I avoid mentioning it here since I know it's be a sore subject but since no one will look in a Serie A thread:
Rossi has returned so far much better than before he was injured, unbelievably good so far this year. Deadly with chances but also dribbling though waves of defenders almost Messi-like. I wish Roma would have taken the chance on him instead of Fiorentina.

yeah i watched some of him early and was really impressed. i brought him up as someone we should definitely target (if he keeps looking this good) in the arsenal thread. crazy disagreed with me, but i'm not sure how much of him he's watched this year (though part of his concern was injuries, which is fair).

Rossi - Ive been curious... but heaven forbid bring that subject up on this board. I kinda thought he was never going to be the same... good for him!

Cuadrado is amazing...

I may try and catch Hellas Verona since we are tracking Jorginho and Juam Manuel iturbe (on loan from Porto)

He was an amazing deal for €10m but now that he's looking like Messi-lite the likely price tag may not be worth the risk he re-injures that knee.

What he offers is rare though when he's in form as he can pass, hold up, score but also blast by numerous defenders in that central position.

It will be interesting to see how he plays with a target #9 when Mario Gomez returns (and with Balotelli for Italy).
