Let me be the first to spit i mean welcome you to this team.  Not the first Riomanista  to sign for this club, but surely the biggest slap in the face. 

Il Timido "The Shy" One as he's nicknamed was born in Rome 8 February 1987. 

Soccer Magazine pulled this interview with him back from 2009 talking about his idol:  Francesco Totti.

Candreva, un romanista alla Lazio. I tifosi biancocelesti lo insultano su Facebook

Stiamo parlando di Antonio Candreva, centrocampista ex-Juve e Cesena. Il giocatore non ha mai nascosto la propria fede calcistica; in particolare, in un’intervista rilasciata alla Gazzetta dello Sport nel novembre 2009, aveva ripetutamente elogiato le due figure di riferimento dei giallorossi, vale a dire Totti e De Rossi: “Il mio idolo? Francesco Totti, ancora uno dei migliori. Mi ricordo la faccia di Daniele De Rossi, il mio giocatore modello, negli spogliatoio dell’Olimpico. Lui ha appena perso con noi, il Livorno, ultimo in classifica. Io vorrei la sua maglia che, però in campo, era tutta strappata. Mi aspetta sulla porta e me ne dà una nuova. Per me, romano e romanista, è qualcosa di incredibile“.

Motivo sufficiente per scatenare una serie di insulti verso il neo acquisto della Lazio sulla sua pagina Facebook. Tra i commenti più “pacati”, segnaliamo: “mercenario senza onore”, “verme”, “zozzo”. Quelli più duri, capirete, non possono essere pubblicati in questa sede.

Not only did we loose arguable our most anticipated summer signing in Cisse.  We further missed out on a possible mega purchase in Honda for amazing business opportunities in Asia and with the ultimate slap in the face Lotito and his minions throw this shit on us.  An outspoken Riomanister!  MA VA

Never have I had to swallow so much shit in one day!

Candreva had this to say today:  “Non vedo l’ora di iniziare questa nuova avventura. Arrivo in un Top club”.  The Lupi are  laughing at us for this one.  He truly is a mercenary who will truly play for any team. 

I do feel the slightest bit of sorry for him in the sense that I'm not alone and our fans in Rome will surely give him a hard time.  He will have to truly prove himself.  Or else it's another failed loan for the man who has played for 4 teams in the last 4 and half years. 

Good luck Verme in BOCA LUPO LITERALLY!

Honda was a slight gamble there was no doubt about it. He was just coming off a bad knee injury and could relapse which is probably why bigger clubs didn't make an offer. It was the perfect time for us to strike. The reward with Honda would have been far greater than the risk. He is incredible and if he comes back from injury and plays as he did before he was injured, there is no chance of us signing him in the summer. Honda has already said he wants to play in Serie A and Juve, Inter or Milan can easily step in and shit all over us.

A player is a player.

I'm much more concerned over whether he is Lazio quality than if he had a Spuotti poster on his wall whilst growing up.

It's sensitive, but he just needs to give his all for the shirt and people will accept him, just as with Liverani.

We had Vieri, a great player but a bitch of loyalty, we had Sinisa, a great but spent time at Roma, we had Liverani!

We have Brocchi, an all his life Milan player and he gives the ALL for OUR shirt now and has "Celesto" in his blood! And a Klose is 5 month here, kissing our symbol on his shirt!
He is Roman! In favour of the other side But now he is here and he has the talent to become someone in the world of football... SO he and has been given the chance already in joining us..and we give him the chance, basta.

No way he could hide to get our spirit in his body and life! He could be "healed" from his sins and become a greater person! 
Seriously, even with constant good performances he will soon adapt...or not..
Now is the time to sit back and take a serious look!

He wears our colours now! So? Daje Candreva! Forza Lazio!!!

I share that view! Either useless and dont get a foot in here like Cana or is growing as an important steady performing member of the UNIT..
 

Just from reading around and listening to the radio, this could get ugly. If this kid doesn't come out like a house on fire, score a gol in the derby and run under the Curva sud with his balls painted blue and white..., well it won't be pretty. Mah!

i think he's number 30 guys dont worry.. the next to wear number 10 will be a true champion (not zarate)

Candreva was with 87 on his shirt and Rozzi with 53
