Would someone tell me briefly how close we are right now to Rossi?

We are not remotely close to Rossi.

We are not that close to Aguero. *less than 50/50 probably.

As for the Argentinian joining Manchester City, I'd say that is a complete non starter.
He wants to move up to a big club. At the moment Manchester City is to Manchester United what Atletico is to Real. I'm pretty sure that he would not wish to play at another club that lives in the shadow of an illustrious neighbour.

Add to that the fact that Carlos Tevez will have given him enough information at the Copa America tournament to make him shudder at the thought, *he will quickly realize that he would be jumping straight out of the frying pan into the fire. A fire that is now a ranging inferno following the Tevez statement yesterday asserting his desire to leave Manchester.

If I were a betting man, I'd put money on SA going to Chelsea as a long term replacement for Drogba. Well, 3 years!!!

Fuck Rossi, and fuck this guy:

There are some elements in this blog I do not agree with, but I could not agree more that Juventus should opt for Rossi over Aguero.

Rossi is a far superior footballer and has played well in multiple leagues, most notably in Serie A (kind of important considering where Juventus is) - in reality people only rate Aguero because he is a young Argentine second striker also known as, as Diego would say, "The-New-Me" - in case people don't know, there are a lot of them who aren't Messi or Tevez. He has been built up into something he is not only due to the fact that La Liga gets more exposure than Serie A.

People may argue that Serie A sides are weaker and their "evidence" of this is 'they haven't done well in the Champions League in recent years', aside from the teams that actually won it. But is La Liga any different? Aside from Barcelona winning, what has the rest of the league done? This season was the first year since 2004 that Real Madrid had made it past the round of 16, and it only took them a few transfer-record breaking signings.

Serie A teams are far stronger than their Spanish counterparts throughout the entire league - if you want any proof, look at the difference between second and third on last seasons table. A close finish? Valencia lost out by a whisker? I've never seen so many 6, 7, 8 goals margins in matches against mid-table teams.

If people want to argue that Villarreal beat Napoli in the Europa League, I'll argue it was exactly that, it was Europa League. A competition that isn't worth anyone's time. It wasn't a diabolic strategy to start Cavani on the bench in their round-of-32 tie. It was that Napoli was involved in a title race - Something that Valencia or Atletico Madrid wouldn't even have a concept of.

If I'm trying to decide between Rossi or Aguero, I know who I prefer. And given that his price tag is €15 million less, it isn't even up to debate.

I will refrain from commenting. All I'm going to say is that he's one giant Azzurri cocksucker for sure. Moreover, he shares the same name with the cuntbag Inter president!

What a delusional prick! :lol: :andyandbarcelona: :rolleyes:

You're no Azzurri hater like some of us Red. What do you think of buying Rossi? Is he worth the money thats being bandied around in the media you reckon?
He's a good player, but he's relatively unproven having only had one really good season. As Alen has said repeatedly, he'd be a good addition for a team who already has some very good attackers, but isn't someone to base an attack around.

I'd say Rossi is worth 15-18m, so would go for about 25m in the current market.

However, while I have no particular bias for or against Italy, I am deeply sceptical of La Liga in general, so it's possible/probable that I underrate La Liga forwards in general.

oh you're so boring! bianconero81 what the author was trying to get at was not rossi being superior on a individual level, he was looking at it from a tactical and economical view point.

its getting so boring this whole i hate rossi cause 'im american'/'he's an overrated italian yet i've never watched a football match in my life' it is as though some members here have forgotten the kinda shit we have in our attacking line up as it is, namely iaquinta, amauri and to an extent toni. Rossi would be a welcomed addition for a lesser fee than that of Aguero's
