Cribari and Belleri both official from Udinese: http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/jul8e.html Cribari is a pretty good player, I imagine he competes with Lequi and Piccolo for a starting role in the center of defense. Rossi has ruled out a move for Dellas, but it appears Parma will allow Siviglia to stay at Lazio on a free... Belleri will likely serve as backup to wingbacks Zauri and Oddo if they feel 17yo prodigy De Silvestri isnt ready.
Apparently, an agreement has been reached with Tare but now terms must be reached with Bologna. http://www.laziofever.com/news.php?section=news&subject=Agreementreachedwith.php
Bolano for Inzaghi? Pretty decent deal for us if it is agreed upon considering Simone is useless. http://www.laziofever.com/news.php?section=news&subject=TradeBolanoforInzagh.php Terlizzi to Lazio? http://www.laziofever.com/news.php?section=news&subject=PalermoTerlizziwants.php
heres a good roundup of todays rumors: Once the Vieira to juve thing is done, Blasi would move to Lazio on loan. Now that Pizarro is out of Udinese, a Pinzi-Liverani swap is possible.. To me if the central midfielders are Blasi, Baronio, Pinzi and Dabo thats excellent. Bests its been in several seasons. Tare looks set, Muzzi to Bologna seems the swap there. End of the story says Lotito wants to ink either vet Couto or Siviglia to compliment the young defenders.. http://ilmessaggero.caltanet.it/vie...01_NAZIONALE&npag=31&file=C.xml&type=STANDARD
Part of the Pizarro deal was Inter selling their 50% stake in Pandev, so do you think Udinese might propose their 50% stake of Pandev for Liverani instead of Pinzi?
Oddo has put in a transfer request http://skysports.planetfootball.com...&title=Oddo+asks+to+leave+Lazio&channel=italy
I'm split on the Oddo thing, I think if Belleri can hold the fort down for a while and 17 yo De Silvestri is a rising star than moving Oddo is fine. A possible swap with Blasi here?: http://sports.virgilio.it/it/cmc/calcio/200529/cmc_85205.html He's certainly a cut above Dabo and Firmani...I've long felt that the best protection for a suspect defense is a destroyer like Giannichedda and Simeone were in midfield...Blasi could be that guy. But we have decent players in the middle, I'd rather sell Oddo and buy a young right wing midfielder where we have no talent at all.
More news on the Tare deal.. http://www.laziofever.com/news.php?section=news&subject=Taretosign3yeardealt.php
He was born in Kosovo but from what I have read his primary nationality right now is Swiss. He is an attacking midfielder who plays wide most of the time. He is supposed to have a bright future but that remains to be seen.
Apparently, goalkeeper Luca Castellazi has left Torino's training camp and might join Lazio....most likely as a backup. http://www.laziofever.com/news.php?section=news&subject=SurprisingdealCastel.php Rumours about a possible Blasi, Birindelli and Oddo swap persist. http://www.laziofever.com/news.php?section=news&subject=LaziopushingforBlasi.php
Getting Behrami is quite the move, he is thought of as a top right wing midfielder prospect. Taking his medical in Rome today. Lazio is paying cash for Verona's half and will eventually pay Genoa (cash + Dabo) for their half depending on if they are allowed in serie a. All of a sudden a midfield of Cesar, Blasi, Liverani (or Baronio) and Behrami looks pretty good. here is more on the Oddo for Blasi/Birindelli swap. http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/jul25b.html my fear is when you deal with moggi you get screwed usually. If Oddo is going full ownership they better get Blasi's full ownership or 50/50 each or straight loan each....I guess Birindelli and Belleri would battle for the RB position.
It seems like Lazio will have the option to completely own Behrami next year. http://www.laziofever.com/news.php?section=news&subject=Behramitobetotallyow.php
Speaking of the newest member to our forum, I've always hoped Fiore might be back.....................
things have slowed with Juve on the Blasi/Oddo front. Apparently they are trying to get C Zanetti as cover (because you can never have enough top class backups midfielders)... I really like this team if Blasi can be brought in as additions like Tare and Cribari aren't glamourous but fill big needs...if Cesar wakes up this yr and Behrami is the real deal theres finally promise.
Lazio could possibly sign Polish midfielder Kamil Kosowski. Anyone have any info on this player? http://www.laziofever.com/news.php?section=news&subject=KosowskilinkedtoLazi.php
Kosowski is a wide midfielder, I vaguely remember him from a uefa cup match yrs ago. Could be handy if Cesar never gets back his form. a little roundup of the latest rumours...it seems Lotito is trying to take advantage of the plight of genoa and bring Parisi to Lazio as a left back and move Zauri over to the right side. Also from Torino midfielder Mudingayi. Less exciting names include defensive midfielder Bolano from Parma, as well as Siviglia's return and young striker Rosina. A pair from Perugia are rumored. http://www.iltempo.it/approfondimenti/index.aspx?id=744544 nothing on the oddo-blasi swap...tho juve continues to push for C Zanetti so hopefully that leaves them ready to move Blasi out.
Rosina's skills have really impressed me in the past with the U-21s. I was surprised when Parma loaned him to Verona last year.
I believe he is out of contract but Lazio would still owe Parma something cause he's underage. Todays rumors are Dellas on a free...and if anyone saw Lequi or Sannibale try to play center back against OM thats a clear upgrade. Also young defender Standardo from Perugia. Lazio still covets Blasi, while contacting Ternana about winger Jiminez potentially with the idea of moving Behrami to the center mid position (with Liverani now out a month to injury). http://www.iltempo.it/approfondimenti/index.aspx?id=747008
Lazio sign defender Guglielmo Stendardo from Perugia and midfielder Gaby Mudingayi from Torino. Any insight on these players? http://www.laziofever.com/news.php?section=news&subject=LaziosignedStendardo.php
