Agreed,I think we should be concerned of finding a playmaker,center backs & full backs more than an attacker,we have already 4 decent forwards,lets keep it that way.

I'll answer your question even though you answered it yourself in your comment above.
You said that the team couldn't put passes together but that totally changed when Tiago came in. It is not Ranieri's talk that makes this happen it is the inclusion of an engine in the middle that made the impact. He was the motor and he made the impact from the first second he came in. Maybe it wasn't top notch performance but for a guy barely getting playing time, being humiliated by joining the game in the 89th minute, hearing what his manager talks about him, I give him the credit for doing something when he comes in. To stand up to par to the value of purchace, it is up to Ranieri to put him on the field and make return on investment, on the bench he is wasting him.

first of all a great result given udinese lost earlier to catania which makes the gap between us and the teams behind us bigger which is all i want for now...screw first place,we dont have what it takes yet
for the lazio game....a TERRIBLE performance as a team by all standards
both molinaro and zebina are mistake prone...id love to see our management try to secure a right back like ivanovic and a left back like mathieu or buy another canetral back and move chiellini back there
i dont mind zanetti....two sublime assists and he deserves credit for the 3 points today as much as buffon and dp...without his vision on thiose 2 passes we prob wouldve left with 1 point if not nothing
nocerino is a great prospect but his passing is way off....i dont understand our managemnt....he played a whole season with a piacenza team we dominated last yr with half a team!!!id like to see tiago get more minutes on the pitch and those fools out there that keep nagging bout how useless of a player he is are retarded
he came in and he really helped string some attacks going forward in the 2nd half..too bad he had to come in for nedved
other than dp,trez,chiellin,legro and buffon the rest of the team could be easily replaced and im glad ranieri made it a point to say he was completely disappointed with the performance...two moments of brilliance from zanetti and dp and a string of great saves form buffon and that was that for us
to be honest it seemed like the referee was giving us some good calls too...some calls did not go lazios way at all
but 3 pts is what we needed and we got them and now were moving away from the pack behind us and thats all that matters
i really hope the board bring in 1 or 2 more CLASS players in january to help us finish 2nd or 3rd
the 2 players i would get are banega and ivanovic!!!!tow young stars of the future

Don't you think he has lost some confidence with being on the bench for all these games? Don't you think that if we start him more, he will play better and better? Today he wasn't on par with our best players but he played a whole lot fucking better than most of the team did. We paid the amount of money for him, for a good reason. If he doesn't play, we don't see his best, and he has played next to shit hours currently.
To answer your question, no. That will be spending more money buying the player . I have great confidence in our current midfield, its just that Ranieri isn't playing the best we got in the squad. Why try to fix something because of problems, when you haven't even made it properly?
Totally agree there. Carlos Tevez wasn't worth the money, he couldn't do shit, then he single handedly saved West Ham from relegation.
If we could play him out wide in a 4-3-3 or on the wings, I would have him.

If we want to get him then Rocchi will sign with us. Lazio have salary cap and he earns less than 1m EUR a year. In Juve he'll have guaranteed 2m eur, at least. He's 30 and he doesn't have more than 3 years in his legs. The last chance to earn some money is now and he can't do that in Lazio or another financially poor team.
The question is : Do we need him ?
We do need a reliable 4th choice striker who scores a lot of goals - Rocchi is such a player
We could use the money we'll save on the 4th choice striker for buying the players in the departments where we're thin with quality footballers.
But we'll lose out on Huntelaar or some other striker who may become big in the future (something we can't expect from Rocchi) , so now be smart and decide what's the best thing we could do

There's a big difference between playing regular matches like Rocchi is doing right now and stepping in once in a while to make the difference.
Palladino is everything but our 4th striker. He is our MR or our LM and maybe even AMC, but he's not playing as striker at all and frankly, even if he does i'm not sure he can be as useful as Rocchi, and certainly not as someone better than Rocchi.
In Capello's time we had Del Piero, Trez, Zlatan, Mutu and Zalayeta. Inter now has Zlatan, Crespo, Cruz and Suazo.
Milan few years ago had Shevchenko, Inzaghi, Crespo and Tomasson.
Looks like a succesful Italian team must have 4 top strikers so there will be no visable difference when Del Piero plays with Trez or Zlatan plays with Mutu in attack.
With Palladino as one of the attackers, our attack seems a lot weaker.
Personally, i'd like someone else rather than Rocchi. But if the choice for striker is Rocchi or Palladino i have more faith in Rocchi.
Palladino isn't even being played in his proper position in my opinion. I have lost a lot of faith though, I like him, but he needs to consistently put in some good performances for us.
If we had Del Piero, Trezeguet, Rocchi and Iaquinta, our attack force would be very old, with 3/4 on the wrong side of 30. I do like the guy, but as explained, we could get a younger option who could do more for our club.

Yesterday was one of the ugliest victory of ours I've seen tbh. Lazio really controlled us through out the game and we struggled 95% of the match. The ball would come into our area wave after wave after wave. I'm happy for he 3 points but our game play was absolutely horrible. Part of me says the odd shitty performance here and there is inevitable and we even survived the 4 big teams but another part of me just wonders if we can sustain this type of gameplay for a full season.............
should have had an assist too....can't believe Trez missed that chance
