Transfer preview: Giuseppe Rossi

Statistics:
At Mancheter United 14 games and 4 goals, at Newcastle 13 games, 1 goal, At Parma 20 games, 9 goals. At Villareal 177 games and 77 goals.
This season in 55 games he scored 32 goals, in La Liga 35(18), in CdR 5(3), in Europe 15(11).

Features:
Barca type striker, he is left footed and can play in anywhere in frontline. Good shot, good ball control, good dribling. He is fast and he thinks fast. You can say that his goals are nothing special, but he keeps scoring. Good in counter and in 1-on-1 situation vs goalkeeper. Rossi is friend of Pique and Guardiola likes him. Still young and good for future.

Conclusion:
This is his best season in life and in La Liga, so he is proven here. He is Barca type striker and he speaks Spanish. There should be no problems fiting in team. He would be good for bench player, but his price of €30M is smething what bothers me. He can make pressure on both, Villa and Pedro. But still I don't see Rossi as big game player. Bigger problem is Sandro Rossel, lets go to money.

Money:
Villareal said that he can go for €30M, IMO is to much for him. Maybe not for some other club where he would play in first 11. But lets not be naive, in Barca he would be bench player. Paying €30M for bench player who can replace any of front trio very good, but can not add anything extra is not what Sandro Rossel will do. There is bigger chance to pay €40M for Aguero than €30M for Rossi.
