Ledesma didn"t say anythoing about all of this bullshit rumors, the press said that if we didn't qualify to CL groups Lotito will be forced to sell his key players esp. Ledesma got an intresting offer of 20 Millions form Betis!

Please why the hell Ledesma would leave Lazio for Betis that hardly keeping themselves in the top flight every year!??

Lotito should apologize for the meeting he agreed on in the past with Ledesma and his agent and then when this meeting day came he just ignored it and didn't show up! At the same time when Ledesma agent called him he started to talk about he is the only one who decides about contracts renewal.....etc of his bullshit talk!? The worst thing that I still cannot figure out is that Lotito said a few couple of months back to this incidence that he will renew Ledesma contract esp. that he is a key player for Lazio and ironically Lotito idolized him as the rule model of all players that he would like to bring in!!!!!!

Ledesma is important of this Lazio side as Ronaldo to MANU (I don't mean direct comparision betwwen players) and if any body said the oppostie then I don't know if he is really following Lazio or not! I make a confession that his attitude is worng in worng but to say he should be sold then this is bullshit esp we don't have a reliable midfileder that can hold Lazio with all my respect to players like Dabo, Matulazem or others.

I just wonder how people easily forget his important goals and how we ended empty handed when we spent 2 years to sign a backup for him without finidng any!

I dont think you completely understand me, cause I agree with half your post, disagree with the other half.

first - why would Ledesma leave for Betis, a team that as you said fights relegation????????? why would Behrami laeve for West Ham, a team that is no better???? one answer, money. Betis were in CL, 3 years ago and have money, more than us anyway.

I agree with you about Lotito, if he made an agreement to meet Ledesma, it is unacceptable and unprofessional not to show up, that is Lotito's fault in the negotiations.

but the thing is, Ledesma and his agent arent treating the club with respect. I am with you, Ledesma is very important to our team, and players like him are not easy to find. He is a playmaker, well suited to the Itlaian style and scores long range goals as well. but no player is bigger than the club, and never will be.

There has to be a line somewhere, if this was another player, not as important to the team, with this attitude, he would be training solo at Formello by now and on his way out. Just because Ledesma is important to the team, doesnt mean he can make threats etc.

Pandev is even more important than Ledesma, could easily move to a bigger club, but has treated the club with respect and stated his intentions to stay. That for me, is what a player should do. If Ledesma has intentions to leave, then he shouldn't make it so ugly.

Ledesma is important because of Rossi's tactic, because everything revolves around Ledesma. He is play maker, and every time when he had bad day in this role, Lazio suffered from lack of creativity and ideas. We were powerless so many times last season, because of that, Ledesma has made only 4 goal assistances for all season.
Is he really so irreplaceable than ? I don't think so , now we have Matuzalem, Meghni, and if we are able to take lets say 15 mil for him, we could find easily fine and suitable playmaker .
However I respect him as a player of Lazio, but we can make good deal here I think , with good consequences....

how the hell did Lotito let LEDESMA play yest against Pool !!! he should be frozen out of the squad permanently , who disrespects Lazio should be thrown out !!

I don't think Ledesma will move out in this summer.. he's already vital in Rossi's tactics, there is no way to replace him in this short time... as I've said before, things could be changed if turns out that we have a good season.. and I don't think he will take article 17 if he move out anyway... well if Lotito still can't trust him, there is time available to sell him out in the winter transfer..

what Lotito can do right now is not moving Ledesma out, but find his decent replacement first, then we talk about kicking him out.

Now I read this:

The agent of Cristian Ledesma insists the midfielder is open to discussing a new contract with Lazio.

"It is not true that Ledesma wants to leave Lazio, simply he does not want to hear talk about the contract at this time because he is focusing on giving the maximum to the team," said Vincenzo D'Ippolito.

"It may be that in May we will have the opportunity to talk, but it's Lazio which must decide."

Is the only reason for this because no other club is willing to pay him?

Should we even keep this guy with the kind of attitude he brings to Lazio? Are we going to build a Lazio around him? Let's keep our eyes open for a potential replacement already.

The thing is that it has been his agent making all comments in media etc. As far as I know, Ledesma himself hasnt said he will leave. We dont really know Ledesma´s own attitude to the situation.

Ledesma and his agent are not playing a good game here. It's really a joke that they think they can do whatever they want to. Hopefully Lotito will show them how business shall be done.

In the game against Benevento Ledesma was captain, and as someone posted before he is the option when Rocchi is away. In any team that would be an indicator that the guy is set to stay, but lately any player who became capitano in Lazio left terribly fast after the appointment. It makes me confused regarding Ledesma - sure there would have been more suitable players if the guy is as close to leaving as his agent has been claiming. Or is Rossi only taking into consideration the fact that he is the "most regular" player in our squad...? What do you guys reckon?

A vote took place within the team. Obiviously Rocchi got the most votes, and I'm assuming Ledesma came 2nd with Siviglia 3rd.

Ledesma our captain?? The one who said clearly that he want to leave Lazio for more money???

It's a shame on us that he was the captain.It was also a disrespect for the fans too....

Ledesma has Juve and Inter talks

Cristian Ledesma’s agent has confirmed Juventus and Inter are in talks with Lazio to avoid the player invoking FIFA’s Article 17.

“I know that both Juve and Inter have spoken to President Claudio Lotito,” agent Vincenzo D’Ippolito told Sportal.it.


“We had asked for a clarification before the start of the season, but that did not come, and now negotiations with Lazio are completely blocked.


“We are not putting our foot down for the sake of it, but we think there has been a lack of respect.”


Ledesma’s contract expires in 2011 and as early as June he could invoke Article 17 to break off the deal early for a small fee.


“Cristian has a contract, but could use Article 17 to free himself in June,” confirmed D’Ippolito.


“He will certainly remain in Rome until the end of the season, but then we will make a decision.”


The problems between Ledesma and Lazio have been dragging on for many months, as Lotito repeatedly cancelled meetings to discuss a contract extension and wage boost.


The player considered that a snub and has since warned this will be his final campaign in the Biancocelesti shirt.


With both Juve and Inter showing an interest and the threat of that buy-out clause on the horizon, it is possible Lazio will sell Ledesma in January instead.


“At this moment we have no preference between Juve and Inter. Cristian is not afraid of fighting for his place, so we will evaluate every aspect, not just the technical and tactical ones.


“Every Coach would love to have a player like Ledesma at their disposal, because he brings balance to the side and is a precious addition to any squad. He would have no problems finding space at Juventus or Inter.”





Please sell this f*cker already! Cant wait to see him warm the bench at the San Siro, he will be loaned back to Lecce next year after failing to break into the first team at Inter!

sell him and get the lanus ledesma to replace him.

Ledesma needs to decide... to play as starter in this beautiful full of potential lazio or to become a benchwarmer at Inter or Rubentus....

Yupz,

but,if we can get 15 m from him,,maybe its will benefited to us
bring banega or dessena to formello,,lol:D

Sell him. We played better with 10 men.

I have always been a Ledesma supporter and believe he has great potential but this season he has not had as much inspirational as he did in his first season at Lazio. I think his mind has been on a move away from Lazio since some time last season which is sad - especially as he has been captain on several occasions. But in the derby although he was too emotional and went in with too much in his tackles, I believe he tried his best and was passionate.

I really want to see, and how well, Matuzalem or Meghni can fill his central midfield role. I believe they could do a good job. When Meghni came on today he looked quite good and did well for the team I thought. If Lotito does sell him I hope its for a good price and hopefully maybe get a player exchange for a younger player with similar abilities and position on the team. Marchisio at Juventus seems a good player to have.

But I do want him to play as much until the end of the year to see how he does and then in the January mercato decide if he will be sold or when or if he will stay. I would love him to stay but the effort he has put in this season has been below par in my opinion but as I mentioned, in the derby he seemed better and more dedicated to the cause. I don't know whether it was because of the derby or maybe he has finally changed his desire to stay on at Formello.

Lets wait and see over the next few weeks and how the mid season mercato pans out for Lazio and Ledesma!

I have never been pro or anti Ledesma, but whether we like it or not he is integral to how we play.

Even though he was dismissed, there was something different about Ledesma tonight. Seemed to be a spark in his eyes, a determination.

I think the sending off will be good for him. I just wonder if maybe he wants to continue at Lazio after all.

I can't even see him stupid mediocre. Leave us alone, get out of my club.

Lotito sell that son of someone,it's obvious that he doesn't want to play for us anymore.
LAZIO SHIRT IS SACRED,LEDESMA YOU IMBECIL!!

please sell him

Remember:everybody can be replaced,in every situation,at any time!Especially if he's playing s***

This season has made me disgusted. I cant stand him anymore. The problem us we are to dependent on him at the moment as we dont even have baronio to throw in in that position. A bit of a paradox. We need to get to Europe to be able to keep our players and all our game goes through Ledesma, but we need to get rid of Ledesma to fins harmony and a good game...
