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





I never said that he shouldn't be blamed as well, especially for his lack of confidence. But tiago IS talented he could have done very well here, odds were against him on many occasions.

Two English Clubs On Tiago - Secco
Juventus transfer Guru Alessio Secco admits that English clubs have come forward interested in under-fire midfielder Tiago Mendes.

Reports in both England and Italy have linked the player to Newcastle United and it has been claimed that talks are at an advanced stage.

Tiago has been a flop at Juve ever since his arrival in Turin from Lyon last year. The club spent €13m for him but he has not paid the Old Lady back for their investment on the pitch.

Secco has cleared the air regarding the confusion around Tiago’s future and he revealed that there has only been interest from the clubs and nothing else.

“Newcastle? Effectively we have received interest from two English clubs but that’s it, nothing else,” said the transfer chief.

“It’s still a little too early to talk about the matter just yet.”

Tiago is no longer a part of Claudio Ranieri’s plans this term and he seems set for a return to the Premier League.

The Portuguese midfielder played in England for Chelsea during the 2004-05 season.

People want us to give him more time after a year and a bunch of performances, whereas Poulsen and even Ekdal have made more of an impression already. Mentally, Tiago isn't up for the task. Can anyone of you really imagine him bossing a midfield the way Zanetti and Poulsen are able to do?

:evil:this guy really makes me angry, he has been given the talent to play for the greatest team possible and then he makes a joke of himself.
and when he leaves he will say he never felt at home in Italy, what a joke, he has to kick against a ball, play a game and he needs his mum to hold his hand for that?
stupid SOB
