Mauro Zarate

[Megadrive Man]

Not sure if he's been mentioned yet as a possible transfer target.

 

Lazio are expected to sign him but nothings been confirmed, ourselves and Manchester City have also been linked on Sky Sports News.

 

I'd pretty much forgotten about him, but he's done well on loan at Lazio and looked like a good prospect at Birmingham. He's only 22 and seems versatile enough to play as a striker or as a wide forward. He wouldn't come cheap but wouldn't cost as much as Silva or Ribery.

I think he would be a good option, he looked a proper player in a shit team when he was over here on loan. He has skill, trickery and some pace and seems versatile, so could be a Rafa type South American target.

Liverpool - Liverpool: Zarate Race Is On!

 

Zarate Race Is On!

 

Lazio forward Mauro Zarate is the latest player to be linked with a summer switch to Anfield. The Argentinian who now plys his trade with Italian club Lazio (on loan from Qatarian side Al Sadd) has previous experience playing in the Premierleague after he endured a short spell at Birmingham City where he scored 4 goals in 14 appearances for the Midlands club.

 

Zarate has been in a rich vein of goalscoring form for Lazio this season, notching 12 goals in 31 appearances so far in Serie A and has also reportedly attracted the interest of Premierleague rivals Manchester City.

 

Zarate's agent, and brother, has acknowleged interest in his client, when speaking to Calciomercato he said;

 

'I can not say what which clubs, I can only say that two Italians, two Spaniards, two British and one German,'

 

Liverpool have previously been linked with an interest in the 22 year old this season so a move may not be as far out of the question as people may think.

He's a striker though isn't he?

 

Got a good free kick as well.

Didnt pay much attention to him when he was in the premiership, although i seem to remember frequent threads on here about him.

 

What are the figures being quoted?

[Spy Bee]

His name starts with a Z, all players who's name starts with a Z are awesome AND it rhymes with Karate... I think it's obvious we should sign him!

Think they are quite high. Nothing less than £15m I guess.

[Woo]

We could have taken him on loan this season for £1.5m. I was really disappointed we didn't, as he is a very talented player, and it would have been a pretty low cost risk if he didn't impress. He has all the attributes to succeed in the Premiership. Pace, skill, intelligence, did really well for Birmingham for the second half of last season. He is versatile aswell, can play on the right side of attack, or upfront with another forward. Would be a very good option in the role Dirk currently occupies in a 4-2-3-1.

 

From what I've read, I think his club Al Sadd want €14m from Lazio, so that's about £11m. Not a bad price, and he is still only young, but it's a hard one to call. I've not seen too much of Lazio this season, just the short highlights of their games (MOTD style). I wouldn't be disappointed if we signed him.

[Wor Horse]

Did he play in the pre-season friendly?

 

Didn't really notice him like.

[JangoSolo]

Hmm we paid £11m for Babel - same age, same prospects!

[8 Ace]

Just his agent using us as leverage.

[The Infamous_LF]

Hope we sign him he has been one of their top performers this season has 11 goals if I remember correctly and scored some scorchers amongst them.

 

Sign him up thought Rafa should have got him last summer instead of letting it slide and Lazio snapping him up
