What's wrong with Foggia?

It seems to me that both Lotito and Rossi are very eager to get rid of Foggia to another team. I don't know if I'm wrong or not, but I've read somewhere that Foggia himself wants to play with Lazio and not with Cagliari next season. What really bother me is when the whole world want Foggia in their team, Lotito&Rossi don't. Is it connected with Pasquale's height?(Remember the gossip about Gionvico almost being Lazio player?I suspect that Rossi&Lotito prefer building team with relatively tall players) or is it about his bad attitude outside the field? Does anybody here knows what really happened in the past between Foggia and Lotito/Rossi? And anybody knows what the latest news about where would Foggia play next season?

If these is the case really , we have 2 mentally unstable guys in the lead of our beloved club , xaxaxa
But seriously , I have superficial memories , that there was some misunderstanding with Rossi or Lotito , i cant remember correct.But it is a conflict....

This is the most hardest part that up to date I couldn't understand

I don't think it is related to his height, day by day it is becoming clear that it is a personal issue between Foggia and Rossi or even Lotito!

I see in Foggia as the next Sergio Conceicao or even better, it is a shameful to not see Foggia - Bianchi duo in Lazio next year

As far as I remember he was demanding a starting spot before he left us, something he had not earned by any measure. He also had a "confrontation" with Davide Marchini at Cagliari, so he could have been marked as a known troublemaker.

He is a troublemaker which makes Lotito and Rossi not wanting him in the squad. The same goes for Stendardo, as soon as someone creates a bad atmosphere in the squad he leaves the team.

Thats OK with Stendardo but Fogia is a quality player and we can't let pride get in the way of a good Lazio squad.

Foggia caused serious squad trouble at Ascoli in Serie A, then joined Lazio and demanded a starting place, was loaned out to Reggio here he did well. This year at Cagliari he caused even more serious trouble which resulted in people taking legal action etc and someone got bashed from memory.

he is one of the biggest troublemakers in Italy

Not as big as Cassano I'd guess..

But seriously, I don't think Foggia is that bad, and quality player sometimes do crazy things, look at Cassano, he was offered to us earlier last season, and look where he is now.. the point I am trying to make is, for me, it doesn't really matter if he's a troublemaker or not, what matters the most is how he performs on the pitch...

I would like to have him back, and I also don't know why we want to get rid of him almost everytime....

Yes he has had some problems at Cagliari , but after that he continued to play. That means , it wasn't been so serious , or he managed to improve his behavior. And I don't agree , that he didn't make good season. Just the contrary , he did well , very well , every time I have watched him he was dangerous and carrying his team forward. Surely , his potential increased a lot and these days , when we haven't got much resources , I can't see why we are not going to use him. I think he is able to develop more.

title of topic shoud be: what's wrong with Lotito and Rossi?

foggia has quality, lazio needs quality to improve
do the maths...

most obvious is that Lotito dislikes short players
Delio Rossi once said he would like to have Foggia here
it's ok to sell foggia, but the price is just way too low(3.6m) and the players that we are swapping for is not that much of quality compared to him
Foggia wasn't really a trouble maker in Lazio and the appearances were rare still.

Do you know guys what hurts me on Foggia regardless of being a trouble maker (as some guys claim here) is that we don't have a single player that can dribble or past 2-3 opponents rather than Pandev!

I will not comment alot, watch Lazio - Caligari game highlights and see what the hell he can do!?

Well done Lotito and Rossi

He is a littlle bit stubborn but the management should have worked him out somehow and kept in the team.

His talent in unquestionable and I would like to see him another season playing for us.

I just know about his bad attitude...
But I never seen him really make some trouble in the pitch.
He was good as a player and somehow we need him more than his negativity...

What's wrong with Foggia?

Nothing!!

The question is what's wrong with Lotito and Rossi

IMO, Foggia's "attitude" is not that bad. I believe we've seen worse.

Fact is, we could use his talent. If it's not clear to Rossi and Lotito,
they need to put their differences w/ Foggia aside, because right now
our team is not exactly good. Plus, is it me or whenever we play
against the lad he does pretty well?

Lazio is not in a place to really debate with young talent. We need
all the talent we can get and I'm sure Rossi can put Foggia in his
place if he's THAT out of control.

It's not like he's Cassano...

Just f'ing bring him bac, and lets create the best team we possibly can
for peanuts - since we have no money.

Well rossi didn't give a lot of chances to foggia, foggia wanted to play and rossi was holding him back and i guess that's why he left, then again after shining in this year, we loaned him again, i am sure lotito doesn't like to pay for someone he wasn't going to use...

The Foggia situation is crazy! He has proved he is a great talent, and if Sampdoria can take a chance with Cassano nutjob and pay off then surely we can give Foggia a chance. He's alot better than Behrami in my opinion.

Exactly, Gio. We have NOTHING to lose. At least let the boy play, prove his worth
and if for whatever reason...in a season or two...should he be a total diva...sell his
ass and bring in some cash!

No brainer.

foggia is good for our style of play, and so is stendardo, they both should stay.

We need Foggia! We need a winger so don't sell him Lotito!

If we continue with this 4-3-1-2 system he won't play as a winger, but I still want him back to compete for the trequartista position, he's a good player and I really like him.

Well this is intresting one:

Foggia: I would be pleased to return back to Lazio

Foggia said the Lazio is a big club and he is still regret it because he didn't show all of his potential, today however he will give 50% to play for either Lazio or Caligari.

he spoke about Rossi, and if he will continue to play with the 4-3-3 he will have more possibility to play he spoke with him and the relation is a good one. he is still unsure about his future even though he reads that Lotito wants him back to Rome and this is very important for him, he want to be within Lazio project and will not demand a starting role and this is quite enough for him

He had troubles with Marchini (his team mate in Caligari) that is still up to date not resolved, Foggia is yet calm with it.

Well I will comment only on those underline words: Foggia will take the starting role easily because Mauri (last year from), Meghni and Del Nero will not be able to compete with him, unless Rossi will have another opnion

Foggia is a good player,I hope that he will remain in Lazio.In Lazio he could not prove what he known because we have not given him the opportunity, in Cagliari and Reggina he showed his quality.

Probably Rossi will play 4-3-3 next year so we can use Foggia a lot as winger. The only problem: we need another one, because Behrami will leave.
