Sergio Floccari is confirmed to Lazio

I think he should be useful to us. He can be a target man that takes away some heat from Zarate or Rocchi.

Even on his "poor" first half of the season, he still scored 4 goals in 11 matches i think.
Bianchi was already struggling in Man City (1 or 2 golas I think) and thus was not an effective signing.

Welcome Sergio and good luck!

If Floccari scores 10-15 goals in half a season, i'll tattoo a picture of Lotito on my arse with a red heart around it as a border

you are on ! :)

I think Floccari - Zarate can be as leathal as Cassano - Pazzini.

If

1. Zarate learns to pass.
2. The midfield learn how to play football.
3. Lotito sells the club.

Floccari is not confirmed.
I am wondering why we did not give the 700k per year Floccari will get to Pandev so he can stay....or why not give them to Ledesma, the midfield is the problem...
Cant we see that when Ledesma stopped playing it all went down the toilet?

his agent says he signed

this is a good player,but we need a player who create a game,beacouse baronio is not in the form.

Welcome Sergio

i agree with Mark

Welcome Sergio

WELCOME AND GOOD LUCK

A good move IMO although I'm wondering whether someone like Arnautovic would have been a better option for Lazio but nonetheless I'm excited about Floccari.

Especially when you consider that Pandev has left, Cruz is out injured with a serious injury, and both Makinwa and Inzaghi aren't exactly what you'd call match winners. Zarate and Rocchi haven't had a good season either so its a good move.

But I agree - now a central midfielder - if not two, needs to be brought in. Cigarini keeps on being linked with us, as does Bolatti and D'Agostino. Its very unlikely someone like Veron will arrive, and I really don't see Ledesma being reintegrated back into the squad either.

All the best Sergio! Give it your all!

Why is that?

What has Arnautovic done? At least Floccari has one decent season under his belt.

Wow..what a transfer. We start tomorrow and we got ...Floccari. WOW !!

I hope he won't be another Bazzani. But all the players seem to be excited by his arrival (baronio and Brocchi). Do they know something we dont?

ANyways, Floccari seems to be a man with something to prove. And for sure he's better than Makinwa and Inzaghi combined. I am happy we added another tooth to the attack.

Now let's concentrate on midfield and defenders Lotito!

I didn't mean it in a negative way mate, just in a tactical point of view.

I just think that Arnautovic holds the ball up very well (at least he did so in the Dutch league with Twente), and would thus allow Zarate more space to run into and create, and have better chances on goal because this season I don't think we have seen enough of that. Cruz was brought in to do that but he hasn't been as effective as we would have liked. I don't know if Floccari can be as effective in such a role because thats not his style so much, but I am definitely certain Ballardini will use him the best way possible. Thats all I meant.

I really like Floccari and I am excited he is at Lazio. He had a brilliant season with Atalanta a year ago and I have faith that he can rediscover that at Lazio. Even with the 11 games he has played at Genoa this season, he was managed to score 4 goals. Thats more than any of our players. It will be interesting to see where Ballardini fields him and if the formation will change somewhat.

And it seems as though Sergio has chosen the number 20 shirt!

I get what you mean now.

I was thinking more along the lines of their age and experience. For me, too many strikers have phenomenal records in the Dutch league and failed badly when they move to a bigger league. And Arnautovic only had one decent season in Holland, last season. (where he scored as many as Floccari did for Atalanta, ironically).

Balla is going to do what Delio did when we got Bianchi and try a tridente. And I am not definitely certain that he'll use Sergio in the best way possible. If he's going to play a front 3, Floccari must be the central striker and I'm not 100% sure that he will be.

Actually that does sound likely come to think of it now the tridente will surely be implemented - but maybe Floccari will be given the central position with Zarate and perhaps Foggia on either side. Hoping for the best!

WOW!

Poacher has arrived!!! Good to see someone finish off some chances, easy goals maybe but he was in there in the right place at the right time - just what we needed! Bravo Sergio.
PS- hope he just had a bit of cramp or was a bit tired from lack of game time.

you animal!!

Already love the guy! Grazie Sergio!!!!!

Always in the right place , always in the right time , it's my new year wish for that guy...
Thanks and keep it up Floccari.....
