[ITA] Serie A 2012/2013 (42 Viewers)

When fit, I think Rossi is a very good player. If Fiorentina can get him back to his best level, this is a coup for them. A very good signing. If they fail to do that, then it's obviously money down the drain.

Personally, I believe he'll return to former heights. He's only 25 years old, so he has plenty of time to make a full recovery before his peak years.

He's another 18 months away from getting anywhere back to his best though, that's if he does which I doubt he will.

 

[Jem83]

Why 18 months? I thought he would be injury-free around March? If he starts to regain his fitness from that moment onwards, I think he could play a vital role for them next season. He'd have 5 months to get ready for next season.

My apologies if I'm misinformed about the length of his injury.

 

[Nicholas]

No mate he's set for March, but look at Isla and Quag, how long it's taken both of those and Rossi's had two of those injuries.

 

[GordoDeCentral]

first of all rossi had one fluke season in spain of all places, second there is no way he could be back to anywhere near that level with his chronic injuries and time away from playing.

Exactly. 10 million euros + 6 million in bonus is absolutely insane. Fiorentina better qualify for the CL or they will find themselves in a quite precarious financial position.

at this point it should be seen as a 10 mil trnasfer, the 6 mil would only kick in if his play justifies that price tag, which it wont

They're selling Jovetic come summer.

 

[Jem83]

Doubting that he'll return to former heights is definitely justified, but I have a feeling he will.

 

[Emmet]

If they really buy Rossi for 16m, that says to me they're selling Jojo in the summer.

 

[Trequartista]

They're selling Jovetic come summer.

They should not if they qualify for the CL.

 

[Nicholas]

They won't unfortunately.

 

[Emmet]

We should hope they finish 4th then

 

[Nzoric]

They should not if they qualify for the CL.

I don't think CL can cut it for them. I mean, we qualified and came out as top earners with 17,1m Eu. Plus they've got some relatively heavy earners.

 

[Nicholas]

Rossi will be earning as much as Jovetic is a Fiorentina

 

[Trequartista]

Probably. They're planning to build a new stadium and they have already chosen the location. Even without the law on stadiums, they have a pretty good chance of building their stadium (40 000 seats) but it won't be ready before 2017 at the very least.

So yeah, their financial situation doesn't look good at the moment.

[Salvatore]

Pato leaving for €15 million really is laughable though, considering how much Paris Serie-G were reportedly going to pay for him last Summer.

Isn't that a co-own?

 

[Nicholas]

No. Corinthians own 60% of his rights and Pato owns 40% of his rights.

Milan sold him outright.

 

[only-juve]

No. Corinthians own 60% of his rights and Pato owns 40% of his rights.

Milan sold him outright.

So that means Corinthians have actually just paid 9 mil for Pato, and he paid the rest of that fee (6 mil) from his own pocket !

Pretty decent move from Corinthians, hope he does extremely well there (his got the skills nodoubt) and pisses Milan fans :xfinger:
