I think it's fair to say we've got enough cover in CM now with Kasim, L. Thompson, Mason, Luongo, Smith, Navarro, Cox, Ferguson, Agombar and Harley.
I was hoping from his photo Kasim would be a midfield enforcer but sounds like he's another technical player who prefers the ball at his feet.
Don't know anything about Rossi but he already sounds like he's going to be either a cult favourite or accident waiting to happen.

I thought Kasim would be a bulldozing Defensive midfielder looking at his picture as well Bruce. Hopefully he can do the dirty work as well otherwise our midfield is going to be very fancy, but probably get kicked around a lot. Rossi sounds like a total bombscare if you ask me! If we had a problem with Alan Mac giving away stupid penalties, it sounds like this fella could be the master!! |

Would imagine Rossi will be the 4th choice behind Ward, Hall and Troy and be treated as a development player.
We'll have to wait until Sat to see Kasim i guess but i am also a little worried at the size and weakness of our midfield.
Who knows maybe we'll end up playing unbelievable football and like Spain not need the size!

I will only welcome the signing of Rossi if he's given the number 46.

A South American hatchet man centre half could be the most fun we've had since Nestor Lorenzo. I loved the way Nestor was genetically programmed to body check players with his shoulder if they had the temerity to try and go past him.
I'm hoping but not expecting Rossi to be Uruguayan...a poor man's Diego Godin would be nice.

a 10 second google search reveals he is Brazilian. |

Kasim is a unit (and ex spurs).
Technically good and large, is he the long awaited Ross Mclaren replacement?

A ball playing Brazilian centre half, what can go wrong! As for Kasim from the photo I have seen if he were just to lie down in the middle of the pitch he would do a decent job of breaking up oppoision play. |

The size of Kasim!!
I have to say, that photo makes it look like he finds it difficult to pick his feet up off the ground. I imagine him lumbering about the pitch like the Hulk crossed with a bulldozer. Kasim smash! |

Did we want to give the ball away a few more times in that video. |
