I am not anti-Italian. I love Buffon, Del Piero, Chiellini, and the list goes on.
Rossi just doesn't cut it for me; he won't make that much of an impact here, because he simply isn't as good as some people make him out to be. He is a good, solid player, but not a marquee signing, and definitely not an heir to the number 10 jersey.
As it stands, Brazil and Argentina have far more talent than anything Italy has to offer, so yes, I would take Neymar, Aguero, and Sanchez, just to name a few over this little punk. It's not as if we are talking about the next Baggio or the new Del Piero here.
