VERON WANTS TO LEAVE

DIM

Guest
JUAN SEBASTIAN VERON has admitted he hopes Lazio reach an agreement with Manchester United to take him back to Rome in the summer.
The gifted Argentinian lit up The Premiership with his stunning performances at the start of the season, but has since displayed spluttering form, despite the side's relentless march to the top of the table.

Lazio's passionate tifosi have been pushing for the South American star to come back and wear the biancoceleste shirt again, and president Sergio Cragnotti has never hidden his desire to tie up a deal.

United have always denied claims that Veron has a clause in his contract which allows him to return to Lazio, and the club will want to recoup the massive £28.1 million they paid last year.

"I hope that Cragnotti finds an agreement with Manchester United," the 26-year-old told the Italian press.

"I am ready to return.

"I wait to see how this story will end."

"It made me feel bad seeing Lazio on television against Milan, seeing them suffering.

"I am proud that I have not been forgotten by the tifosi."

The Lazio supporters also called for Paolo Di Canio, ironically a top target for Sir Alex Ferguson, to be signed, but Cragnotti dismissed the prospect of launching a swoop for the West Ham striker.

Dim,

Those quotes were taken after Veron's passport row and reused in a clearly different context. Italian journalists are famous for that.

Having said that... out JSV, in either of Mendieta/Nesta/Crespo
 
when did he make them commnets????


tabloids always shit stir, remember fergie's quotes on Robbie Keane that were taken out of context a couple of years later????
 
why do people have to keep on making negative comments about veron and other players,lets just ditch these fake stories about veron leaving!
 
Here are the quotes from Corriere Dello Sport as they appear on Reuters.....

ROME (Reuters) - Manchester United midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron has admitted he would be tempted by a return to Lazio, who he helped to win the Italian Serie A title in 2000.

"I respect the executives in Manchester but I can't deny that if an agreement with Lazio could be found, I would be happy. I would return to Italy only to play for Lazio," Veron told Friday's Corriere Dello Sport.

Lazio president Sergio Cragnotti, who sold Veron to United in the off-season, has not excluded the possibility of bringing the Argentine back to his ailing Roman side and the player confirmed contact has been made with his representatives.

"I know that Cragnotti had a long telephone call with Gustavo Mascardi, my agent, who has spoken to me to see if there's a chance of taking me back. I heard from him first at Christmas," Veron said.

"I would be happy to return to Rome because I have a special rapport with the Lazio fans and with my old team mates.

"Leaving Lazio, I never considered going to Manchester for a year and then going back. I'm curious to see what happens in the next few months. In England I am fine but I would never close the door on Lazio," he said.

"The opportunity is there. I will wait to see if Lazio can find an understanding with Manchester. I'll stay in my place, playing football but the club and my manager must decide."

Veron has watched from afar as Lazio struggled this season following his departure and those of Chile's Marcelo Salas and Czech Pavel Nedved, both to Juventus.

"I speak with Hernan (Crespo) often on the telephone and he confirmed that Cragnotti wants to rebuild Lazio to a higher level. So this is a year of transition but my old team mates must react to get into the Champions League."

Lazio were eliminated in the first group stage of this season's Champions League and must finish at least fourth to secure a berth next season. They are currently seventh.

"The other night I followed the game against Milan on the television. When it was 3-1 to Milan, I changed channels because I was angry. It made me feel sad to see Lazio suffering like that," Veron said.

Lazio fans have made no secret of their desire to see Veron back in Rome and there was no ambivalence in his comments: "I repeat, if it's possible, I'm ready to return for another fascinating adventure. I still have a house in Rome."

But Veron said he has enjoyed life at Manchester United where he initially struggled to impose himself.

"Things are good at Manchester. It's a team full of champions but its main strength is the compactness of the squad. At the end of training we often all go and eat together," the Argentine said.

"We all live in Manchester full time and this is the secret of United's success at international level.

"I have nostalgia for Lazio. It would be deceitful to say otherwise, but I respect and acknowledge Manchester United. I have been treated very well."

If these quotes are genuine, and you never know with the Italian press, it is not encouraging :(

You cant keep someone who is not happy. Maybe a Mendieta swoop will be great. But I personally I would like Vieira.

No, just that it should be in the Transfer Talk forum, and there has been the same debate going on in there for ages. Why have a duplicate, and a duplicate in the wrong forum? :rolleyes:

I think so too. But we dont know is whether it is true. If you noticed, since the time he joined us this has been going on and on. It never happened in RVN or Barthez's case. On a certain extent there must be some weight to these rumors.

Because it would a) help if you looked to see if the topic was already under discussion, which is was for over two hours before you posted, and b) you just gave a little thought to which forum you are going to post.

Otherwise this place will end up like KopTalk where everyone posts a new thread instead of adding to ones already active. :rolleyes:

This Veron speculation is really beginning to wreck my head. It is going on too long. Why aren't the shutters being closed on these topics until something with weight on it comes in. It's all a load of rubbish if you ask me. The Italian press want Veron back in Rome, simple. I was in Rome in September and they love him there. If you have the power the media have you can even make people believe that Livepool are a good side <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />

Relax and lets just close the shutters on this tripe
 
i agree, Niall..Raoul please close shutters on future 'Veron wants to leave' topics.

Does this have something to do with your post "Veron wants to leave" or is just something else.

Having seen the fulls quotes, they have plenty of things you can use... if your a journalist.

Of the reality check, nothing's changed really. He's certainly like to play for Lazio again... if United decide to sell him.

I believe Italian papers as much as I believe english ones, which means.. NOT.

Errr, don't you think those quotes from seba are something of weight? The guy is "allegedly" saying he would like to rejoin Lazio. May be pure media bullshit, I seriously hope it is - but it's a topic for discussion so it's free to be discussed.

If it's irritating you, ignore it.....
