Transfers and rumours 08 09 section 3

http://www.lalaziosiamonoi.it/?action=read&idnotizia=12331

It seems that lotito has offered Ledesma €500.000/season until 2014, the difference is that the previous offer was about €1M,

So Ledesma will leave this poor club of lotito. Maybe lotito is saving money to win the challenge for ibrahimovic against milan. If milan are offering 80 millions then lotito will offer 80 millions and 100 euros.

bravo Lotito

Is this a joke......

Cash, It usally start 1st july-31st of aug...I assume it would be the same this year..

This morning the following rumours have occured (to me by a friend who is an agent, but also through the ordinary web sites):

We are again interested in Arnautovic, but also in a youngster named Coutinho (playing for Vasco da Gama), both in the hands of Inter. Probably this is a deal that would include Kolarov, whom Lotito is expecting around 18 mil for. At the same time Lotito stated that no official negotiations over the Serb have taken place yet.

On Floccari Lotito has responded that there is plenty of time, and that the mercato is still not open (when does it officially open and close this year??).

On Zarate he has stated that there are no problems and no issues. He belongs to us,and he will remain with us. This has also been reported on several sites.

Hamburg wants to sell Marcus Berg, and again we are being his preferred destination.

Also Diego Souza from Palmeiras has been targeted by us, in an attempt to strengthen the team for the coming season. No clue about the validity in this case, but I saw that tuttomercatoweb reported on this as well (not sure if that makes it more or less reliable). He is an attacking midfielder, and if I am not wrong (or rather, if the net sites I have checked him up on are not wrong) he was awarded "Player of the year" in Brazil 2009 (confirmation, anyone?). He was once owned by Benfica. Price: around 6 mil.

All just rumours, and I would put around 0 credibility to them, but its silly season and we are left with rumours to fill our boring days...

"It seems that lotito has offered Ledesma €500.000/season until 2014, the difference is that the previous offer was about €1M,..."
WTF...

Boghossian from Newells would be a good transfer for us...

He looks very promising (well at least on youtube), similar to Edin Dzeko, could be a gamble, but imo still a lot better than Caracciolo

What is strange?

sorry. Wikipedia is user editable, someone rushed the gun. Nothing is confirmed yet.

Hoffenheim reveal Lazio offer for Ibisevic

Lazio have launched a bid for Hoffenheim striker Vedad Ibisevic.

Hoffenheim says Lazio are offering £5 million for the centre-forward.

The Bundesliga club are reluctant to lose Ibisevic, but the player is keen to discuss terms with Lazio. Genoa are also monitoring the situation.

hope it doesn't mean the end of Flocc!

It's from tribalfootball, a website that you cannot trust. Plus from what I've read everywhere else, he has said no to moving to Lazio.

real offer 18 mil for kolarov - nice :)

Report in Spain say it's a done deal, Lotito keeps denying it. 18 mill would be a dream. Also then we could sign Pablo Pintos, the reports say the deal is done and we'll pay 2.5 mill € for him.

Which leaves 15.5 mill € for other reinforcements. Lotito recently said that Floccari's transfer fee will be paid in three yearly installments, so depending on how much we have to pay for the first installment, I guess we'll still have 10 mill for other players.

Martinez from Catania? Ibisevic?

Also if Pablo Pintos arrives, maybe Lichty decides to leave but if he leaves, I'm sure we could get a good price for him also....

This is going to be a loooong summer

Royston Drenthe has been mentioned as a makeweight in any Kolarov deal and to supposedly fill the left sided vacancy... not very enthusiastic about that, he may have been at completely the wrong club to improve but I don't really know if he ever had it in the first place.

I think Ibisevic for 5mil is about as likely as us selling Baronio for 5mil.

New name in the hat - Lacina Traorè, Ivorian striker from Cluj of Romania. The "New Drogba"!!! Traorè has a contract that expires in 2012, is followed by Galatasaray, Arsenal, Rennes and Hamburg. 19 years old, >2 meters tall.

Any news as to where Guarente is off to yet? Shouldn't we be aiming to improve midfield before we think about another forward (as long as Flocc is still on)?

Guarente is Napoli's target the last I heard.

I suspect Canales would be the makeweight in any deal (on loan, obviously). I reckon it is far from a done deal.

Tare says Lichti stays, Reja hinted he may go, Pintos is useful no matter the outcome. Napoli are hot on Guarente and he wants to go there from what I have read and Mancini is also interested so I would forget him.

Thanks for that both of you, I've forgotten him now
The left and right side options are going to be where the important stuff happens but we still need something for the central midfield, I'm a bit worried that there seems to be mainly striker links and not much else.
Still as you say Sile, it's going to be a loooong summer

I hope so that Lichti will stay. We need this type of fighters in our team.

I don't think Licht. will go anyway.. he was irritated during the Balla. era, but now with Reja he found his feet back.. he's too important for us to lose..
abt Kolarov, I like the guy, obviously he's a huge talent.. but you can't expect him to perform 100% when his eyes are focused somewhere else.. that's what happened with Goran in the end of 08-09 season..
I read lots of news abt Ibisevic.. this young guy is a huge talent, he used to scare the smelling as out of everyone in germany.. he will form a great striking force alongside Flocc. and Zarate..

Got this info on Lazio Offside from an Inter fan on Arnautovic. Was unsure of his ownership:

"I dont know if this is true or not, but my recollection of the Arna deal is that inter has first right of refusal. Since he didn’t make the requisite number of appearances, Inter doesn’t have to buy him, but they can if they want. If Inter doesn’t want him, he reverts back to Twente.

Mou wasn’t all that happy with Arna – apparently he did not train well. But now that there is no more Mou, who can say what will happen."

I'm not sold on Arnautovic. The guy must be talented to get where he is now but by the same token, he has shown nothing to warrant any serious money being thrown on him.

I'm not a fan of Caracciolo because I don't think he is that good but I'd prefer him to Arnautovic as at least you know what you're getting.

A player of Ibisevic's quality would be immense, especially if we keep Floccari and Zarate.

Jorge Martinez coming in for Foggia would be huge as well. Martinez has far far more substance to his game than Pasquale.

Martinez would be a great addition.

Lotito asked for 18 mil for Kolarov, Real answered with Drenthe plus 8 mil. Lotito wants more.

Arnautovic is going back to Twente, according to his agent. Then what will happen is hard to say. How good is he really? I have never seen him play.

Ibisevic for 5 mil? Must be a joke. In any case, if we are keeping Rocchi and Zarate, and cant get rid of Makinwa, we should only add one more striker, meaning that Flocc and Ibisevic both arriving would be a waste. What happened to our youth products? No one good enough to be considered an addition to the coming year's squad? Mendicino?

Lichty is considering a move to England, Man U has been mentioned together with Chelsea and West Ham. The guy is a great player to have for any squad, but if we would sell I think we would make a great profit and invest in one or two new players. If he has a godd WC and two or more clubs want him, Lichty could become the best deal Lotito has ever made...
