Transfers and Rumours Season 08/09

Cribari its one of the players more overrated of serie A. I hope that he will leave Lazio soon or at least that he don't will play.

The Lazio has identified the replacement of Valon Behrami. Il Presidente Claudio Lotito, impegnato soprattutto nel mercato in uscita, ha bloccato Stephan Lichtsteiner, centrocampista del Lille, classe 1984. The President Claudio Lotito, primarily engaged in the outbound market, has blocked Stefan Lichtsteiner, Lille midfielder, born in 1984. Nasce difensore ma negli ultimi anni è stato spesso provato a centrocampo, il club biancoceleste aspetta una telefonata dalla Francia per chiudere l'affare. Born defender but in recent years was often tried to midfield, the club biancoceleste expects a phone call from France to close the deal.

-TMW-

I think good choice. expected transfer fee 5m€

According to Gazzetta dello Sport website Vignaroli is going to Panathinaikos...

Gazzetta wrong. NOT Panathinaikos , promoted team Panthrakikos.

2 years contract 350,000 Euro per season.

Never heared about him!

Come on Lotito, bring in Fernandez, Pinzi, and Domizi and I will thank you for a job well done, without to forget to get rid of the useless players.

I don't understand your attitude towards Cribari. He is an excellent defender who had a bad season...but remember when he was playing with a mask, but still playing? He is a fighter...and he is just 28...his best year are still ahead of him...a Serie A defender reaches his maximum between 28 and 32...with his attitude, he is a more justified captain than Zauri or anybody else.

Good choice, but for 5 million we could have signed Dessena or Cigarini.

Has Belleri returned to Lazio? I always thought he was good back up to Oddo before and I still think he could do a good job as back-up.

Guys, Im a little bit worried about the big squad we have, we need to sell players and i dont see a lot of demand on them. transfer window is gonna close !!!

I'm not so impressed by either Lichtsteiner or Belleri...

Relax, we have more than a month to go. Let's wait and see.

We bought some player and now Lotito is selling all those which Rossi wont use ...

I agree, Cribari gives his all for this club, you can tell he loves us and he's ambitious. last season wasn't great for him, but we had problems and he expressed that and I stress that he expressed it rather than complained. the fact he is pushing for captaincy shows me that he's still ambitious and determined.

it's really difficult to know what's happening with our defense for next season though. it's beginning to look like Rozehnal and Cribari will be our 2 CB's, but if Domizzi or someone of that calibre came along, would they replace one of the mentioned 2.

I've never in my time of being Lazio fan, came across a season that is so unknown. last year we knew we hadn't reinforced enough prior to the league and this year, we have no idea what our final squad will look like at the minute, neither do we have any idea how they will perform.

Lichtsteiner ? Oh please ... This is as good as Belleri ..

Actually not. He plays in Swiss national team, so he must be a bit better than Belleri...

I know that he is a national team player and made a good season with Lille also, but I don't think we should take him ...

I cant see with what he will improve the team.
It is my personal opinion after all, I hope he could refute me, if he came.

It's too bad Behra wants to leave at all cost.....

Ledesma Asks For Raise

http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=773711

seems like Lotito must open his bank accounts in order to keep our squad together

although I am not particularly fond of players demanding wage rises, I can see their point, Ledesma and Pande, along with Rocchi are our 3 key players, Rocchi earns a lot more than them, I think they're deserving of it, although Ledesma and talk surrounding article 17 or whatever is not nice to hear.

at least Pandev is being truthful. I have no doubts he wants to stay at this club and bring them success and he would leave next year if he is ever going to leave because he won't leave Lazio on a free transfer, I don't think he'd do that to us.

but yes, Lotito needs to secure the players he wants and get rid of the players he doesn't want before he opens the chequebook and dishes out contracts.

It's just a game, they will get their money....

yes, I would expect so, I just hope Lotito doesn't hold out so oong that their respective agents line up other clubs, that would just be ridiculous.

hope we are in the clear....

What's about Ledesma now, 99.9% sure he leaves???

Yeah, next year...
Rocchi's agent played the same game last year...he asked for 1.5 mil, in the end they got 1 and all were happy...If I'm not mistaken, Ledesma and Pandev earn 750K per season, so it is normal they want more...let's see how much Lotito is willing to play...when u start signing new players and u pay more than the current veterans, is normal the they complain...now you see why Lotito is so cheap when it comes to contracts offered to the new players
