Transfers and rumours 08 09 section 3

Olivera on loan would be an interesting option - but buying him straight away is quite a risk - and for the reported 9 million Euros is ridiculous. I like his style and it has served him well in Spain, but with Milan he did not do so well and considering he is 29 and that we have been linked with players like Barrios and Berg recently, I would much rather Lotito goes for one of them instead.

Eliseu spoke about a possible return to Malaga later in his carrer:

“In my career I have had to work to achieve everything. Gradually, this has bore fruit, I am aware that I am not playing with a big European club in Lazio but I do not want to stop here, I want to keep moving upwards.”

I'd rather read such statements from players than obviously false opinions about how much they love Lazio. Let's face it, they don't, they are paid to play for us and pretty much all of them would leave if a bigger club wants them. That's the reality, I don't see why I should get offended at all.

Sadly thats the truth. Nobody cares ......

I agree. They play for money and most of them don't really care about the clubs they play in. Some of them start to love their clubs in some time but most of the players are like Eliseu. Thats reality guys ;]

Wow! 3 for 1 deal!

Paolo Sammarco linked to us in exchange for Zauri & Stendardo to Samp.

Zauri is rumoured to be a part pf deals all over the place...Livorno, Samp, Parma and even Bari...

Wow! 3 for 1 deal!

Crazy! But we need to decrease the size of the squad, so these kind of deals might be the solution. But three players for Pulzetti? I dont know about that one...

I think the 3 for 1 deal is good... If the players are not in the clubs plans and we cannot get rid of them, then not only are we cutting the squad size down, we are getting a player whom we think will do well for us and more importantly, cutting down our wage bill, which with 38 players I imagine is quite large, and burns a big hole in Lotitos pocket...

Cribari's agent has sent his tage at 2.5m!

Sorry I didnt know agent's can set the players value! hahahaha He says lotito wants loads of money but i think he can go for 2.5m and all Sabatini needs to do is call me and he will sign my client...

What is wrong with these agents?

Cribari should be at least 4 - 5m in my opinion..Or we should do everything we can to keep him..

Also it says that we are chasing Rosina..I still think for a cut price why not..

Pandev nearing Zenit Switch!!!

If this comes true we will get what we deserve for Pandev's value. They have offered 14m for him which would be brilliant..

But does depend on Pandev..He would play Champions league...But russian premier league I am not sure how glamourous that is for Pandev..

We should take this offer and run...Just depends on pandev..for me would be great to see him play for a team that doesnt affect lazio at all..id rather him outside of italy..

The Zenit rumours have reappeared but we will have to wait and see if there's any truth in it.

Not sure what the scenario is here but it does seem there is some truth to the rumour. Just hope the cash adds up

Zenit have definitely enquired about the player..that is official and have done so in the last few hours..

It is believed they are about to offer 15m for Pandev..

It remains to be seen whether Pandev will accept this though...

Would seem bizarre that he said he wants to play for a bigger club etc I mean Zenit would have a lot of money..But definitely not the Serie A that I am sure he prefers..

But if they are offering 4m a season or whatever..could be difficult to turn down, with the team playing Champions League aswell!!!

Lets hope he goes for 15m which gives us every opportunity in signing a very good striker..

The Zenit offer is tempting, at least for Lazio - don't know how Pandev sees it though. The other week Lazio were linked with Argentinian central defender Leandro Fernandez (of Zenit). A swap plus cash deal would be beyond ideal.

Agree with you there..

Would basically be killing two birds with one stone..Good strong central defender which we sorely need, and cash for either another striker..

Really not sure why Palacio's name isnt coming up...7m price tag...Boca need to sell...he is 27yrs old and a damn good striker..

Well...I think Leandro Fernandez isn't playing for Zenit at all! I think he is playing for Dynamo Moscow and hence the deal you are talking about would be a very, very strange one
But I must indeed admit, that the player is interesting

Some new updates..

Firmani - He is wanted by Brescia on loan..But I believe he is hoping to impress Ballardini and stay at lazio..

Vidal - He is a main objective of lazio it seems..The chilean wants a move to Serie A, and Tare believes that this deal will be done within a week..It is said that he's value is 7million..And as a central defender he has been likened to Desailly of the modern era..

LDS - It seems that in the last few hours, Fiorentina have again expressed their interest in LDS, Lotito has asked for Dainelli as part of the deal..

Lotito has also asked for 4m plus Dainelli..

Matuzalem - It is believed that the deal for Matu will be done today..as I understand it Carizzo will go on loan to Zaragoza with a fixed price at 10m with the option to buy...I am not sure what we get as an initial loan fee but it is believed that this deal is basically a done deal..

Taarabt - Reportedly Sporting Lisbon and Lazio lead chase for the 20yr old!

Cruz - The merry go round for his services continue as it claims that Roma and Lazio are fighting for his signature..Lazio or Roma havent commented on this at all..


Any thoughts on any of these?

Firmani - If the guy is not wanted and is not involved in first team duties, just sell him..what is the point of putting him on loan? doesnt need experience...I think its a waste for both parties..

Vidal - I don't know much about him to be honest, but they way they are talking of him he would be a central defender rather than a central midfielder as he has played for Leverkusen...7m is the fee...does anyone know if he would be a star for us? How would he come for 7m if Bayer paid 11m for him in the first place? From what I have seen he looks like a creative midfielder that can score goals..he played in the U20 championships as a midfielder for chile, so i am sure this guy is going to be a replacement for Ledesma and not a defender..

LDS - I am not really sure of this..What is being intended with our Central defense? If we get Dainelli...We have Dainelli,Diakite,Radu,Rozenhal,Siviglia...Seems like we have a lot of central defenders...Ballardini, has a lot of work to do...

Taarabt - Young, great skills..Needs to get out of the english game..doesnt suit him.. i think would be a good addition..

Cruz - Really not sure..He is free i guess but i think better to get someone younger..

And yes Joschi you are right hahaha Leandro Fernandez is at Dynamo Moscow so would make it hard for him to be involved in a Pandev deal with Zenit! hahaha

I have to agree, he has something that kid. I'd love if we took a gamble on him.

Couldn't agree more i doubt they could demand a massive fee for the youngster..so it may be a gamble that would pay off..

BREAKING NEWS

Onyewu signs for Milan!!!!!

http://goal.com/en/news/11/transfer-zone/2009/07/07/1368732/breaking-news-milan-sign-oguchi-onyewu-official

Unbelievable..

I don't see anything unbelievable in Onyewu signing ... just disappointed we didn't go after him

Congrats to Milan. If it is so that they were involved in discussions with him from the very start of this mercato, then no wonder we never moved any closer to him...


No really hot transfer on the radar at the moment. More like we are working in the silent. Some interesting names are spoken about, but I think we will see transfers as soon as we have sold some of our players.

Pandev should be sold at that price...

I think you misunderstood my comment...tone doesnt come through in text...

It is 'unbelievable' because I am disappointed we didnt go for him!!! not that he is a strange signing...

I am sure we were interested but given Milan are restructuring, he will start..and milan would be a more interesting option than us at the moment..

Vidal is just a massive utility player. Modern Desailly??? LOL what a joke...

I would not say he is a goal scorer just good at set pieces (not as the freekick taker). Hope we get him for that price.
