Anything north of £25-30m is breaking the bank, to me.
Either way Roma are owned by a bank now who is looking for an investor - the Sensi family no longer own the club, although Rosella Sensi is still President.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

They are different kind of players, I think Fletcher offers something that De Rossi doesn't have.
de Rossi would strengthen any team on earth. not just an enforcer. he has vision and leadership.
touted as the next Italian captain..if he isn't already.

sign this guy. He's just what we need.
I don't think he will ever leave Roma, he's like a second Totti for them.
A Scottish accent but that's about it. De Rossi and Cambiasso are the two best players who work their asses off in CM, good at defense but also offer something going forward. He's been known to score one or two goals outside the box per season.
Would definitely not mind him here, always rated him highly. Him and Fletcher in midfield in Europe. Very good combo.
Him and Chiellini are the two Italians who could do good here and improve our team.
That being said, I'm also very sceptical that this deal would happen.

Bull shit story in my opinion. He is Roma through and through, just like Totti. He will never leave Rome. He and Totti are to Roma what Giggs and Scholes are to United. He is a terrific defensive midfielder though and would love to see him here any day.

Not at the expense of those two players, i hope.
What a sack of horseshit.
I think De Rossi loves Roma, but I also think he will move on soon
He is not going to move here though

I am not sure he would be a good fit here.
Why would you post a story that you believe to be bullshit and is from a well-known bullshit source?
It pains me when people post caughtoffside stuff on here. Its such a joke of a site, not worth pissing on
It was his inner muppet Brwned. Hes gunning for gambits title this year.
Posting stories from CaughtOffside should be punishable by a temporary ban from the Transfer Forum.
We've supposedly been after him for the past 23 years. I don't think we are going to sign him...not sure why there are continually stories about it.
Please stop posting links from caughtoffside, you are ruining football.
yes please 
He'd go to Spain if he ever left Roma.
If its BS, then why post something from a crap website, and in the process unnecessarily bump an old thread.
Not sure if this is any better than caughtoffside, but goal.com have the same story.

It's not.
goal.com and caughtoffside.com should be bannable offences.
Add tribal football and imscouting to that list.

Seems to have some legs this story.

I thought the latest news was RM was sniffing at him to replace Xabi Alonso... the journalist was on crack or something I think...
these two threads need to be merged.
So in CM, we're now being linked with the high-profile signings of Modric, De Rossi and Benega.

when were we linked with Banega?
swap deal involving Berba.
I would take it.
We get Welbeck and Kiko back. DeRossi would be amazing.

Never happening, can anyone even remember the last time a high profile swap deal happened?
Not involving us but there was the Ibra/Eto'o swap two summers ago.
If it takes berba to get him, de Rossi can stay far far away
Do Not Want.
That said, caughtoffside is a joke of a website and berba is going to sign an extension in the near future.

My sentiments exactly.
Zlatan-Eto'o.
My money is on him going to Madrid.
He's exactly the type of player we need for that holding role in midfield. Experience, energy, aggression, balls (especially this, its what our midfield has been lacking,besides a creative force of course).
This is as nailed on to happen as can be. He wont be coming to Utd thats for sure and any speculation linking him with us is his agents way of trying to get a better deal for him at Madrid.
Cue said player moving to another club.
Seems Roma are in trouble and he hasn't yet signed a new deal. He's therefore an asset they may want to sell if they get a decent offer. He very well might be looking at Totti and his lack of medals and thinking he needs to move on.
He'll not be short of options if he decides to go. Very good player.
Why?
He's going to go there and play alongside Khedira, and Alonso, and Ozil and Diarra and whoever else?
Madrid wouldn't let Mourinho buy a forward in January even though they were desperate. Any money they have will be spent on a striker.
I'd say he's more likely to stay in Italy than anything else. Milan will be rebuilding this year and he could be just the sort of player they need.
Take your red tinted specs off for just a second and think about it. This year has seen the emergence of Welbeck and Hernadez. The latter showing that he's already good enough to be first choice at Manchester united, whilst the former showing that he can improve at a huge rate when given proper playing time. Put it this way, Welbeck will not come back to United to be fourth choice, look at just how little playing time both Owen and Macheda have got when they've been the fourth striker. Do you really think that given how he's developing Welbeck would/should come back and risk being fourth choice?
Next, look at our midfield, what it lacks is someone with some steel, someone who'll add some much needed leadership, with Hargreaves being Hargreaves and Carrick not being that type of player, someone like De Rossi is just what we need. Not to mention that he's a class above all our central midfielders bar Scholes, when you then factor in that he'd cost less than what we paid for Carrick, Anderson and Hargreaves, you'd be mad to turn down that deal, players like him rarely become available let alone for such a fair price.
That article is no doubt made up but you could see the logic in United going for such a deal.
