Tiago didn't really do much though.
Could have been different story if we gave him the time from the beginning. Now I'm not saying it would have made a difference, but it could have made a difference. The man was quality when he was playing with Lyon.

It could have made a difference, Suns, but I doubt it. If he was a good player he would have made the most of his chances and not plagued us for so long:D

Agreed, however Elia came for 9m, Elia was and should be the ideal starter for the LW position, in that sense more playing time should be considered on Elia rather than Esti. Sure, Esti has to play as well or how will he adapt to Italian football? But, Esti has more time, while Elia should be playing by now.

Meh, whoever shows the most during training should get it. Elia already played a half game (official) for us, Chelo has yet to.

Read the contrary. I thought he did fine the last game.

They seem to agree with me.

I know, and that is why Elia needs to play more, playing just half a match is not enough for a potential and most probable starter of the future of this squad to be left to dry on the bench, after so many games. That is why, Elia should be playing more now, as Esti is more of a long term solution that can be held for a while.

This is not heading in the right direction. Reminds me of when Ranieri benched Tiago when he first arrived from Lyon and Tiago ended up never getting a place in the team.
except that juve got elia VERY late in the trasfer market. now seeing as how conte seems to have the main say in who comes and goes (blocking vargas/inler deals, the ziegler thing) it seems to me he was ok with getting elia, which means that elia will get a chance.

Not horrible, just decent. :D
Bah.

This. I'll trust Conte's judgement on which players to select.
No you got the wrong impression, this has nothing to do with Conte in me saying he is doing anything wrong, this has to do with who should play more between Elia and Esti and the answer for me is Elia due to the fact that he is the ideal player for this squad. I hope though Conte does start playing him more, but Conte up to now has been doing a fantastic job and I won't blame him for anything.
