    Official: Tiago to Juve

    Almiron is a good player and a better passer than Tiago. We haven't had a player who can hit long balls with such precision since Zidane, so Almiron is welcome by me. Perhaps some of you haven't seen much of him which is fine, but if we can secure Almiron for a good price he's certainly...

    We should have went for Bodmer as he's a good player and as you said would come for cheap. Lyon is just running a monopoly in France and I wouldn't be surprised if they keep winning Ligue 1 for years to come. Hopefully not though.

    Walls don't have opinions, so no. While I may be opinionated, every other football fan will agree with me when I say Juninho is not only a great freekick artist, but also a wonderful passer and magician with the ball. That's bullshit. Iniesta is better than Rosina and while he may not be...

    Yes, but mostly in just a three-man midfield which Ranieri likes.

    I don't know about the 3-4-3 and honestly I don't think we have the players to play it. If we had wing-backs particulary strong going forward I'd might think about it, but we honestly don't have the personel to "tinker" with that.

    Look dude, state something such as that and you really lose all your credibility. Especially when the topic at hand is one of Juninho's teammates. :disagree: :tdown: If you were paying attention, I wasn't comparing InIesta to those players in the personal sort of way. I was simply grouping...

    Have Tiago play on the right side of a three-man midfield along with a destoryer in the center and a playmaker on the other side, and you have a nice conglomeration of talent in midfield. Ranieri likes the 4-3-3 and I personally love it, so hopefully we'll use it this coming season.

    And another funny point regarding Ahmedios' post... he says players like Tiago and Iniesta would get owned in Italy where "The most apparent features of Serie A are aggression and tactics, while one's personal skills are very significant in La Liga." If that was the case, wouldn't that mean...

    Just when I thought you could possibly be reasonable, you write up a post like this. First of all, yes, in Italy tactics play a role greater than some other leagues, but how do you account for players such as Veron, David Pizarro, Totti, Almiron and Rosina? They're all playmakers and don't...

    No they won't. Tiago is an all-action midfielder who does what he needs to do... makes good passes, defends well, has good positional sense, and even chips in on goals. He's the sort of player to do the little things right and get the ball to the people who can perform magic with it, like...

    Tiago won't get "owned" in Italy.
