Papa Dong will finally buy Crybaby Mancini his little toy(Candreva) he wanted since forever as he threw himself on the floor(threatened to resign) for all to see and papa was embarrassed so he had no choice to buy it .

Let's wait and see if he will do the same for Toure now...

I think and many other think that Candreva is best for RWB/RM/RW and Mancini, i always repeat about Miranda and Perisic, so lets hope he will perform at least like them ;)

I doubt it's 25m€ PLUS bonuses. Bonuses are included in that 25m€, probably participation in season 2017 CL is one bonus condition.

I think he'll turn out to be another Palacio. A good first season, and then age and make us wonder wtf he's still doing here.

Yeah you're probably right. We should have moved Palacio this summer while the overall feeling was still positive. I have a feeling people will be pretty annoyed with him by the end of they year if he actually gets any decent playing time.

This move will probably be good for 2-3 years tops. We need to make sure we make CL during that time and start looking for a long term replacement at RW as early as next summer.

I think palacio is a good option for the early europa league games.

Shame on our manager for wanting players who will make us better.

Yeah. I think Candreva will be useful for about three years.

This is a stopgap signing and better than nothing, because our management can't clearly get anyone else and it seems they aren't even looking. Candreva does not make us a favourite for CL spot but increases our chances.

Depending on movements form our direct rivals, I think Candreva + Banega makes us favourite for second. Plus players like Perisic and Kdog will only get better this year. Both took some time to settle.

Normally you get these kind of near-30-players on loan or for free (end of contract). Paying 25m euros for him is outrageous tbh. Also he's no world beater or such a big quality boost to the team to begin with.

I don't get it.

The price is inflated because Lazio see us as a direct rival for European places. I don't really see the alternatives. He's a decent player bought for a mid-range price tag. It's a transfer that shouldn't inspire strong reactions in either direction imo... meh.

Are you joking me? Actually joking me?? Do you think 29 resonates to 33?? How can you actually sit there and seriously say that he is not a big quality boost to the team? 20 goals and 12 assists in the league in the last two years. 10 goals in the last two seasons, 10 last year when lazio were complete dog turd.

Sigh..

Here we go.

I seriously have no idea where you got the '29 resonates to 33'. I did not write the number 33 anywhere in my post. I've said a 'near-30' which is mathematically a valid and correct reality. He's currently 29 years old and therefore nearing 30 years old, and will be 30 by next February. What are you on about?

About quality yes I don't think that his quality is worth 25m euros at his age and it's one of Lotito's cheap scams. He can score 50 goals for Lazio and make 73 assists for all I care. Playing in Inter (Mancini's broken system) is different and it doesn't automatically mean that he'll repeat the same stats. Eder is a pretty good example. I don't think that Candreva is so good that we have to get him at that cost and not look at other options. He won't improve Mancini's gameplay. It's pointless.

That's my opinion on him and you should live with it.

Because you said a near 30 player, in his prime should be picked up for free, its insane. Around 33 is when you would get a player for expired contract usually.

So by your theory, whats the point of signing any player to play in 'Mancinis broken tactics'. How can you say any youngster would fair better? Youngsters who take more coaching and guidance anyway than a player that has played in World cups and under many 'broken systems' at lazio.

And how will he nit2? Did Perisic not improve his gameplan? A really significant boost on the left, Candreva will offer similar attributes what Perisic has done.

As well as this, its very obvious we've explored other oppurtunities.

I respect your opinion certainly, although this forum in general has a fetish for young players and I think almost everyone here is writing Candreva off because he's 29. If you dont see Candreva as a big quality boost to our right wing which was pretty much non existent last season i have to wonder...

Some people think only rube, napoli, roma and us have ambitions. Lazio want europe just as much as we want CL. We argue why we would sell Icardi cheap to a direct rival - Lazio's doing the same.

25m for one of their better players isn't all too bad as some here make it seem.

I don't understand why we can't buy a much much much better player for the same position for an extra 10 mil? I mean seriously just add an extra 10 and buy someone who would be better and last longer, idgaf, 10mil isn't gunna break bank, we can get rid of someone to sort it out if we have to but please not this shit (I don't mean he's shit, I know he's good, I mean the deal) we are legit getting fucked.
In 3 years time when we are renewing his contract for another year after a Palacioesque season ima have to blow my fucking brains out.

Wasn't some if not most of his goals last season penalties, correct me if I'm wrong.

Come on, we don't really have 35 M to splash for one player this Window. Maybe in January if our situation looks good Suning Will spoil Mancini once again. For this Window he is as much we can go. We Will land him for sure now.

Well too late then as we'd already have this guy? Who cares if we have 35 mil to spend when there's no positions to splash on? Nah I think it's best not to buy this guy if there's a chance in the winter we can get someone better.
But of course Mancini will bitch and moan about it, I'm serious let's just play Brozovic on the Rw till January, this will just be wasted money. I honestly don't think this guy is even worth 15 mil but that's just me
