no one wanted to buy him with more that 8 mil...if we would sell him with less it won't do....so there's a chance next year for 10 (if fkin' goal.com is right)..and we dont have to pay his wage anymore

Why not sell him for 8-10m pound right now to Newcastle, its not like they lack the funds to Complete the deal now.
Newcastle's action meant they too, are skeptical of Tiago's abilities, ... i think.

They no longer break the bank to get the players they want, the way they did a decade ago. A reason as to why they are not the EPL's top 4.

actually i really was trying rather to be sensitive to your baseless adolescent man-crush infatuation with a player who makes every sensible fan wanna break their TVs. But thanks for giving me a reason to be blunt.
That would be valid, if you were every fan, but you're not. So next time respect the opinion of others. I'm surprised you didn't use french this time, you look elegantly stupid while using it.

Yeah, believing a player hasn't been given a fair chance directly proves how irrational I am. You're entertaining to say the least.
how has he not been given a fair chance besides the lame argument of not being used in his "natural position"?? i am soo tired of that excuse being thrown around here.

the bottom line is that he is supposed to be a professional player and if you are good enough to be a pro then you should be able to play/thrive in most systems. irregardless of how our coach uses him, because its not like ranieri is sticking him in front of goal or up front with trez. now that would be out of his "natural position" per se

Starting 6 games and playing 20 overall, with playing times ranging from 7 minutes to 15, isn't exactly fair. Disregarding his playing time, the player has been severely hindered by the media our staff and most importantly by us, the fans.

more excuses.

i can't recall the last time a professional athlete in any sport has been "severely hindered" by the media or fans.

yes its true that tiago was not ranieri's signing, i believe it was deschamps that wanted him. but you still cannot ignore the fact that the staff/coach still use tiago, and when he is used he doesn't perform. i'm not asking for him to setup goals every time he is involved in an attack but i do expect him not to give the ball away like an amateur and make bad passes way off the mark.

the perfect example is del piero during the capello era. we all know that capello did not favor his skills for whatever reason. but, whenever ADP was put into the game or was fortunate to start he did his best and was productive.

so please withhold from all the excuses and just realize that there were faults on both ends but tiago isn't helping himself either
