    Cath, Based on our Calcio mercato, you should rename the article to “consider us done”.

    Disgusting and once again Lotito never fails to disappoint us fans.

    Lotito Merda.

    i would have to disagree for the simple fact that zarate is the most promising player we’ve had for years and we actually pulled out the cash to sign him permanently…rather than just talking about it all summer.

    i agree mitar…except i voted for bad. we got zarate and cruz which is good but we still have a massive squad that so many players could have been sold from. if ledesma is reintegrated to the squad i wont be half as dissapointed but the fact that pandev hasnt been sold is worrying. we better make some money from him

    I’m also for the third option, and I totally agree whit Aldo.We have massive squad and yet we still have problems in both central defender and midfielder position!?

    Ok, I tried to keep the poll simple and now everyone wants a “so-so” options? :(

    No worries guys, if you really are stuck on the fence, just pass on voting for this week but I’m sure most of you are leaning more to one option than the other. Don’t be afraid to select it, nobody is going to know :)

    our european squad is this apparently: Baronio, Bizzarri, Brocchi, Cruz, Cribari, Dabò, Diakitè, Foggia, Matuzalem, Makinwa, Iannarilli, Kolarov, Lichtsteiner, Mauri, Meghni, Muslera, Eliseu, Perpetuini, Radu, Rocchi, Sevieri, Sciamanna, Scaloni, Siviglia, Zarate.

    i cant believe ledesma has been left out i really expected him to re-imerge in the squad. pandev has been left out too and makinwa is introduced :(

    We can’t reintroduce Ledesma without reintroducing Pandev; we’ve a lawsuit on our tables, we can’t be seen to treat them differently.

    Team spirit can really carry this team through games; I trust that the right decision has been made but it will be a month or two yet before we will know.

    It does seem a real shame that Ledesma and Pandev are left out of the squadre. To be quite honest, I am starting to get quite pissed off at the whole affair.

    We have a big enough squad – I think this team has the quality to make it in the top 4 of serie A.

    Forza the squadre

    yes but ledesma is clearly needed more then pandev. honestly i wouldnt mind if both of them were in our squad too. maybe they will get league time but not europe so if there sold they can be sold for more because they arent cup tied

    i agree cath, we ll see a month or two.we have to believe our scuad for now, and they will give us their best. we need to stop mocking makinwa, baronio, manfredini, even siviglia. new season is new season. we will see new makinwa, new baronio, new manfredini and new siviglia. remember nando’s case? we felt hopeless in the past on him, but now he become our favourite. everythings magic. forza new 2009 lazio squad

    chandra ,nando is 21 years old these four guys that u said all together have 120 or more which is not that good and that’s why we need a defender and midfielder but who knows maybe as a whole group they will be successful FORZA LAZIO

    Barreto is ours but he’s 17, so he can’t turn professional and play for us yet.

    Agreed Aldo – they are not cup tied which will raise their price if we off them to a team playing in European competition – great point – let them rot in the reserves!

    Yes, that and the fact that we should be able to make it through the group stages without them anyway.

    It remains to be seen if either or both will get another chance in Serie A. I suspect not even if Lotito is softening his tone slightly.
