Giuseppe Rossi is being handed is first senior start for the Italian nation team. Rossi has been in fine form for Villareal scoring 7 goals from 9 games including 2 assists. Now European giants such as Juventus are stalking him willing to pay around 20 million pounds for him.
Did we miss a trick here? Am i the only one disappointed with the sale of Rossi? Sure, he wasn't the biggest of strikers, but players like Zola will tell you that size isn't everything in the premiership.
Rossi doesn't do the 'headless chicken running' stuff, neither does he drop deep to the midfield hoping some winger would do the scoring for him. He is a clever fox in the box type of striker whose primary aim is to score goals. Something we don't have atm, something we could have used. And unlike the current crop of youngsters, Rossi didn't get his fair share of first team football and was sold at the first opportunity.
So, my question is this. Was it a right decision to sell Rossi? What do you make of his buyback clause? Do you think it is worth triggering considering the ridiculous prize touted by the media for the permanent signing of Carlos Tevez?
