Completely irrelevant point but why not De Rossi? City have offered him £10 million a year, and Totti/Sabatini/Enrique have said if Daniele wants to go he can. DDR hasn't decided yet but a midfield of him Yaya and Silva would be frankly world class and scary... Re Madridista: Mancini also wants Lavezzi/Pastore/Hamsik/Isla, he wont join and come mid August you'll have the same number of testicles as Hitler...
But where would be fit in? No doubt he's absolutely quality, but so is de Jong, Silva and Toure. They could play a narrow diamond, maybe.
