rossi is class but the system we play is not the kind of striker we need.
Yeah, my concern with him is that he wouldn't link up with the midfield as well as Ade does, and he could become an expensive Defoe But I would love it if we got him
Oh God dont mention Rossi to anyone, it will remind them i promised he would arrive in August

He is a major upgrade on Defoe and would sit in perfectly with the football we play on the ground, not to mention he doesn't need 3 chances to score
Well we had forgotten about it RRP but.....
No point signing an injured player.

BREAKING NEWS
Rossi seen at the Spurs lodge. A medical has been arranged for this afternoon, and if all goes well, Rossi will be a Spurs player in January.

and defoe doesnt ever play unless there are injuries or we badly need a goal from somewhere.
so the fact that he is an upgrade on defoe is fine, but i cant seem him happy to sit on the bench because he doesnt fit in with how we play.
an upgrade on ade is what we really want if possible.
Fair point Chronic
Although Rossi has the quality to be pushing for a starting place where as Defoe simply doesn't and Harry clearly doesn't rate him
We need a replacement for Pav and most likely a replacement for Ade as i cant see us keeping him even if we wanted to
RRP Defoe's been quite good this season when given the chance
Never does enough for me shmexy

We will never agree on this Chronic
It's a risk, but could we pay a small fee now to sign an agreement for first option on Rossi now, so if he does prove his fitness, we have a price all agreed (albeit for an outlay right now). If his stock is "low", now would be the time to pounce as we cannot compete financially for top players on a level playing field. Look at how we got VDV and to an extent Ade.
If memory serves, wasn't there a "strong rumour" going around last year that we had a Rossi deal sewn up, but Levy welched at the last minute because he got cold feet about spending £20mil+? Probably some SC ITK rubbish...
