Transfers and Rumours Season 08/09

3 more new players, that's okey if it is true.
Palacio is a big dream, he looks like Obi One Canobi (Star Wars) but whit some big football skills and after hime, Fernandez from River Plate would be good. We need a defensive player, I wanted Barzagli but he is out of my mind now. And the player from Fenerbache seems to be real bullshit, so who would it be? Thuram?
A little bit of my dreams in this text!

Valon Behrami? Caio! Good player but if he want's to leave then I just have too say "Diten e Mire" and it means "Have a nice day" in albanien. I hope Lazio get some good money for that kid, beacuse we need it! Every Euro is important for us.

NON MOLLARE MAI!!!

ok, so this is interesting.

Behrami is leaving and we will bring in someone else.

My understanding is that Lotito is bringing in a defender, a midfielder and a striker.

One striker? Who is he? Palacio? Amoruso? Jarka?

anyone else see a problem here!?

I also see a problem...only 3 names??? what about the other departures? Behrami, Mutarelli, Mudingayi, Zauri and hopefully Baronio, Inzaghino, Tare, Viganroli...i count already 8 out and only 3 in...

i think we need more reinforcements:
-one central defender
-2 wingers (one left, one right)
-one central midfielder (preferably an attacking one)
-one striker
.............
5 new players

Let us hope that those words are true. Let us hope that Lotito will bring three more (promised) players that are similar qualities of players brought in, for what, as I've wrote before, I am convinced of.
I think, and Lotito and all of you are aware, that we also need to off load players such as Inzaghi, Baronio, Manfredini etc, which in this case it seems problem because nobody wants them. And here lies the problem because someone could try and rid off players such as Del Nero or Meghni, because if they are ment ti be substitutes than it is better to have someone younger, with possibility of getting better, then someone old and spent.
What I am saying is that sometimes to get rid off some players is equally good as to bring in players.

Let's hope we keep Foggia then if we are only bringing in 3 players. I hope Amoruso isn't included in the 3 either.

"Se Behrami va via, prenderemo un difensore, un centrocampista e un attaccante. Il modulo tornerà ad essere il 4-4-2, così vuole Delio Rossi." This is Lotito words from interview with il Tempo. He didn't say that Behrami definitely leaves.. His words was "If Behrami leaves, we'll buy a defender, midfielder and a striker. And our formation again will be 4:4:2 because Rossi wants it" But in the same interview our mr president said that he did everything possible to keep Behrami in his squad, and player himself wanted to stay, but his agent wanted Behrami to leave with that stupid FIFA article.


And about Jeremy Menez. His agent calls him as one of most promising french football talents, and that Lazio wanted him (as we all know), but his prise - 10mln euros - were too big for our club

If Behrami leaves, than the main focus should be at bringing a right wing midfielder, which are quite few in circulation I must admit.

Something new about Palacio , or other perspective players from South America ?
I haven't got internet last 3 days , and now I am hungry again for rumors and speculations
Lotito , where are you

Of course 3 new players, Larry, Moe and Curly

Haven't we learned something from lotito, he was the only one bought 9 players an hour before transfer window close, and where are they now? Brian Robert, Mea Vitaly, Esteban Gonzales?

I remember last season, when Mr.Presidente promised us 3 new players, which was Ivan Artipoli

I can't speak Italian, but there is an article on the official Lazio site regarding Makinwa, Diakite and Del Nero. What does it mean and is it transfer related?

Well we do have Foggia who could yet come back to us. If he does he can play on the right wing, I realise he isnt as defensive minded as Behrami but he could prove to be useful.

Regarding Palacio, the latest i read is that Barcelona are also interested and now Lotito has offered 18 million Euros. The problem is Palacio seems to prefer Spain to Italy, but the Boca president is trying to lure him to Lazio. We will see...

Since when did we have 18 million? Lotito is probably intending on paying them at a rate of 2 Euros per season or something .

18 million dollars for Palacio not Euros ... it's like 14-15 million euros ...

thanx.. :)

$18m is around €12m.

It's Ok Man .. we are here for lazio and for each other .. everyone can make a mistake .. :)

we hope to get palacio as soon as possible ..

Napoli just bought germain Dennis from independiente for 8 million euros .. he is a good scorer .. but iam not sure if he can do a good job with Napoli in Serie A .. we will see ..

palacio wants barca .. boca's president wants him for lazio .. it's a hard Mathematical equation.. 11.5m euros is not that much for him .. it's the ideal price for palacio ..

my Regards ..
thanx :)

If u r Boca's president and you have an offer for Barcelona for Palacio for 18 millions euro (not $$$$) and after 1h Lotito calls you and offers 12 millions, what would you say?

(a) Thanks, but no, thanks.
(b) F**k off
(c) Sure, why don't you give me also Baronio, Tare, Inzaghi and Belleri and I can offer you also Riquelme, Palermo and Castroman

If you r Rodrigo Palacio and you get an offer of max 1 million euro per year from Lotito, and the an offer from Barcelona of probably 2-3 millions per year, what would you say?

(a) I choose Lazio, cause I don't need money anyway
(b) I choose Lazio, cause I don't want to play in Champions League
(c) F**k off Lazio, I go for money and fame!

first dont underestimate Baronio , he's neither a gloryhunter nor a money seeker, he's a great player who never had a chance to prove his worth, refering to his previous performances with brescia reggina .... 2000 was picked top young player of serie a if u check the list ud find most of the players are from totti's cassano's delpiero's pirlo's caliber who got this prize ! 2nd when he got the chance to leave for a regular place he refused and insisted on fighting for a regular spot unfortunately mr Rossi does not want to try the likes of Baronio favoring Ledesma who was a big flop this year of him.
3d why would Palacio who could have left 4 5 years ago imo he;s no longer ayoung player choose a team like barca who have 4 5 top striker and know that he would not fit perfectly in this squad?

Sky: Lazio chiude per Fornaroli
Secondo sky il club di Lotito avrebbe chiuso l’affare Fornaroli, il giovane centrvanti uruguagio sarà ufficializzato nel momento in cui otterrà il passaporto comunitario. La Lazio segue con grande interesse il trequartista dell’U21 Russotto

If I can understand,Fornaroli will come in Lazio.....

http://www.calciomercato.com/index.php?c=8&a=84360

The Fornaroli rumour is the only one I've believed to be true so far.

The Palacio story is beginning to look weird. Is there a possibility that Lazio are involved in bumping up the price of Palacio's transfer to Barca in order to get a cut-price deal for another Boca player.

It's just a theory, but we've been linked to many Boca players this summer and we all know that not only is it unlikely we have that much money to spend on Palacio, but it is also unlikely for Lotito to spend that much money.

Rumours don't come out of nowhere, but there is no way we are actually interested in spending 12million euro on Palacio!

then lazio should find a back up for ledesma position....baronio n firmani are not good enough based from their performance in 07/08 season....

I have one question:
Is Radu official our player?
According to sslazio2000.net Stefan Radu is our. But according to www.transfermarkt.de he isn't our: http://www.transfermarkt.de/de/verein/398/laziorom/transfers/uebersicht.html

But from the interview of Lotito [http://goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=731269] Radu is our!

First, do u realize that Baronio has one of the biggest salaries in Lazio? 750 000 per season...so keeping him is loosing money every year...
Second, Palacio is 26, so he has 10 years ahead of him...so yes, he would better choose Barca...especially now when Eto, Deco and Ronaldinho will be out...just imagine Palacio, Messi and Bojan playing together...

according to today media, Behrami could go to Palermo in exchange with Guana (if it happens, it will be the worst transfer Lazio ever made. Better sell him for 2 millions than exchange with another useless player). Meanwhile, Lotito and Behrami's agent will meet in a next few days.

Boca Juniors accepted 12mln euros offer. Now it's up to Palacio to accept or not Lotito's offer.

David Rozehnal could leave us this summer. UEFA cup winners Zenit are interested in buying Rozehnal and willing to offer Lotito around 9mln euros. (I personally don't believe in this story)

And about other attackers. Amoruso isn't Lazio player yet. And Lazio again is chasing Andrea Russotto. (I was waiting this news since our last game against Napoli)
