Transfers and rumours 08 09 section 3

I feel kind of sorry that David will leave. Not we must get not one but two good central defenders..or we`ll have the same old issue. I wonder if Lotito is sleeping or something..

Well, what we really need is a new president.. end of story

I think Lotito will make his moves....just a little patience....remember its his money in the business not ours...if rozehnal will be sold then you should respect that decision...until the window is closed you should wait

Mercado: Un millón de euros, la diferencia entre Lazio y Lugano
El defensa uruguayo llega como libre y pide mucho para firmar: dos millones y medio. Lotito le ofrece 1,5. ¿Habrá acuerdo?

Goal.com reports that the only thing separating lugano from signing for lazio is 1 million euros, he demmands 2,5 while lotito offers 1,5 plus bonuses, i hope they can reach an agreement.

Hmm don't know much about futbol transfers / contracts but maybe if lugano wants to sign multiple year contract, it should be 1.5 + bonus first year, with option of resign for at least 2-2.5 mil if he stays in good form for following year.. something like that possible?

Somebody on this board always keep saying that .. who was that??

seems like arsenal give us the price for gallas-7 mil,also with roz almost complete th deal with hamburg

decent, and hes a great defender.

In German media they say we get 4.9 Mil for Roz which is, i think, a very good deal for us...
and by the way, they describe Lotito as "the crazy Lazio president who wanted more money than agreed upon..."

Don´t laugh! This man is bringing shame on the club!! To call someone crazy is to show 0 respect and I would like the football community to respect our president - which is impossible as long as his name is Lotito.

I hope now we can get Lugano. I think that he is worth a two million euro a year contract considering his talent, age and experience but I have my concerns. Only Zarate gets that much and other members of the first eleven such as Muslera and Kolarov are on 250k.

Ah! So you're saying he should just change his name? Why didn't you say that ages ago?

Seriously though, Rozehnal had completed his 4.9 m move to Hamburg, Bojinov is of interest to Parma now and Cruz claims he has not negotiated with Roma.

Parma have got Bojinov on loan. That doesn't bother me as he has so much to prove fitness wise and we can't carry anymore deadwood. He looked so overweight and unfit the last time I saw him for Manchester City, understandably due to his injuries but we couldn't really afford to risk such a player, even as a reserve.

Now Roz has gone, I hope we see progress with the central defender situation, although I am still sure that Stendardo could be the player we have been missing, especially as there aren't a lot of decent options available to us.

Yeah, Stendardo, the player who got relegated with Lecce, very promising....

I know what you are saying Dejan but if you look at what we have then Stendardo has much more physical prescence combined with good heading ability, something our defenders are poor at. If I remember he didn't play that many games for Lecce, especially near the end of the season, so I don't think you can read too much into that. The main reason he was loaned out was due to the falling out with Rossi, not due to his ability.

I am thinking of what we currently have and the real possibilty that we may not buy a quality defender, leaving us with the scary option of Siviglia again or giving Stendardo another chance - I know what I'd take!

This is the first season of the new uefa cup which means exposure above normal for the uefa cup. We are going with a team that so far looks ... well poor. I hate Lotito and want to beat him to death with a teddybear - yes a teddybear ... I want it to be a slow death

You reckon one CB could keep a whole team affloat? Not even Cannavaro 5 years ago could do that.

I couldn't agree more...

I agree, clearly Stendardo is a better option that siviglia. If Radu is moved to central defence and Diakite develops through the experience that he gained last year then all is not lost. Still, the centre back area for me is easily the worst part of our team and with Rozenhal exiting we have lost a player of decent quality. Lotito said that players who went would be replaced, lets see if he is true to his word. I think he probably will be, but there is so much uncertainty in our mercato.

We need two serious central defenders, not jokes like stendardo and siviglia.

I'm going to wade in here and say my piece

A huge part of what happened to us defensively was Rossi and in addition to that, his tendency to bow under fan pressure. First of all, he began the season with the tried and tested Siviglia and the relatively solid Rozehnal. The problem with this for me was that clearly Sebastiano's legs are going; his head can be in the right place but the legs are going and I don't feel this is a harsh statement for I'd say the same about Nesta or Cannavaro who I believe are actually younger than him. Age catches up with people you know; there are few exceptions.

Rozehnal is just an average defender; there is no real improvement in him, we're talking about a guy who was good at a poor PSG side and forced out of Newcastle. Sure, he turns in a set of decent performances when surrounded by fellow Czechs who speak his language and are fairly decent players in their own right but Lazio is a completely different matter.

Stendardo had a fall out with Rossi; he did very well for us until that point. Juve took a punt on him and the media were speculating that he could make the national team. At 25/26 years of age, that was a mega place to be. So, the prospect of having Guglielmo back is mouthwatering and his achievements at Lecce should be overlooked; it's 1 year of his career at a club he probably didn't want to be playing for.

Cribari is a strange case. I've stated many times in the past why I believe he's our best defender but I truly think a partnership between him and Rozehnal would have worked last season if it was given a fair chance. They were excellent in their first game together and do you guys remember what killed it? That unfortunate slip by Rozehnal. Delio decided to switch things around after that.

Radu is believed to be a competent centre-back but he is still, in my opinion, an unknown entity. Suggestions that he should start for us are sort of ludicrous. Only Ballardini can really determine that. The same goes for Diakite'. Some of you may remember me begging for him to be given a chance last October/November only for me to receive a backlash. Two months later, people hastily changed their opinion. My viewpoint hasn't changed; he is a talent, potentially a very good defender who needs game time but he is a year or two off becoming a permanent fixture for us. That, I believe, is the reality.

Stendardo and Cribari would form a solid backline and Radu and Diakite' are the perfect back-ups; nice, fresh, spritely beings. Even with Rozehnal's departure, I don't think we need Lugano, I really don't think he is better than what we have got and I rather that money goes towards buying a top quality midfielder because goodness knows Matuzalem/Dabo/Brocchi are hardly bulletproof and it doesn't entice Ledesma into staying. Some will say "but sure Lugano is free" but it would be foolish to believe that neither player or superagent won't get a little upfront payment from our president.

However, that is just my opinion and if you actually read all that, kudos to you

Ok tell us now once for all, What has this man done to you or your family? I mean beside according to many "fucking up" the club you love so much, but we all love Lazio, though your hate towards this man seems to be on a personal level, I don't even wanna ask if he raped or killed someone you love..but it makes one wonder...Have you ever met him?
For me, he is just another capitalist in a capitalist system, what to do? I myself want world wide revolution and uprising against oppression and globalization, exploatition etc etc...you can't even buy food without helping the rich getting richer and the poor even more poor, so what can I do? the whole world of football is becoming crazy and sick, why only Lotito to blame?? Nesta had to leave in able to save us? Ronaldo/Kaka to real?? Abramovitj of Chelsea? Dreyfuss of Marseille?? The BLOODSTAINED Oil-money of Man City? just few examples... Don't hate the player, hate the game...or have I missed something?

I am not so convinced about Stendardo, I remember him having quite some awfull games when he played for us. What I espcially noted was he bad timing and the fact that he is not so fast. I think one top quality centre back is what we really need.
