Il Tempo reports today that Lazio might be preparing a sensational bid for the Brazilian midfielder Hernanes, their former maestro, the 29-year-old is at Inter for a year now but failed to replicate his form at Lazio and establish himself as a main starter so far.
The newspaper reports that the Roman team is ready to offer Inter young starlet Balde Keita in exchange for the Brazilian a move that may suite Roberto Mancini who would prefer to build the team around Mateo Kovacic, the onlt problem facing Lazio is the €3 million salary of Hernanes, which may prove a figure that Lazio cannot afford at the moment.

I think Henanes long distance shot is an important scoring method for inter. Plus his is creative in midfield. If he left, it leaves a big uncertainty of the way we will play, and that’s not good for Kova is he has to play with Guarin.
And, I just hope everyone understand that the most crucial thing now is to get in CL or at least EL. We cannot think about last chance to cash Hernanes. If we can not get a good result this season, we will lose more money and lose attraction to good players.
Hernanes is great! Even when he is below his possibilities he is still better than all our midfielders. Kovacic has potential but too young to read and understand game like Hernanes does.

I like him, he is complete. He has great control, vision and fights for the ball.

exchanging Hernanes with another youngster will downgrade our squad again.
we don’t need youngster at this moment, we need someone who can made immediate impact, not a youngster who need time learn this and that.
his only problem is his fitness, and I think it was also because the world cup.
he’s in the age of top performer for footballer, and will be very useful after he reach his top fitness level again.
We should stop with overpaying for nearly 30 years old players. This is getting beyond stupid. And I actually rate Hernanes, but didn’t support the amount paid for him at the first place. I don’t mind him leaving.

Do the exchange! We got Kovacic and medel and soon shaqiri so he is really not needed and not been as good as he was in Lazio….keita is very promising player and also very Young and from the famous Barcelona academy so go ahead…

Someone can tell me a bit about Keita? I havent seen him playing much..
No H88 will stay by us! I love him!

I would sell him, he’s 29 already and has problems with injuries. He is just gonna decline from now on. This is probably last chance to get something for him. Only problem is that then Inter only has Kuzmanovic and Guarin left. And in my opinion they are not good enough if Inter wants to grab third place.
The problem is, who will give us 20 million to sell Hernanes and get an adequate replacement?
No one’s gonna give you 20 mil for him because he’s not worth that much. I would accept exchange with Keita, he is a good young talent for the future. The only problem is who would replace him, but he didn’t play much anyway so I think Inter wouldn’t miss him that much. If Inter gets two wingers this winter Kova would probably be moved back to central midfield if Mancini wants to play 4-3-3 so he would replace him.
If i knew that Hernanes could stay healty form now on then i wouldn’t sell him now without adequate replacement, but I think that he’s injuries problems will only get worse.
His transfer to Inter cost 20 mil. I’m saying that giving him away for Keita is Inter putting a signature on their own failure to make the most out of an incredibly talented player.
His fitness is the responsibility of our medical staff, he wasn’t always this prone to injuries.
What we’re talking here is giving away a complete player to get a youngster who may or may not bloom (it’s much too early for Keita to be anything near decisive for us and we’ve got enough youngsters as it is) and leaving our midfield incomplete, exposed, stuck with Kuzmanovic, Guarin, Obi, Krhin etc. Hernanes may have problems with fitness, but I’m sure that is fixable and once it gets fixed Hernanes will be the main man in our midfield along with Mateo.
I would only give away Hernanes for a number close to what we paid for him in the first place, with a known target to inherit him, a target of sufficient quality, not another Schelotto/Kuzmanovic. As for Keita, we’ve already got enough options in attack, so no thanks.

Keita is inside foward and if Inter is going to use 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 in the future (i mean for years not just this half season) they will need players like him. Two wingers may be enough for this half season if they stay healthy but we can agree that further reinforcements in that department will be needed.
Inter payed him 20 mil but they probably didn’t expect to get that money back through transfer because he was 28 already. You can’t expect to get that money back for a 29 old either. Especially since he didn’t show what was expected from him in the last year.. I would agree that he is better than our other midfielder except Kova of course but I wouldn’t call him incredibly talented, not even close, he never showed it, not even in Lazio. He is a good player but not an excellent one.
If he can stay healthy and in shape I wouldn’t sell him, I already said it, but I doubt that. That’s my opinion, you have yours, that’s normal.
I would say that his realistic price now is about 10-12 mil at best.
so if we trade our 20mil investment for Keita, that basicly rules out the arrival of other wingers (Shaqiri, Lavezzi, you name it)
not to mention we will lose half the creativity of the current midfield

I wouldn’t even think of selling Hernanes unless we’ve got a much better player coming in for the money we get. But I doubt Lazio are willing to pay 20 million for Hernanes, so no.
Hernanes is a fantastic player, he needs continuity and fitness, I’m sure he’ll come around.
I think we should sell him. He’s a great player but whats the point when he plays like 3 games the whole season and the rest he’s injured or not fit. I do not know about this Keita guy so someone with more knowledge could tell us if he’s worth it.
He is good and young and he can play as a winger on both side and even like a secondary striker and he has a good nose for goals! But I think its better to try to trade Hernanes with Biglia or Candreva!

Hello C’:
I think for Lazio Candreva is untouchable. He’s the main man of the team.
Yeah I think so too but we can always hope! If this with Shaqiri is true why shouldn’t have the chance to get Candreva 😉
