It seems Belhadj is close to a move to Qatar and that our first choice LB is, and has always been, An­tonelli from Parma. 7mil or there abouts is the price - we want to include Cribari, Parma want Diakite. As ever, Lotito wants a deal on the cheap and is 'hoping' the price will fall to nearer 3mil (I assume including Cribari). If we could get rid of Cribari and get a good, young Italian player then great - lets just hope we don't spend ages negotiating this only to see it fail.

Another name to surface again is Manuel Pasqual of Fiorentina. He is seen as a possible option who would be easier to purchase. Average.

Kevin Prince Boateng, praying for him to join Lazio!!!

-Apparently we have made a bid of about 5M for Swedish midfielder Rasmus Christoffer Elm (22 years).

-We are being linked with Empoli forward Eder(rated 8M).He was Serie B(Season 2009–10) top scorer with 27 goals.

I've seen Elm play (he has 2 brothers I think who also are football players ) and I think that he would be a good transfer for Lazio if it happens. He is strong and could make a good couple with Ledesma.

I've seen Eder only on FM and there he is a good player but I haven't seen him in real life.

Eder is fantastic.

Man how could you forget Maki moving to Larissa.....its the biggest transfer move in Serie-A. Everybody is talking about it.

Oh YEAH!!!!! the guy was so excited abt it! he's reviving his career! DOOHHH!!!

well as usual we are linked to half of the active players under the value of 10 mil euro in the world...as it happens every year, we have our transfer obsessions (Hernanes, Ederson, Boateng and Belhadj this year)...
and as every year we will finally sign one of them and make another 4-5 transfers in the last day of mercato (31st of august).
and as in every year of transfers we seem to have signed some players but no official confirmation comes...this year they are Alvaro Fernandez (Uruguay) and Mark Bresciano....most probably 1-2 days before mercato ends we will find out that the deal will fail since one of them did not pass a medical exam or his mother was not really italian so the passport was not valid or that we have insufficient funds etc...

as for the out mercato, we are doing a bit better than in the past years...Makinwa is gone, Carrizzo will probably go to River, Baronio and Inzaghi are on the way out, if we are lucky we get rid of Cribari, Firmani and Manfredini...but we dont really get money in, as the offers for Kolarov, Ledesma, Foggia, etc seem rather gossip talks...

so a very normal transfer period...

and some more great news...

Genoa have beaten us to boateng!

Good lord we can't even lure players of his calibre...i'm not a huge fan of him but definately would have bolstered our stocks in the centre of midfield...

Will be interesting to see who the next name is!

Looks like Carrizo to River Plate is about to become official. Bresciano is, put a line under that one, that's not going to fall through.

Pablo Pintos is not official. Apparently due to it not being finalised before the FIGC's rule change.

Eder and Antonelli being eyed on co-ownerships.

Siviglia's departure confirmed by Seba himself

Thing is, people are speaking of relegation next season. Well, here's the thing, squad is now significantly smaller so our biggest problem has been addressed so if the majority were right, we're going to shoot up the table.

That is, if Reja doesn't stuff up. He wants to bring hate figure Zauri back. Oh dear...

Zauri hate figure? what is that all about. My memory might be bad here but I don't remember any problems with Zauri, apart from leaving us at a time where he was really good.
