I can see rossi arriving, if i was to make the deal id do our famous loan+option to buy type deal for rossi, see how he plays when he is back in january until the end of the season with a set 10mln fee to be paid, if he doesnt perform we simply send him back to villareal and look further into a cassano replacement.
Good plan, just one problem here though.... Who will we play in the first half of the season when Rossi's recovering? And why pay wages for a player we know isn't going to play until January? Why not just get him in January? No one else is interested, and from now till January,no one will be able to see how well he'll do anyway. Why not just save half a season's wages and Loan him in January. Our january signings seem to have done the trick for us in recent years (Pato, T.Silva, Van Bommel....). Loaning him now means nothing really, since he can't even play with us till January at the earliest.
Why pay 6 to 8 Mil in wages for a 30+ year old (who, does look like his former self somewhat this season) player, when we could grab some younger, quality replacements with lower wages for much less?
13 Mil + say three years of 8 Mil wages is like..... 37 Mil!
How many decent players could we get for money like that? Especially when their wages would be between 1 to 3 Mil a season! We could hire a youngster who's 5 year wages (assuming at 1 Mil a season) would be even less than what the guy earns in a single year!
We could grab Yanga (say 10M + 1M x 5year wages) Rossi (10M + 2M x 4year wages) and still have 2 Mil left over to pay off De Sciglio, Strasser and Cristante's wages for the next two seasons!
We got the young 'un's. We take out big gunz
