Financial Situation...

There have been recent reports on Lazio's current finances that are concerning. Lazio is sitting at 0.822 on COVISOC most recent report, which has the final submission occurring next month.

In order to avoid a ban, and operate on net-zero, Lazio need to reach 0.7.

Lazio needs to find 12%. With the boycott likely continuing for the remainder of the year, Lazio need an injection of ~20m to make up the 12%.

Sadly, a player (or players) will need to be sold... Below are the candidates who I believe will be the sacrificial lambs:

1. Provstgaard = ~20m. Lazio have 4 capable starting CBs plus the Bordon brothers. Provstgaard's value has increased with his strong NL performance, and young age. If he's sold, the market is unlocked for a net-zero restriction.

2. Isaksen = ~15m. Gattuso seems to prefer Cancellieri over Isaksen. Isaksen performed well in the NL, and earns ~1m more than Provstgaard which lowers to wage bill.

3. Nuno = ~???m. During the Baroni year, Nuno was nominated for defender of the year. Lotito valued him at 70m. This sounds like a lot, but for a PL side, this is affordable.

4. Mandas = 18m-20m. There were offers in the summer for 15m which were rejected. Lazio has Motta who is also capable. If the offer was 20m or higher, then it will be difficult to say no...

What do you think? Do Lazio accept the ban and finish the year with the current squad?

Nations League needs to be reformed

I'm open to the Nations League, but does anyone actually care about this? The prize for performing well, or winning it, is so paper thin.

Not too mention, the "international break" is so early... The domestic leagues have played 5-7 games. The season is still in the beginning stages, and we're going to have a break?

What are your thoughts on reforming the league? I don't think the Nations League needs to die, but I do wish it carried more weight.

Ratkov Rumours?

If Ratkov is sold for 18m, Lazio can land Gimenez, Ivanovic, or Pinamonti.
Gimenez would be the best option, but I doubt this will be affordable.

The next best striker that they're tracking is Ivanovic.

Thoughts?

Ratkov is having an excellent pre-season, but it's easy to shine against Serie B/C team.

r/lazio

Hi there,

I am a member of r/lazio but the group has been dormant/inactive for months. The weekly visitors is around 400-500, but it seems like this has been abandoned by the mods. I've sent multiple "requests to post" but it's been left unanswered. Other members in the group have stated the same. I have also messaged the mods directly, but have never received a response.

I will gladly become the new moderator of the group as I'm active on reddit, and can detail what I'd like to do to moderate the page correctly.

Thank you!

Frattesi to Juve?

I'm neither an Inter or Juve fan, but cannot for the life of me understand the hype around Frattesi... Juve fans, would you welcome this?

I understand the formula of sweetening the deal for Cambiaso, but Frattesi? Does this improve Juve at all?

The Purge of Italian Players Continues

It's a bit sad to see stalwarts of the Serie A continue to leave... I wouldn't be surprised if Serie A foreign players eclipses 70% this upcoming season. Hopefully the "new" FIGC has a plan for Italian football.

Pep is NOT the answer. As much as I like Pep, the Italian NT need less of a spotlight on them, as they mentally cannot handle it. We saw players who flourish in the Serie A completely disappear and mentally collapse when they put on the Azzurri jersey.

We're (probably) all in agreeance that players like Bastoni, Frattesi, Cristante, etc all need to go, with the inclusion of the developing talent like Kayode, Koleosho, Pisili, etc. need to be elevated.

Silvio Baldini is deploying them beautifully at the U21 level.

He excels in handling the mentality of the game, plays a 4-3-3, and is known for developing young talent. He's not the star studded name like Pep is, but his track record is proven with the upcoming generation that will turn Italy around.

Whether we like it or not, Italy is in the midst of a rebuild. If the young talent know they will have a chance at the NT, this may be enough to sway the players who are considering choosing other NT's based on citizenship, ethnicity, etc.
