Transfers and rumours 08 09 section 3

Looks like Zaragoza aren't interesting in buying Eliseu off us..... but good news is that Malaga are keen.

Gyorgy Garics (Atalanta) is being considered for right back if Lichtsteiner leaves and Lotito fails to sign Antonelli.

Seems like the only money lotito "has" is the money he gets from the sale of Kolarov....seeing him fail in the first game for serbia i think real will think twice :)

you are saying Kolarov failed in the first game !?

For a rising star worth 20millions i say yes he failed. Had a less than average game.

he was playing defensively only, made just a couple of runs that is. but defensively he played very well!

Ezequiel Schelotto Would Be Thrilled With Lazio Move - Agent
The Cesena youngster would like a step up to a bigger club...


The agent of Italy Under-21 international Ezequiel Schelotto has said his client would be thrilled at the prospect of joining Lazio.

The player, who featured in Cesena's successful Serie B campaign last season, is also co-owned by Atalanta. The Argentina-born player is one of the most promising midfielders in the peninsula.

"Schelotto has a great desire to experience the reality of Serie A. He was a key player in Cesena's promotion and wishes to go as far as possible," Augusto Carpegianni told lalaziosiamonoi.it.

"Lazio? If they contact us we will sit down and talk, that's for sure. Everyone knows Lazio and the lad would be thrilled [to join them]."

Schelotto is considered as a potential heir to current Italy international Mauro Camoranesi, as they both are from Argentina and play the same position on the pitch.

Cigarini?

Schelotto would be a f**king brilliant signing.

I read Belhadj is very close to signing with us.. he would be a superb replacement for kolarov.. same attributes but maybe a bit faster, with not so powerful shot..

If that really happens I'll be amazed and really happy.

Real Madrid say Kolarov's price is too high. He might have to go to City.

Nadir Belhadj "is fascinated by the Lazio project". IMO he must've smuggled some weed into South Africa or Lotito spoke to him in Latin.

Joaquin Boghossian's agent is coming back to Rome (again)

Carrizo is going back to River. Loan with an agreed fee of 5 million if they want to keep him. This is a done deal.

Schelotto says he likes Lazio and used to support us when Veron and Simeone played for us.

Seeing how Taiwo (the other Real target) got injured, maybe Real will want Aleksandar after all.

As for Belhadj, Algeria is suspiciously close to Morrocco, which is notorious for excellent sh1t, which is what I suspect this dude enjoyed befoire making this statement.

Good riddance for Carizzo, too bad we can't get any money straight away.

The story with Boghossian is the usual hot-and-cold story that plagues every negotiation for every player Lotito ever wanted to get, ever. Same goes for Martinez, who is in Juve's sights, seeing how their attempt to get Krasic hit a roadblock. Not good in the "attack" department.

Schelotto, I know absolutely nothing about the guy. If he comes, good, if not, also good.

Talk about being greedy, he'd activate art 17 next season, and we would get nothing!!

Real abandon interest in Kolarov
Wednesday 16 June, 2010
Real Madrid have abandoned their interest in Lazio's Serbia international full-back Aleksandar Kolarov, according to reports in the Spanish Press.

Last week, Marca claimed Real had agreed personal terms with the player and were set to open negotiations with Lazio to discuss a fee.

Lazio President Claudio Lotito apparently aimed high, asking for €25m only for Real to say that they are unwilling to do business for such a figure.

However, Manchester City are still said to be interested, although Kolarov has publicly expressed his desire to move to Spain, much to Lotito's disdain.

Meanwhile, Lazio are also negotiating the sale of Cristian Brocchi who would like to move north to be closer to his family who live in Milan.

Kolarov will go to either Real or City. These articles are just made to decrease the amount of money Lotito wants.

25million is tooo fucking high.
But this is lotito and this means disaster.

Lazio snap up Uruguayan pair Wednesday 16 June, 2010

Lazio are on the verge of signing Alvaro Gonzalez and Pablo Pintos. “Everything is ready,” said the defender.

The Biancocelesti continue to search South America for fresh talent and appear to have completed two Uruguayan swoops.

27-year-old midfielder Gonzalez was awarded his Italian passport today, so can be brought in without affecting the limit on non-EU players.

A deal has reportedly already been done with Nacional Montevideo, so he only has to put pen to paper on a contract until 2015.

San Lorenzo full-back Pintos told the media at the San Lorenzo training ground that his transfer is imminent.

“Everything is ready for me to go and play for Lazio,” said the 22-year-old Uruguayan.

Lotito is looking at Arturo Vidal (Leverkusen), Emanuele Giacherrini and as already mentioned, Ezequiel Schelotto (both Cesena). Also Wisla Krakow seem to be keen on a loan deal for Meghni. Whats happening with Makinwa?

it seems martinez is VERY coles to fucking juve. I still prefer ederson anytime.

Schelotto would be the best solution for our future.

any reason why we would not have wanted a player that is italian 24yrs old..highly rated by a number of clubs...someone that we would sorely need in my opinion...and now he has gone to sevilla for reasonable money...disappointing

Disappointing is certainly the word rocky, Guarente was definitely the sort of player we should have been in for quickly after Atalanta got relegated - especially for that sort of money. Young, creative and experienced in Serie A, he would have been an improvement to our weakest area and could have linked play up well with the forwards. It seems strange to me that he has gone abroad as we know Italians don't exactly thrive in La Liga, although maybe he spoke with Maresca who did well there for a while.

Cigarini is certainly available and is another we should be looking at but most likely won't in favour of more South American possible talent. Bad season but undoubted quality.

Latest seems that we have lost out on Martinez to Juventus where a verbal deal has been agreed. Did we ever get near to signing him at all? Was he always going to Juve? Did the club screw up again by delaying things? Who knows, only thing is that it seems we won't be seeing him here...

Floccari must be signed now. Kolarov must be sold now. Then we can continue mercato, problem is Lotito and co. just spend so much time kicking their heels that everything slips through their fingers.

Exactly. Just surprises me...Not just that Lazio didn't look at him...But no one in Italy wanted him?? Same thing with Maresca..The guy did have talent...And he won trophies at Sevilla at least and played some Champions League...Seems that Serie A are more in favour of "the talent abroad" I know its nothing new, but someone also like Giovinco who does have great talent, will probably do the same...And its wrong...

Anyway, back to Lazio...We have a fighter at RB...Someone who will die for the shirt...I am sure Guarente is another that you want fighting for you in Midfield...And as Ed pointed out, he is not just a one trick pony as a fighter but he does have a creative prowess...

What defensive midfielders do we have? Dabo is gone..Brocchi who knows whats happening to him..But he is almost on the pension....Baronio is gone....Firmani also...Lets get some italian youth in this team!!!!! MIDFIELDERSSSSS HELLOOO?

As Ed pointed out, if Cigarini is available why not? But I am sure that Napoli even though haven't even played the guy, will demand millions for him...

Just can't understand it...Its such a weak area at our club and we pursue players like Boghossian (When we haven't even signed Floccari yet) and Pintos (When we have Lichty) I understand that we need more depth..Thats fine...But how about focusing on the MIDFIELD!!!!!
