I have 3 issues with this:
1) kenny rarely signs players from abroad
2) generally speaking, italians don't do well in the premiership
3) his wages would be astronomical and we need to bring our wage bill down
Other than that though, I agree he's a top player - maybe we could do a deal this month where they take adam and henderson in exchange?

I think your first issue is a moot point, but I'd be inclined to agree with the other 2. I'm always very wary of Italians coming to the PL, and especially so since Aquilani. Who was the last proper Italian success in the PL? Zola is the last one I can remember - surely there's been at least one since then?? Couldn't see De Rossi happening for so many reasons.

De Rossi is more or less going to have his choice of where to go. Can anyone tell me (even if we could afford his wages), WHY he would come to us over city, utd, chelsea, bayern, barca, madrid, the milans, psg, etc etc?

I haven't even seen and rumours about us chasing him - aside from from menace2u on here. This one's a non-starter for me. Things can always change of course, but I really don't see it in any way, shape or form.

only quality players will get LFC to where they used to be in the 70, 80' tees.
signing average players, for sky high prices, gets u [oops] all, in football.
De Rossi is the kind of player that the club shud be going after, cuzz this is the kind of player that is needed in our midfield/team.
paying him high wages, is part of the game and gamble, cuzz he cud make the difference in getting a CL place this season or not.

What about Balotelli? Too soon to be labelled as a success perhaps, but at least decent when not shown a red card!

Infact, he's not your typical anything, he's definitely one of a kind!
