Rossi's gonna be Italy's best - sign him up!
Scored 2 cracking goals which scream quality and goal scoring instinct. We really dropped a ball here, he went from singing Utd songs and holding up the scarf to being really disillusioned with the club and moving away.
and now fergie is trying to make up for it by giving Macheda and Welbeck all the time in the world despite neither being anywhere near as good as Rossi. I really hope our current strikers can step up, but Rossi has a lot of things we lack. For a small guy, he attacks the box like strikers are supposed to and that's why he is able to put away lots of crosses, see the 3rd goal. Ronaldo was the only 1st team player we have who does that naturally. I'm not sure you can coach that or suddenly pick it up at 25 years of age. Its an instinct. Its the difference between Vidic scoring headers where Rio can't. Rooney, Berbatov, Tevez, Welbeck, all pretty pants at attacking crosses in my opinion. even if we had two wonderful out and out wingers, their crosses would reach no one and they'd be labelled 'poor end product', truth is half the work has to be done by the striker as well and ours don't do it. We'd be running into brick walls alot more often. Macheda looks like he can do it which is good, but he's not as prolific, and lacks the skill and variety of goals. Rossi can score any kind of goal and had tremendous vision and passing as well. Would love to bring him back. I said way back when it was Ruud's final summer here, if we gave Rossi his shirt and started him in as many games he'd finish top scorer for us. I put him in the same bracket of goal scorer as Shearer, Owen, Ruud and Ronaldo, with the skill and vision or Cantona. Gonna be top top drawer. |

Was a big fan of him at Utd, very surprised that Fergie did not give him more chances, easily the best attacking player in our youth and reserve sides since Giggs and co.
I made the point when we signed Tevez after his loan spell at West ham that Rossi at Parma was equally as impressive , similar pressure of a team fighting relegation, scores the goals to keep them up, plus he did not need 4/5 months to settle in. A lot of Utd fans used his failure at Newcastle when he was being used a s a targetman when he did play as an overall judgement on his ability. Both Rossi and Pique were/are good enough for Utd, just the situation did not arise to allow them to show it. I would take Rossi back, wonderful talent, will not happen but he is quality. |

Fergie did not really have the opportunity to risk Rossi though. he was there during the bad years between 03/06 when there was a lot of poor players in the squad and it was easy to be pulled down to that level, his game needs quality around him to get the very best of him. When we were chasing the league in 06/07 he started the season on loan at Newcastle, did not go that well for him and when he came back with the league in the balance and Saha struggling with fitness Fergie went for the experience of Larsson instead of risking Rossi (who then went to parma), understandable really. The next season we signed Tevez, another small forward and with Rooney and Saha still there Rossi decided that he would not play so moved on. With his finishing ability I had him down as a new Solskjaer, cameo roles to start with then gradually starting more and always being a goal threat from the bench. I thought he was a cert to make it, and it does not surprise me that he is starting to make his mark for Italy, would expect him within a couple of years to be back at one of the top clubs around Europe. If we are looking to sign a replacement striker for Tevez there are not many around Europe in the same age group who would be above him, Benzema , Aguero and Pato the top of that generation. |
