I like the fact that more and more you see the hand of conte in these transfers, a coach who puts the pieces he wants in place always does well

Conte's involvement in some of these transfers suggests that he isn't a yes man that some thought he would be when he was announced as coach. I really hope he knows what he is doing.

Indeed.

 

[Fake Melo]

FIVE years since a proper fullback.

 

[Trezegol17]

So when is his presentation to the media and the fans?

 

[JBF]

FIVE years since a proper fullback.

Since Thuram was switched to the center we didn't have one, making it 8-9 years

Zambrotta.

 

[JBF]

Zambrotta.

He was played much more as a LB during his times.

 

[JuveJay]

Melo did say fullback though...

 

[JBF]

Ouch.

 

[The Curr]

Yeah, fullback.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Strengths Lichtsteiner is blessed with quick pace and an untiring fitness – two qualities which are essential for modern full-backs. He is an ever present figure in both attack and defence and has shown leadership abilities. He is a pretty good crosser and delivered 193 crosses towards the strikers last season, more than most right-backs in Serie A.


Weaknesses
Lichtsteiner is good when going on his trademark overlaps but his defensive ability is not top class as he is at times caught out of position. Under Hitzfeld, his defending has improved but it still remains to be seen how well he’d cope with top class wingers. He is also prone to rash challenges at times. Last season he registered eight yellow cards in Serie A – highest among Lazio players.

I wouldn't have considered him a leader. The rest, I agree with.

 

[Tak!]

So when is his presentation to the media and the fans?

yeah I'm wondering this myself have I missed something? Are they still discussing salary with him or why isn't it official? Or is it but hasn't caught my attention?

It's official..

Perhaps there waiting to see if they can wrap up aguero? or honda? to present both at once

If that is the case I really hope they present Lich with Aguero not with Arthas

Finally a decent fullback, as far as I m concerned this is the wisest post calciopoli transfer.
A great player, proven in Italy and national level, in great shape, age and for a great fee.
And above all, a massive improvement to our current material.
This is how you efficiently improve a team, by replacing the weaklings with quality material!
Well done to the ones responsible for this.

 

[Byrone]

Nice to see you giving credit where it's due, Cron.

[Nicholas]

Friday official.

Already had his photo's taken in the trophy room etc.

Completely agreed, Cron...Those goons who have denounced Marotta as a complete imbecile hellbent on ruining our club are forced to quieten down a little, just for a while...its a great move, for a great price. Andrea Agnelli also deserves some praise for this, as he must have allowed a change of system regarding how much influence the manager has in terms of transfers, and now it seems more like how it should be, but hasn't been for several years ; our manager chooses his team, not the sporting director alone.

Ziegler, Pirlo, Pazienza, Lichsteiner, Gabriel Appelt + his brother (when is this official???)...and possibly Bastos/Honda...Aguero/Rossi...and another RB.

My main focus is split between who we can get rid of, and who of the potentials above we can get. Its ultra important to move on iaquinta, amauri, grosso, grygera, motta, momo...They are all dangerous to our future progress if remaining in the squad.
