Lacking In Lure?
 
Lazio’s status in the transfer market is certainly murky at the moment but if you believe everything you read in the media then it seems we are in a bit of a scrap. Genoa are the latest side to have been linked with a move for Crespo . It appears they may be in the best position (financially, at least) to capture Hernan’s signature. Personally, I doubt the credibility of any ...

Market rumblings
 
Depending on what you read, the possible Lazio return of Crespo is either impossible, or in the process of being worked out . Reports yesterday claimed that the Biancoceleste were balking at the 33-year-old striker’s loan fee, yet today, Lotito is apparently meeting with Moratti. Clearly, we have to take things with a giant grain of salt, and see what develops (or what doesn’t, as ...

Something doesn’t add up…
 
In the wake of Rocchi’s injury woe, the media have been heavily speculating as to who will replace him. Three names in particular have been mentioned, Crespo , Bogdani and Pellissier . The most significant of these is certainly Crespo. It’s not difficult to see why he is linked to the club; he’s a free agent and a Lazio legend. Bogdani is also being talked about, which is ...

The official presentation
 
The team had its official presentation on Tuesday night, and ran out with a very (almost too) comfortable 2-0 victory against the Greek side, and Sérgio Conceição-led, PAOK Salonicco. Once again, the defensive back four of Lichsteiner, Siviglia, Rozehnal and Radu performed well enough, and when they stumbled, Carrizo was there to bail them out. I’d still like to see a new central ...

Son of a bitch.
 
Well, today is the team’s official presentation at Olimpico, and it was supposed to be a good day. So much for that . As it turns out, Tommaso Rocchi ’s “minor” injury is a much more serious fracture to the fibula, and his recovery time is not yet known. The worst part? He was misdiagnosed by the national team medical squad, who told him it was a muscular problem, ...

What we’ve learned…
 
Well, with two European friendlies down and one more to go tomorrow, a few things have started to make themselves clear about this latest version of S.S. Lazio, particularly when it comes to some of the new signings and player returns (hello Foggia). Here is my take on the good, the bad, and the ugly gleamed from the tussles with Liverpool and Porto (both 1 goal losses by the way, but ...

Pekin Boys
 
Olympic football kicked off today , and Lazio fans have three reasons to tune into games in the middle of the morning: Aleksander Kolarov, Tommaso Rocchi and Lorenzo De Silvestri. The ever developing Kolarov is reportedly going to be in the Serbian starting 11, while Rocchi and Lorenzo are both being counted on by Casiraghi to play a big role in Italy’s gold rush. As most Serie A ...

Back in the saddle again
 
Well it’s back to reality today for me after a little holiday, so let’s dive right in. In the last ten days it seems the Lazio careers of Ledesma, Stendardo and Mutarelli have all come to a boil, and we’ll likely see the three on the way out sooner rather than later. There isn’t much surprise when it comes to Stendardo and Mutarelli, as the former forced himself ...

See you later…
 
As expected, Behrami ’s transfer has been completed , and the Swiss International is now a member of West Ham. Aside from the fact that this soap opera is finally over, the good news is that the team was able to get 5 million pounds for ol’ Valon, which was more than first reported, and potentially more than he’s worth. Good on Lotito for getting something positive out ...
