He's a real big game player, De Rossi. He was even half decent at Old Trafford. But whenever I see Roma play the top sides in Italy, he always seems to show up; always one of their best players. It is hard to find many weaknesses in his game. I have to be honest, when he first broke through he reminded me a little of a young Gerrard because he was all over the place, delivering great cross-field passes and supporting the attack, but perhaps a little over enthusiastic. Since then he's gone on to become a far more complete player and last night he showed his ability to be very impressive/effective in a more subtle way.

The build up play for Smiths goal was sublime - Rooneys too. And a wonderful solo effort from Ronaldo. |

My understanding is that he was actually Barca's first choice. They enquired about him when negotiating for Chivu, but were put off by the amount that Roma wanted and decided to go with Yaya Toure instead. On the other hand, I've also heard that Milan made a move for him, but were told categorically that he was not for sale at any price. |

As a local boy, it seems like he has quite an affinity with Roma. Didn't his father play for them as well?
As long as Roma are doing well, I'd imagine he'd stay. Not sure other Italian teams have the money to throw at him in the way Juve did with Fiorentina over Baggio: would he want to play against his family team? I could see an overseas sale, if and when the time came, suiting all parties. |

Michael Carrick actually. (If you substitute the tackling part with brilliant interceptions.) |
