Are we set for next seasons ??
Goalie:
1) A Peruzzi
2) L Marchegiani
3) E Concetti
Defenders:
P ***** ( first choice right )
A Nesta ( first choice center )
F Couto ( first choice center )
G Pancaro ( first choice left )
G Favalli ( second choice left )
S Mihajlovic ( second choice center )
N Sensini ( second choice center )
G Gottardi ( second choice right )
Comments: Alot of old warhorses
I´m sure we can expect stable performances from all these defenders ( not counting Mihajlovic ) but when it comes to attacking skills Pancaro and ***** are alone on the wings. Couto - Mihajlvoic issue needs to be solved and I hope Eriksson has enough courage to see that Couto is a much better defender.
Sensini is a joker and I´m not sure I want those in defence Gottardi isn´t Lazio material. Favalli is a good replacement for Pancaro.
I had great hopes for a new talent in defence, someone we could say " he´ll be superb in 1 - 2 seasons "
Expected buys: Torricelli will probably take the place of Gottardi and that´s a great swap. I would also like to see someone new in central defence, like I mentioned above a huge talent that would be great in 1 - 2 seasons.
Midfield:
P Nedved ( first choice left - can go central )
J Veron ( first choice playmaker )
D Simeone ( first choice central )
S Conceciao ( first choice right wing - can defend )
M Baronio ( second / first choice central defensiv / playmaker )
D Stankovic ( second choice right - should go central )
G Pinzi ( third choice right )
A Lombardo ( forth choice right - can go left, defending )
I De La Pena ( Second ?? Choice playmaker )
Comments: Nedved - Veron - Simeone - Conceciao is the best midfield in Serie A and should Baronio perform the way he performed last seasons Simeone will be on the bench and we´ll be even better. As you can see there are alot of options on the right wing and hardly any on the left. We have alot of options for defensiv midfielder ( Sensini, Baronio, Simeone ).
Do we have a joker in Ivan De La Pena ?? Well he was considered one of the biggest talents in europe.
I had great hopes for a left wing that could allow Nedved to go central.
Expected buys: Well it looks like Zenden might replace Conceciao and the funny thing about this is that I wanted Zenden in the euro 16 that was selected waay before he was a wanted man by Lazio. Zenden is better on the left side so I´m not really sure what to make of this. Still it´s a great buy but not really a replacement.
Attack:
C Lopez ( first choice segunda punta )
M Salas ( second chocie segunda punta )
S Inzaghi ( first choice striker )
F Ravanelli ( second choice striker )
Comments: Well the attacking situation is chaotic to say the least we´ll probably see Salas at some other team and Crespo will be first choice striker bumping S Inzaghi into second choice.
We must have a forth attacker but who ?? I´m sure Cragnotti will find someone to replace Mancini / Boksic ( maybe Ferrante of Torino, Cammarata of Verona, Kallon of Reggina and if we can dream Saviola )
This team looks extremely good and if Pinzi can reach the next level and Stankovic can get back to his level we are going to have a great midfield.
Point is we need to sign a couple of players after the Crespo deal and I hope Cragnotti will look at what the team needs.
