Could Fiore replace Veron ???
Hmmmmmmm ... I´ve been thinking about this one for some time and it´s driving me nuts.
No doubt in my mind that Veron is a better passer and playmaker overall - no doubt. However Veron has been pissing me of with comments that make no sense.
Now I don´t know how much of this is media magic and how much is true word of mouth but if there is any truth about the Veron dealings then he should be considered in a different light.
Veron vs Fiore:
Passing
Veron 11 ( on a scale up to 10, I consider Veron with no competition when it comes to passing )
Fiore 8
Perception of the game
Veron 10
Fiore 8.5
Defensiv
Veron 7
Fiore 8+ ( Davids 11 )
Fighting spirit
Veron 8
Fiore 10
Dribbling
Veron 8 ( Rivaldo 10, Figo 10, Zidane 10 )
Fiore 8
Freekicks
Veron 9 ( Mihajlovic 11, Beckham 9, Rivaldo, Del Piero 8+ )
Fiore 7
Corners
Veron 8+
Fiore 8
Appetite for goal
Veron 8
Fiore 8
Team spirit / fan appeal ( Nesta 11, Baresi 11, Maldini 11 )
Veron 7 / 9 ( Lazio fans / International )
Fiore 10+ / 8 ( Lazio fans / International )
And let´s add another thing in favor of Fiore, 25$M + for Lazio atleast !!!
I figure we could get around 50$M for Veron ( in players and money ). So basiclly we could do this: Fiore + Giannchedda + 15$M for Veron. Now if Cragnotti was presented with this I don´t think he´d doubt the deal for 2 secs.
Veron is great but if he´s not 100% into Lazio and Fiore would be then do we even have an option ??
Nothing would make me more happy then a Veron that would go out public and say that he want´s to stay and take Lazio to nr 1 for the next 10 years but since that seems unlikely to happen ??
Anyone who has seen Argentina play lately know that Veron and Lopez go together like Parma and ham, I can´t see a more perfect combination in serie A next season. A Lazio with Veron - Nedved - Lopez - Vieri - Conceciao is just murder for the other teams ( taking for granted that Vieri will last a season I see no other team coming close to us ).
