His open letter to Liverpool - which I've shared on our Facebook page - is sensational. Basically said he wanted to retire at Liverpool but it would go against everything he believed in as a player to sit around and accept not playing and he said he's excited to now have he chance to play for one of Italy's greatest clubs.

Just read it, fantastic and seemingly an intelligent person with great respect to fans and club.
A loyal player as Lazio is now only his 3rd professional club and he's 30y old. Refusing the bench with a big paycheck to come here and earn much less, and acknowledging us as one of Italy's greatest clubs.
What's not to like about this guy. Big chance that with his mentality he'll be a huge fan favourite.
