for our current situation, there is only 1 person i blame; lotito. he had a fresh injection of funds thanks to our qualification to cl and also our 3rd place finish, there was more than enough reason to start spending on trying to improve the squad. it was painfully obvious that our squad was only strong for 1 competition, they will not be able to play as well if we are participating on all 3 fronts.
we lost peruzzi, a crucial leader in our defense; there is a reason why we did so well last season defensively as compared to this season's pathetic rearguard. his replacement? muslera - an absolute joke. we signed meghni, del nero, kolarov and scaloni. honestly, none of them will be breaking into the first team, meghni is too injury prone but is doing decently well. del nero and scaloni are just wasteful in my opinion, they are not players who can make a jump in quality for lazio. kolarov is a very hot prospect, he has shown his talent on more than 1 occasions, this is the only signing i can really comment on that lazio is taking a step forward.
on the whole, this mercato was a disaster, and lotito have to make it right in january. there are no 2 ways about it, there is no excuses, he promised he would spend to provide rossi with the right options and that is what he must do.
