Official: Lazio sign Biava
Monday 1 February, 2010
Lazio have completed the signing of Giuseppe Biava from Genoa, according to Il Corriere dello Sport.

The 32-year-old centre-back is the Biancocelesti's third signing of the January transfer window after Thomas Hitzlsperger and Sergio Floccari.

Lazio don't even have a stand at the Ata Quark Hotel in Milan where transfer negotiations generally take place for Italian clubs.

However, Il Corriere dello Sport understand Claudio Lotito met with Genoa officials at the Hotel Gallia and managed to strike a deal.

Biava has been a regular for Genoa ever since his move from Palermo in 2008. He made 28 appearances last season and has started on 17 occasions in 2009-10.

Couldn't agree more...

Played as a rock for Genoa last season...has been pushed out by youngsters...but at 32..not exactly old in CB terms...

Siviglia's time was up long ago...Stendardo is back playing solidly...Diakite and Radu need more guidance..

Biava will add plenty to the squad..

I can't understand you guys ... who do you want Lazio to buy ? Messi, Buffon and Vidic ?

Biava, Golasa, Hitlzsperger and Floccari are all good and talented players who can help us a lot to improve our game and move up in the Serie "A". For once we had a good mercatto and your unhappy again .. ?!?

Golasa is that official coz i cant find it anywhere? How long till the transfer window closes?

Its the Laziale supporters that are stuck in the Cragnotti Era!

Newsflash people! That time is over....Crespo,Veron,Nesta,Vieri,Nedved...All gone...

We are in a new phase albeit very very tough to watch...

Try and be abit more supportive...No one likes Tare...No one likes Lotito...But Players Martinese mentions are good signings...players that have plenty of talent...last mercato management failed its supporters...this mercato, at least there has been a mixture of some good business...

Ledesma is the testing one at the moment...He needs to go and we need to get something for him...

Ederson...if we get him, then its been a cracker of a mercato...if we don't, then hopefully we have an alternative in place...possibly this is Golasa...

Not saying we are back on easy street and management have done a great job, but be abit more positive..

Please no Fuchs from Bochum.

...I don´t think that he´s coming because there is nothing in german or austrian media.

Let me ask you, what where are main targets this mercato? Few midfielders and defenders.

Pros:
So for the mid we got Hitzlsperger (which is great)

Cons:
We didn't offloaded Ledesma and use the money properly, Eugren is = to scandal if you ask me, we failed to get our main targets like Poulsen, D'gustino, Costa, Rever, Ederson (worse bargain in the history of the club)... and last but not least we got Biava - solution for all our defense problems.

*Golasa will surely go to primavera no doubt about that.

We are facing relegation battle damn it, this mercato was to be or not to be.

When does the transfer market close?

A guy who was a protagonist in the Champions League won't play Primavera. Golasa would probably start for our first team at the moment.

Yeah right, just like Pajtim Kasami how carried Switzerland by himself.

A few problems there..

Pro's you got right...

Cons?

There is 4 hours left...

Ledesma can still go...

Poulsen didnt want to come...and D'Agostino and Udine slammed the door shut...if they don't want to come, then its a moot point..

Golasa is 18...already has european experience, playing international football, and was chased by top clubs...How can you difinitively say that he would play Primavera??? Makes no sense...he is widely known as more than a hot prospect...why couldn't he get into our squad?

The player i want is Ederson! We got some good players but lets remember that lotito still didnt spend any money that we got from rozenhal and de silvestri. All the players that came were free transfers or loan delas. LOTIOS IS A CHEAP BASTAR!

A team that face relegation battle will not wait for miracle in the last 4 hours.

I'm mad at our management who obviously didn't saw Lazio playing this season.

Maybe you can give them a hand to speed things up?

Meanwhile, Inter's move for Lazio's Cristian Ledesma seems to be on hold. The midfielder's agent is currently with Claudio Lotito meeting over a deal.

MAN Ledesma agent faked up his carrer. The guy has a big mouth!

Money that went into buying Matuzalem...whether this was a good deal or not remains to be seen..given his injuries, but he did spend money...around 8million..

Do I sense sarcasm?

according to lazialita:
Eguren case is still possible..

So far, it seems we have signed:

A German international.
An experienced centre-back who plays regularly at the top level.
A dynamic centre-forward with a good goal rate in recent years.

One more midfielder and I'm sorry, but it has been as perfect a mercato as one could expect. When Ballardini (the puppet) said he needed 4 new players, I expected 4 new players and I get the feeling that is exactly what we're going to get.

most certainly...

what i am saying is that yes our management has been appauling...but who doesn't know this???

all i am saying is don't crucify new players like Biava and anyone else who comes in just because Lotito and Tare are a comedy duo...

Biava will definitely add to our squad...

Hitz,Floccari and Golasa (should this be official) these are all players that could be massive hits and save our season...whoever plays for the shirt give them the opportunity to show themselves before we judge...

Judge when they have played a good amount of games..then you can decide if they are failures or not..

I already agreed about Hitz and Flocc. About Galosa and Biava I'm not that excited.

Anyway the system is the same so nothing will change. We didn't pull the most important move, yet.

The management is spread to thin. Again we waited for too long, now there's less than 4 hours to find a solution for the agreements with Ederson, Foggia, Baronio, Makinwa, settling the situation with Ledesma and Eguren...
I believe Lotito's main agenda is Ledesma, but who will take care of the rest?

we got Biava as Lotito has a godd relationship with Preziosi but can he be the real solution? I hope so but I fear not.

4 hours. I'm happy with the acquisitions but we also needed to make some cuts. Again a hectic mercato and unnecessary waste of nerves.
