A good player but more of a 2nd striker, Newcastle need an out and out front man, and neither Rossi nor Martins provide that

United are playing with danger. They're running short on strikers unless they plan to buy somebody today.

Giuseppe Rossi is a great prospect. He has scored numerous goals for United's reserves and big things are expected of him in the near future. Newcastle have done well to steal him away from United until January, as I know that he is highly regarded by SAF among others. As a player he certainly has an eye for goal, although small, he has great body strength at holding the ball, a brilliant first touch and can certainly pick a pass too - as well as an awesome left foot! He is very similar to a young Paul Scholes when he first broke in to the 1st team squad at United all those years ago, before he was moved back in to a midfield role. I would expect him to do well for any club, given the opportunity, and will bring goals to Newcastle for certain. Perhaps he is not quite ready for the step up to the Premiership, but certainly possesses the attributes to become an exceptional player - may take him a few games to settle, but after that, I expect to see the best of him. You will not be disappointed - trust me.

Excelent deal for United, just like the keeper situations at watford and everton it means potential tricky teams can be strengthened when against other teams and weakend when against us, plus it'll mean rossi will get a massive amount of pitch time as long as we dont get any new striker injuries it'll be excelent and it will help his development no end.

humm not exactly the big and strong striker roeder said he wanted to partner ameobi... good to have back up, the guys got skills, but still a bit strange. if ameobe+martins are fit i see them starting, so dunno how much football he will actually get. maybe we could play him left back/centre back...

if hes been guaranteed football they can't have much confidence in what they have already got

Rossi would be a regular for United if we did not have Rooney. The boy is class and only needs games to get better. Easily the best youth product to have come through the youth and reserves stage of development for us in a long time.(I know we signed hm from Parma at 17 before anyone says so). He will do well at NEwcastle. I wish we were keeping him.

I don't understand SAF logic.

Ruud goes, he say's Rossi will play more this season.

Rossi goes, Ole is being lined up for right midfield.

So we are now left with Saha, Rooney and Smith oh and still no replacement for Keane.

Then Teves and mascherano, who would have been perfect, go to west ham...and someone else mentioned THIS IS ALL CHELSEA's fault.......i've just not worked out how yet.
