian "identity" doesn't play a major role in our interest in Rossi?

That's what makes it pathetic. He's only Italian on the pitch, not anywhere else, and he's coveted more than better players like Aguero.

Again, dude. I don't mean any disrespect in saying this, but you'll never understand my view on Rossi until you support your own nation. You'll never understand how someone like me could not trust a player who can't seem to get his priorities straight.

Seriously, you are joke of a poster whenever the name Rossi is whispered anywhere. Wtf has that ANYTHING to do with Rossi being a VERY GOOD PLAYER who has had a great season, to degree that Barca want to sign him for big bucks. Why the fuck wouldnt a player like this be in our radar? He is only because of his nationality? Jesus, do you even read what you type?

Here's something you wouldn't understand, Hoori. I choose country before club. Rossi is a traitor to my nation as far as I'm concerned, so I don't care how good he is. He could be Zidane reincarnated -- I don't care. I'll never support the player. He's a confused dolt who should be staring for a popular reality TV show.

Last time I checked, I'm free to dislike someone. Let me check again. Yep, still free to hate the player. And I will, regardless of what some Iranian Azzurri fan says. That's your problem right there.

I'm quoting this below to emphasize its the only thing that matters, not the rest of the pathetic nonsense mentionned.

I don't think his nationality, and how he chooses to identify himself should be a reason why people disregard Rossi coming to Juventus. He's a quality player, and can fill in that SS position that we need.

    You choose your country before club Andy.
    You didn't give a rats ass about Camoranesi.

    I suppose you don't want Balotelli in Juve either?

    What about Mix Diskerud?

    What a sad piece of hypocritical theory you support Andy.

    Mix chose us and I'm glad he did. Your loss. Oh wait, you don't care about your own country anyway, you glory hunt for Italy. Period.

    What a load of nonsense in this thread.

    Rossi is a quality player, borderline worldclass. We are all supporters of Juventus here, regardless of our nationality. When considering Juventus and players 2 things matter, the players mentality and the players ability. Rossi's ability is unquestionable, everywhere he has played he has scored goals, and throughout the years he has shown that as each season passes he has improved. He's scored goals in Italy, Spain and England not to mention internationally. The guy chose to represent Italy over USA, maybe for shady reasons and I can see how that would upset Americans, but the fact of the matter is he would be a massive improvement on what we have and he has a number of years ahead of him. This nationality nonsense is getting old...

    As far as I know, Mix wouldn't fit the Drillo NT.
    My country doesn't have a football team. I supported Azzurri before I supported Juve.

    Isn't Diskerud a traitor like Rossi? Only difference is that Rossi didn't choose you, and Diskerud did.

    Sorry, but that's hypocritical bullshit.

    He could be a traitor to Norwegians, sure. They have a right to think that, just like I do with Rossi.

    Rossi is a traitor to the country that sheltered his family from poverty and starvation in their homeland and gave them opportunities for prosperity but at the end of the day its just a game. I understand and agree with what Andy is saying theoretically, but its just a game.
