Lazio open to Hernanes sale - report

Lazio would sell star midfielder Hernanes should the right bid be made, according to one Italian journalist.

Transfer market specialist Alfredo Pedulla has insisted that Biancocelesti President Claudio Lotito would accept offers of around €23m for the Brazilian playmaker.

Napoli and a number of English clubs have been reportedly interested in the 27-year-old, and could make a move in the summer, should the capital club fail to make the Champions League.

Hernanes has been in spectacular form this season for Vladmir Petkovic's side, scoring nine goals in 29 games.

COnte lvoes him we were negotiating for him some months..

Interesting. But what would we do with him?


1st Choice sub behind midfield 3 = Pogba gets less playing time

Make him a starter in MF = Vidal probably leaves, or Pirlo gets benched. Doesn't make sense

Play him in a 3-5-1-1 system = Only one striker plays, Vucinic and Llorente not to mention Giovinco, Matri and Quagliarella compete for the same spot. That's overkill and I wouldn't like that.

Bench Pirlo and rotate him with Hernanes Pogba with Vidal and Marchisio with Marrone or Giaccherini

I suppose Pirlo hasn't been up to his immense standards this season, he gets caught out too much and he's not getting any younger. But he's still been class for the most part and I wouldn't want to bench him unless it was for a rest.

not bench him like fringe player but rotate him with Hernanes. I mean with that rotation our midfield will have enough rest and will be full of class bear in mind that Conte wants 4-3-3

The problem I have with 4-3-3 is one of our CB's get benched. As a plan B it's fine but plan A means one of Bonucci, Barzagli, Chiello get benched or Chiellini gets put at LB which i'm not cool with.

add Caceres to that plus Marrone.....

midfield Hernanes( if we get him) , asamoah, pogba, Marrone, Marcihsio , Pirlo , Padoin,

Attack : Giacch, Llorente , IBra? or X, Vucinic, Giovinco, Matri/Quags + ..


4-3-3 makes to much quality on the bench ...

he is already 27?wtf, seems like he was a youngster just a few years ago
