well this seasons poulsen has not played enough to show anything
what i was trying to say is, that tiago had a severe attitude problem . . .
i am not the only one that did see that he did not give his all and did not try as hard as others.
he acted as if he thought he would be gifted a starting spot in juve without fighting for everything and just letting the others work for him.
yes, i think you can compare tiagos first season with us, with poulsen so far (not quantity wise) because you just did not see ONE (of the 20) game last season where he did try as much as poulsen did in the 7 official games he played for us (having one assist).
i am truly no tiago-hater ... but i just don't like it, when a player does play like in a worthless friendly game .. jogging around.
if you watch the past i even defended him, when people said that he did not add anything, because in fact he had a few good tackles back there, but back then it is like overexagerating his performance.
last season people wanted to shot him and now everybody hails him as the one that makes our midfield tick ... both is wrong ...
i will let you live in your dreamworld where a player is either totally shit or the creative god . . . but smart people would admit that there is much between totally bad and really good and tiago is just somewhere between that, just like poulsen.
and fred ... i do not even know the names you wrote we should buy, but honestly you will get better results with 11 molinaros in a team that do not have skill but do run their ass off and try and try and try than with 11 tiagos (at least like last season) that just walk around and do not care.
