    Official: Tiago to Juve

    We don't need Quagliarella whatsoever. He's just another Miccoli at this point.

    Juve scatenata: Tiago e Quagliarella! 08:40 del 21 giugno QuagliarellaColpo della Juventus: preso Tiago. Oggi il centrocampista portoghese del Lione, che firmerà un contratto quadriennale, sarà a Torino per sottoporsi alle visite mediche insieme all'argentino Almiron. L'Udinese batte alle...

    Official: Tiago to Juve

    You must not have seen Almiron very much either. He's the sort of player to pick up the ball from the back and distribute it around the park. Almiron doesn't really tackle that well and he's more of just a deep-lying playmaker. That's why it makes no sense to have Tiago play that role next...

    I don't understand the point of that. Tiago would be more restricted to move forward when it's really Zanetti who you'd want to be the stay-at-home midfielder. You're wasting Tiago.

    Official: Tiago to Juve

    He could, but like I said earlier he's not one to make ferocious tackles a la Gattuso. Tiago is a smart player and instead looks for mistakes instead of just diving into a tackle. He has good positional sense so he could play in front of the defense, but I would rather use Zanetti or Nocerino...

    Tiago is more creative than any central midfielder we have now and the likes of Vieira and perhaps even Gerrard as they have more drive than creativity. He certainly doesn't have as much creativity as a Riquelme or Rosicky, and I'm not sure if he's had any experiance playing in the hole behind...

    Tiago isn't a Pirlo; more like a box to box midfielder that can do it all basically.

    A damn good defender to partner Milito for years to come. Tiago - Zanetti - Almiron is still great midfield in my opinion. Not to mention the possibilities of fielding Marchisio and Nocerino. Give this team a season or two and we could have one of the best midfields in Europe.

    Indeed Rab, but I still am rather sick of the straight 4-4-2. With the squad we could potentially have, I'm really hoping for the 4-3-3.

    I agree with that. We shouldn't be looking into any other defensive midfielders now that we have secured Nocerino and have proper players available next to Zanetti.

    Technically we will be very sound and we should have loads of good possession. I'm just hoping we will not field the flat 4-4-2 because while Tiago and Almiron are both great with the ball, I'm not sure there is enough bite in midfield. The former can play in front of the defense and makes...

    Yeah, tell me about it. With Tiago we will obtain someone who does the little things right along with somebody who makes sense with the ball instead of just booting it anywhere. He's really the complete midfielder in my opinion... plus his technique is simply class.

    Tiago wasn't shite at Chelsea. I don't know why people keep saying he was shite... even Chelsea fans said he played well despite it being his first season in England. It's like people didnt watch Tiago at all when he was there and just listened to rumors and the fact that he didn't always...

    Tiago isn't an average player. The average player label goes to players such as Giannichedda or Blasi or Baiocco or the various Franceschinis. Tiago is a complete midfielder who does his job well... which is be a box to box player making constructive passes with a great success rate. He's not...

    Domenech is just an idiot. Plain and simple. I don't get to see many Ligue 1 matches except for Lyon as that's all they show in the States. But from what I've seen Keita is a decent player but nothing really special... I think he's 26 or 27 right now and he's still at Lens.

    We've already had official announcements... what, you think there will be even more official announcements regarding Deschamps and Tardelli in the future? We have already seen the "official" announcements and also the comments by the people in question, and if you want to believe people who...

    They are different players but the class of Almiron is above those two players. They don't do the same job but Sergio is the better player when things come down to it.

    No. I base my arguments on direct quotes from the people in the question. Transfer talk is far more ambiguous than direct quotes, and even some of them can be found on the club's website. It's quite different from just blindly supporting the people in charge and acting like everything is...

    The Corriere Dello Sport is just as reliable as Tuttosport. Gazzetta comes out with these prognostications every other week and we know how much truth they have behind them from what we've seen. We could end up with only six of those players in that list in all honesty.
