NEWS - Rossi joins Magpies on loan
-
Newcastle have agreed terms with United to take Giuseppe Rossi on loan until 1 January 2007.
The Italian striker will link up with the Magpies immediately and, according to Sir Alex Ferguson, will gain some invaluable first team experience.
"It was a big decision for us especially as we don't have the choice of strikers," admitted the United boss.
"But this is something that Giuseppe wanted as he needs regular first team football.
"When he returns he will be a more experienced player who will be able to offer us much more."
Rossi joined United in July 2004 from Serie A side Parma. After impressing for the Reserves in his first few months at Old Trafford, he earned a well deserved call-up to the senior team.
His first team debut came in the Carling Cup victory over Crystal Palace in November 2004. He has since made a further 11 appearances, bagging four goals in the process.

good for newcastle.
i only hope he wont end up injured. -
At first i thought why they let him go when they didn't get any new striker in yet. But after thinking, i thought actually not a bad idea, good for Rossi and Man u also, after all 4 months only... This way he will have premier league experience unlike the previous load deals all lower division teams.

I agree EPL experience is a bonus, but the main thing is 1st team experience. Even if you were loaned out to a League I side, what matters is that you've been in the 1st team, as it keeps you fit and ensures you don't get rusty.Originally posted by zocoss:At first i thought why they let him go when they didn't get any new striker in yet.

Maybe this is why United have been linked to sign Tevez and Trezeguet.
THis loan deal is good for Rossi, United as well as Newcastle. Provided Rossi gets the chance to play.
Cheers.

Yup, But premier league experience will be good for him. He will gain from the experience coming up against better teams and good defenders instead of those average type in the League I sides.Originally posted by iveco:I agree EPL experience is a bonus, but the main thing is 1st team experience.

Newcastle, as big as they are, they only have 4 strikers including their youths... and with Michael Owen out for the season, Obafemi Martins injured for the next few weeks, Albert Luque a disappointment, all they are left with is Foluwashola Ameobi who himself is not even a reliable or experience forward.
So i see Rossi getting a lot of first team matches otherwise united wouldn't have let him go. This loan deal also give united a chance to assess how he can perform in the premiership. -
Dun think Man U can sign both striker that they are interested...
with competition with chelsea and asrenal -
What strikers? They are not signing anyone else already.Originally posted by Nigel009:Dun think Man U can sign both striker that they are interested...

If he gets injured, Newcastle is really cursed. -
if he gets injuried, it will mean the loan will be wasted..

Newcastle boss Glenn Roeder has thanked Sir Alex Ferguson for allowing United's highly-rated Italian striker Giuseppe Rossi to move to St James' Park.
The 19-year-old Italian Under21 is currently on international duty, but will join up with his team-mates ahead of Newcastle's next Premiership fixture against Fulham on 9 September.
The Magpies completed the transfer of Rossi late on Wednesday night, and Roeder was delighted to have secured the capture of Rossi on a four-month loan deal ahead of other interested clubs, with Mark Hughes at Blackburn and Bryan Robson at West Brom also keen on taking Rossi.
"A lot of other Premiership clubs wanted Giuseppe and I suppose some people will be surprised that we have got him," Roeder said. "But I must thank Sir Alex for his part in this because I really believe that he has done us a big favour."
Sir Alex had initially stated that Rossi would spend this season at the club earning his stripes in the first-team. But the manager had a change of tact and decided that the former Parma youth player would benefit more from first-team experience elsewhere.
"Alex would have been happy to keep him because he is undoubtedly one of UnitedÂ’s top, top youngsters," Roeder revealed. "In fact, I have to say that GiuseppeÂ’s goalscoring record for United Reserves is nothing short of phenomenal." -
