Tooj 17 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 (edited) http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsD...~890392,00.html Newcastle Go For Man Utd Starlet NEWCASTLE United have reached an agreement with Manchester United to take striker Giuseppe Rossi on loan. Born in America, but an Italian U21 international who previously played for Parma, Rossi is set for a spell at St. James' Park until January 1, 2007. As a condition of all loan deals between Premiership clubs, however, he will be prevented from playing for the Magpies in any meetings with the Red Devils. Rossi has made 14 appearances at senior level for Sir Alex Ferguson's side, scoring four times. He netted for the Red Devils in his first taste of Premiership action, hitting the target at the Stadium of Light last season in a 3-1 win against Sunderland. His other goals were in the League Cup against Barnet and a brace in the FA Cup against Burton Albion last term. Rossi has also been prolific at Reserve level for the club. Love how the pic is of him scoring against The Mackems. Edited August 30, 2006 by Jonny2J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6682 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 So I guess we can consider being classed as 'second-rate' by Man Utd these days?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Well at least its a striker till the next transfer window, better than nothing which was what we had a few minutes ago! And anyway he was obviously our first choice all along, we've just kept quiet about it so we didn't alert other clubs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 i was under the impression he is quite highly rated. 188092[/snapback] Highly rated enough to be let go by a Man United team with only one striker available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6682 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 i was under the impression he is quite highly rated. 188092[/snapback] He's a "prospect for the future" in the same way Chopra (and Brayson before him) was classed as the same here. You only have to look at the quality of teams who loan Man Utd's reserve players (Birmingham, West Brom, Watford, etc..) to realise what our level of ambition is these days.... Very, very disappointing tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effectively we've replaced Shearer and Owen with a virtual unknown (and unproven in the premiership) and one of Man Utd's kids... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can do the business, why have they let him go? Their current 2 strikers have a history of injury problems, and Rooney is suspended. Out of Luque, Martins, Rossi and Ameobi; where is the striker to get us 15-20 goals a season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
