riquelme-tiago swap deal? (14 Viewers)

[Stu]

It would be quite an inane decision to sell Tiago before even seeing what he can do, but I expect such imbecilic behavior by this board and perhaps even Ranieri.

You like the word inane.

What you say is true but I think it would be inane to not swap a bench warmer for a potentially world class player. Nedved seems to be on his last legs and Riquelme would be a great alternative to him. I know it's unfair to not even give Tiago a chance but if the management have made up their mind we could as well use him as best we can, ie. on the transfer market.

It's one of my favorites, but it also describes the current situation pretty accurately. A manager requests a player, buys said player, then doesn't know who to use him. Finally we give him away for a player who may or may not actually be a useful player for us.

If this was for Diego, van der Vaart, Ronaldinho, Aguero, Nasri, etc I would have to agree with you. But we're talking about Riquelme here. I've already given my opinions on said player, so no need to go through that again.

If we proceed to sell players we do not give a chance to see how they perform, we are becoming the new Inter. Now that's a fact.

riquelme is too old, maybe couple of years ago, but he is too old now

1st of all it is a BS rumour created by the media
2nd C-Ra bought him so to aviod looking like a fool he will use him sooner/later
3rd Tiago is a classy player and has more to offer than Riquleme

What ? A player like Riquelme is never too old, let's face it, he is a pass master and a set piece master, he is not one for running around the pitch in the first place, plus he is the same age as Trezegoal, so I'm not sure why he would be too old for us !

A7med: Good call on the 3rd.

Yea, but Trez has been playing here, it would take someone like Riqe two years to get used to playing in the Serie A.

Tiago has more to offer than Riquleme ? WTF ? Maybe Tiago can offer a better cup of coffee at half-time for the lads than Riquleme.

Two years ? He is not 21 you know, and somehow I believe he has got a decent football brain too.

why everyone againts riquelme? he has a good pass, good vision, good skill, good drible.. he is a good player. we still can use him for couple of years.

Yea, he's 29, and has never played in a league like the Serie A.

Aldo: Good choking and good walking abilities and the best of all, good laziness.

 

[d.nico]

his laziness can be compensated by his skill imo..

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

IS that what you also say or said about Ibra?

 

[d.nico]

Ibra's skill can only impress little boy

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

See, offer someone that is a parallel and you have to resort to jokes, who are you, ME???

 

[Joaco]

Riquelme MUST return to Boca. Anyway it's a good deal since Tiago is not even the half player he used to be at Lyon.

You can thank your avatar for that.

Yeah, that makes a load of sense.

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

It does make a load of semen.

This reminds me of the Bojinov/Deschamps scandal from last year, only with a bit more money involved. Everyone seemed to side with Deschamps last year, so I guess I'll side with Ranieri. If he doesn't like what's going on in training, he has every right to park Tiago's ass on the bench. Tough-fucking-love.
