You talk like rosicky will cost 50m or something. We are talking say 2-3m that's it a season. Hardly excessive to keep rosicky. He only needs to be around for 20 games. Hardly required week in week out.
I see why you don't want his contract renewed, but I disagree. He really adds something to the team, he is professional and a player others can look up to. I think he is contributing well this season and I doubt he will be expensive (relatively speaking) to keep on the books.
I agree with everything you say, I actually rate him but what I'm looking at is our injury situation every season and how we struggle to cope, keeping a whole host of injury prone players means we're always light quality and numbers wise in the squad, if he was just one injury prone player that would be fine but we're probably have 4-5 of them now who all spend long periods out during the season.
If he could stay fit for more of the season I'd be happy to sign him up, I just don't believe he will, I think he'll miss a fair chunk of any given season.
If we look back at Sunday people were saying we were tired, had we had all of our injured players we'd probably not have been as tired, the fact we have to play largely the same team for 3 tough games takes it's toll, but that's due to injuries really, Walcott, Diaby, Rosicky, Gibbs are all injury prone, add to that the usual injuries you get during a season and it becomes a real problem.

Quiet a few seasons if I remember correctly. Their biggest contribution didn't come from playing 90 minutes week in and week out but for their contribution on and off the pitch. Do you think Giggs 2/3 started of ManU games last season and the season before? He was there to keep the team check, give confidence to young lads, add experience to the team etc. It is not just about being season pro footballer but being a full grown adult at 33 years old.
Rozza is an asset to this team, he has been a good servant to the club, professional, talented with bags of experience. Only a fool wouldn't want him in this team.![]()
