Actually, I myself am not a fan of Pippo at all.
But, as a matter of fact, I see that there are a lot of people(especially girls) who love him so much in my country and all over the world. And some of them, after knowing the rumour saying that he might come to Lazio, hope him to join to be with his brother Simone.
So, it's a big dream transfer of many fans of "the beautiful brothers of Italy". Not a dream of my own, though. Having two stars like them must make Lazio become much more popular. Great?
About Nesta, seems like he's not as highly rated or much loved even by enthusiastic Lazio fans as before. For examle, some of them put Nesta on the bench in their "Dream Team of Serie A"(in another thread). Besides, someone says he's not as good as before the injury he suffered during the World Cup, and Lazio could do without him.
In my opinion, Lazio doesn't need such "not the best" player, especially as a captain. In other words, he's not great enough to be a Lazio player and captain.
All the more because I used to believe he was one of the greatest players and the most respected by Lazio fans, I would like him to leave so that I wouldn't have to feel disappointed to see him playing in Lazio as "not the best player".
About Almeyda, I don't think he's not good enough to play in Lazio. But some fans have pointed out through the season that Lazio has no room for having a player who is injury-prone. I want to respect their opinion.
However, both Nesta and Almeyda are highly rated by some other teams, and they could be sold at high prices. It's lucky that selling them would bring some money or other great(hopefully greater) and stout players instead to Lazio.
I should add a few more players in the "in" list. Maybe one of them sould be Montero who is without doubt the best defender, as a replacement of Nesta. And Baronio, for the position where Almeyda has been.
