Cheshire Mag Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 He hasnt really had a chance to shine here but he isnt the player we needed or really wanted, I think we took him because he was the only one available to us at the time. Fergie is being a right c*nt as usual and his comments are totally rediculous. Lets just hope that Roeder has someone in mind to sign in the transfer window.

Guest Phil K Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 We got what we wanted.....cover for the striker position. Sure SAF might have wanted Rossi to play, and if he was good enough I would have wanted him to play too, but he was only ever here for cover. No one thought that Sibierski would have been Glens go-to-guy, so if Rossi couldn't beat out Sibs for the forward position then he wasn't as good as SAF thinks he is. We wanted cover for the forwards....Rossi was that cover. Job done. Now GR needs to sign some player permanently to shore up the forwards and defense. Bang on the nose. Let's not f*** about with short term, embarrasing loans next time, eh ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or on the other hand we could end up with someone like Freddy Eastwood on the back of one good game against the mancs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1nol Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Don't think Fergie will be loaning to us again, we can forget Smith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon_Crazy Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Not a major loss anyway but I won't say anything about the lad. I think we would be better off giving Caroll or Troisi a shot though, let our own lads gain experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnypd Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 He's trying to recreate a very poor mans Pirlo and Gattuso at Man Yoo it would seem. agree i said something similar back in August. not a bad idea but i don't really think Carrick is in the same class as Riquelme or Pirlo, and his passing looks relatively predictable alongside the likes of Alonso or Fabregas. anyway, Rossi was basically a non-entity in the games i saw him play, so he won't be missed. maybe he'kll develop into a good player when he hits puberty.

BottledDog Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 All Roeder would say today was: "Seppe Rossi was at a funeral for our last Premiership game and, of course, Manchester United did not want him playing for us in Europe. But he is available again tomorrow and I am delighted that he is - and he should play some part for us." I'm sure Furguson will be delighted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TampaToon Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 f*** what ferguson thinks, i'm glad to hear him say it....rossi provided some depth when we were up against it at the end of the window, and we only played him when we felt necessary and never more than that...too bad if fergie's upset, we got what we wanted and he didn't, big deal. of course, all this is null and void if we don't add strikers in jan, in which case i'll be pining for rossi to come back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest theunis Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Yeah Fergie comment really peeeed em off, if he allowed Rossi to play cup games he would have had allot more games, but now, he comes out moaning, never mind our current league position, we cant be testing Man u players and hoping for the best.

Jesus wept, just because he isnt our player doesnt mean we shouldnt play him if we need to! If we had Ronaldinho on loan would you be saying "We are like Barca's toy"? Yes, we challenged them for the league title 3 times in the past but what does that matter for anything now? It means nothing, times have changed in football. We have been overtaken by teams like Villa & Bolton, who would have thought that when we were challenging for the title with Manure? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 he is a youngsters who is just in our team so he can get used to first team football then kick our ass next season with manchester !!! if he was sheva or as u said ronaldinho,or at least a good play who we can actually use and might get a chance of signing of full terms next season i am in but he is only hear to train and then go back to his actuall team.. IF Only he was good enough for our team in the first place,he scored 1 league cup goal,that leave's him as our least scoring striker,even LUQUE got more goals then him!!

Give me strength, he was brought he as BACKUP, not as a first teamer & what happens when your first choice's are not available, you use the BACKUP, which is what Rossi is. I doubt he is going to "kick our ass next season with manchester" because he isnt good enough, yet. Its going to take him longer than a couple of months under Roeder and the gang to make him into the world beater that you seem to think he is going to turn into as soon as he walks back into Old Trafford.

He was brought here because LUQUE ISNT GOOD ENOUGH! Aye, lets use a reserve team player who is just going to get bullied about by centre backs who wont care if its his first or last game. At least Rossi has some experience of playing 1st XI football. Imagine if Carroll or Troisi has a shocker on their debut, the crowd are going to be right on there backs straight away, especially with the position we are in at the moment.

Guest SLK Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Why is Roeder kissing Alex's arse ? Glenn Roeder is happy to have Giuseppe Rossi available again after Sir Alex Ferguson complained about the striker's lack of appearances at Newcastle United. Rossi is currently on loan at St James' Park from Manchester United, with Ferguson wanting the youngster to gain first-team experience. But Rossi has started just two Premiership games for Newcastle and Ferguson expressed his unhappiness at the situation over the weekend. He is ready to bring the forward back to Old Trafford in January, although Roeder does not want to be drawn into a row. Instead, the Magpies manager is looking forward to being able to select Rossi for Wednesday's Premiership game with Reading. "I have not been in contact with Sir Alex," said Roeder. "An experienced manager, as he is, he will understand I have got to do my job the way I see it. "Seppe Rossi was at a funeral in Milan for our last Premiership game against Portsmouth, and of course Manchester United did not want him playing for us in Europe. "But he is available again tomorrow and I am delighted he is. He should play some part for us." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I think Rossi was a decent signing, given the state of affairs. We didn't have enough strikers, and we needed a bigger squad to start the season with. We'd fucked up the transfer window, and knew it so at little to no expense we brought in Rossi and Sibierski. It gave us extra bodies, and made our squad that little bit stronger without wasting any cash on a player we didn't want. Granted, he's not played much, but at (presumably) just the cost of his (again, presumably) low wages I think it was a reasonable bit of business. Nothing gained, nothing lost. If only we could say that about Luque... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
