May 30, 201313 yr Hmm...hometown club with hometown hero...yet desperate to sell him...something seems a little off here... True, but others could say the same about Chelsea and Lampard contract situation a few weeks ago...
May 30, 201313 yr That all worked out good in the end though right? ;) Can only see a couple of reasons why Roma would want him out. He is either now crap, injury riddled or a bad influence on the squad. Why else would you sell a player like him?

He is either now crap, injury riddled or a bad influence on the squad. Why else would you sell a player like him? The only reason I can think of is that they probably want to cash in on him while they still can. A player hitting 30 years old is like a car hitting 100,000 miles, value absolutely plummets. De Rossi is 30 in July. Whatever their reason for selling, I would bloody love him at Chelsea. Edited May 30, 201313 yr by AdamCFC
May 30, 201313 yr Maybe but the above tweet says Roma are keen to sell and the player has to decide on the move. Sounds more like, from this quote, the club are the ones more pushing for it.
May 30, 201313 yr He's the perfect age for us, because by the time he's finishing up then chalobah will be primed and ready to step in.
May 30, 201313 yr He's the perfect age for us, because by the time he's finishing up then chalobah will be primed and ready to step in. That's really not how it works at Chelsea....
May 31, 201313 yr De Rossi would be an absolutely brilliant signing. However, I cannot see it happening for a second. He's always striked me as a one club guy.
May 31, 201313 yr That's really not how it works at Chelsea.... Well i'd hope that is what would happen, since we seem to be trying to integrate young players
May 31, 201313 yr Tancredi Palmeri @tancredipalmeri1m Chelsea officially contacted Roma for De Rossi. Roma keen to sell. Hoping for 20m €,could accept 15m €. Still no bid. De Rossi has to decide Who is this cheeky bar steward again?
May 31, 201313 yr He does something like 5 tweets an hour..Italian sports reporter I guess. I'd call him Italian Rob Beasley... Edited May 31, 201313 yr by evissy
May 31, 201313 yr It true anyone know why all of a sudden Roma would like to sell? Maybe they can't afford his wages.... I think they gave him a bumper new deal last summer after City came in for him.
May 31, 201313 yr The thing is DeRossi went through a messy devorce and was severly depressed at one point. He had an absolute sh*t season by his standards as well. Not sure what state he is in now, could have asked for a transfer..
May 31, 201313 yr Can't see De Rossi moving to be honest. Having said that, I can't help but imagine how better our team would be with him in it. Fantastic player.
May 31, 201313 yr Yeah, I don't think he's been at his best this season but still a quality player, very good passer for a DM as well.
June 8, 201313 yr I wish the rumours about Mata leaving would stop. I'm 99% sure it's nonsense, but seeing them keep popping up on various sites still worries me.
June 8, 201313 yr Everyone's favourite member of the twitterati Tancredi Palmeri is saying that we've made an approach for Kevin Prince Boateng worth around €15m. Which is interesting. http://www.weaintgotnohistory.com/chelsea-fc-transfer-rumours-news/2013/6/8/4407982/chelsea-fc-transfer-rumours-2013-kevin-prince-boateng We Aint Got No History is focussing on him injuring Ballack 3 years ago, but as a player he's very good and my favourite Milan player at least. Industrious, fast, hard working and he's got the technique to back it all up, but whether there's anything in this, I doubt it. Also, I have literally no idea where he'd play. He's basically played everywhere from central midfield to striker and every position in between, so it'd be interesting to see what he'd come in to do. I still don't think it will happen, mind.
June 8, 201313 yr Boating really? The guy is average I'm Sudanese and currently visiting Sudan, went to watch Sudan play Ghana yesterday, he actually got sent off but calling him average is ridiculous, he's a top player and would definitely improve our team/squad. I just remember that volley against arsenal in the CL. Thing of beauty. He was easily Portsmouths best player during his time in the premier league.
