Time Ticking On The Broc Clock
By: cathal | January 29th, 2009The abysmal week we have had has done little to inspire our individuals to stay at the club and the first real evidence of that is beginning to appear. Today it was made aware that Cristian Brocchi is not exactly happy at Lazio. The reason? Apparently he doesn’t like having to sit on the sidelines here. I guess leaving the bench at Milan for Lazio would seem like a bit of step backwards at the current time.
Broc is not the kind of guy who would just walk out and desert his team. He’s quite loyal and faithful and I don’t think there’s any danger of him escaping our grip in the next few days. However, I do understand that he needs game time at his age and if Dabo is to be preferred by Rossi then I wouldn’t begrudge him if he goes. He came here for free, his wage is ridiculously high for someone who is benched and he has only a few years at the highest level left ahead of him anyway. I question how beneficial it would be for us to keep him. In saying that, I would rather see him in the team than Ousmane. Cristian has that ability to harrass opponents and make life very difficult for them. That’s a quality we are lacking; I can’t really think of anyone who scurries back like Brocchi does but then again, the older he gets, the less scurrying he is capable of so what he brings to the team is fairly limited. Should we decide to let him go this summer, Cabaye would be the logical choice to bring in. Someone who has the defensive skills but also a bit of attacking flair and creativity would be handy.
Whether he stays or goes, I won’t be jumping for joy or shedding tears. He is not a necessity but not deadwood either and whatever his decision come June, we should respect it and let him have his way. Keeping Pandev and Ledesma would obviously be of more concern to us.

honestly i’m starting to get suspicious about ledesma if you watch more careful he is makeing lot of bad passes and lot’s mistakes.i mean he is a good player and we always saying that meghni or mauri or someone else is blame but the most blame should take ledesma because he is the brain of the team and if the midfield is not good then i think it’s he’s fault
p.s. for the last two matches i can’t say nothing about the midfield and the attack the defence is the place where we need some changes,as cathal said in GOOD or BAD we r lazio fans so….FORZA LAZIOPosted from

I think that midfield is the most important and that’s excacly the rotten part in our team.Instead of midfielders everyone expects the game to be created by Zarate and Pandev. What we need now is a true connection between defence and attack. I also think that Delio Rossi shuld make space for Foggia in the first team.Kolarov is a good player but he is showing infantility on the pitch and a lot of the attacks are wasted because of a side back.
For Lazio with love from Macedonia, thank you Cathal for being my most relevant media for Lazio informations

you’re welcome Dejan.
Actually it is an interesting point you make and it’s one many of us agree on I’m sure. Interestingly, Rossi in the media has chosen to single out the defence for criticism and he has said that our midfield has nothing to do with our poor defending.
I’m not sure I agree with that. Yes, our defenders are making some silly mistakes but at the same time, midfield is the link between defence and attack and if either defence or attack is malfunctioning, of course the midfield has to be blamed to some degree.
Foggia would link the midfield to attack and Ledesma, if allowed to concentrate on protecting the back four, would provide the defensive link.
