despite the spin from his agent, Lazio and Stankovic seem to be far apart on salary.. http://www.planetfootball.com/article.asp?id=164136&Title=English+interest+in+Stankovic+confirmed Inter is pushing hard and it appears Lazio may sell him in the winter... the shame of it is they gave him the #10 and would make him captain if he signed. But the situation is clearly affecting his play...at this point Lazio might be better moving Fiore inside and getting another winger...
Now that we have Albertini his loss would be bearable, but I want him to stay. He played well last year, and we need more young players, especially of his quality. I really hope this works out. Besides, how many midfielders does Cuper need? I guess he REALLY doesn't like Zanetti as a holding mid.
well, Stankovic scored (helped by a deflection) in the bad 2-2 draw at Empoli... the bigger problem on the team is the central defense. Stam was out and the others got beat (as they are terribly slow) on both goals...Couto, Miha, Negro..don't cut it anymore...
I'm more convinced than ever Stankovic will leave for Inter. The fans booed him in Sundays win over Chievo, can't say I blame them after his summer pledge to Lazio (wanting to be captain, etc). ... short blurb, Baraldi makes it seem like there's not much talk with his agent. http://www.lazioworld.net/news/EpyVyEVFylbxnGYhEH.html Too bad the Pizzaro deal didn't go through, he's been one of the league's best midfielders and would be an upgrade on the way Deki is performing...
