Mos def he isn´t ready for Inter even though I noticed his form is raising. Nocerino and Zanetti are still ahead of him and they guarantee a quality performance and fighting till death. We need strong fighters for the Inter game and Tiago is weaker in that department than Zanetti and Noce.

But from now on, I would give Tiago more starting positions against smaller opponents to improve his morale and his settling to Italian league.

At the moment, I think he has an advantage over Almiron.

If he is the poor performer in training that Ranieri clearly believes he is, then anyway we get him out has to be positive for the squad to be honest. Do we want lazy players with poor attitudes around when we have such a young & talented squad?

Nope! That's what happens at inter - ronaldo, adriano etc, for example. There is no room for that at Juventus.

this is more a shot at ranieri than anything. if he's a poor performer in training, and i'm assuming he's lazy based on what i've heard. how does ranieri even field a starting XI when the off the ball movement of most of his players is zero to non-existant?

Tiago Off To England?

With Juventus midfielder Tiago enduring a torrid time in Serie A, several English clubs are rumoured to be eyeing up a swoop for the Portuguese international
Tiago Off To England?



It has long been reported that out-of-favour Portuguese midfielder Tiago is looking for an escape route from Italian giant Juventus.

Despite injuries hitting Juventus this season, the Portuguese has started just two Serie A matches, and has seen the likes of Nocerino and Almiron jump ahead of him in the pecking order.

It remains unclear if Tiago - considered by Bianconeri boss Claudio Ranieri to have been a mistake buy this summer - will be allowed to leave Turin this January, but former club Benfica and English side West Ham have both registered their interest.

In addition, reports in Italy suggest that Manchester City have been keeping tabs on Tiago, sending a scout to watch the former Chelsea and Lyon midfielder play in Juventus' 3-0 win over Empoli, where he did actually complete the 90 minutes.

However, speaking to SkySports.com, a spokesman for Tiago's agent Jorge Mendes' company questionned the speculation. "We have not received any news from Juventus about the possible exit of Tiago. We believe they have the desire to keep him," he said.

Tribalfootball but whatever...

Ranieri happy with Juventus playmaker Tiago

Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri insists he wants to hold onto midfielder Tiago.

After yesterday's 2-2 draw at Parma, Ranieri said: "He's a guy who I think a lot of, otherwise I would not have taken him. Tiago is still adjusting to Italian football.

"The fact is he has not easily settled with us, but I believe that he now is on the right road and henceforth will give us a big hand."

He should defenetly start the next game. The Zanetti - Nocerino combo is simply not creative enough, and they both have a weak passing rate, still Zanetti is one of the players, who have to play, when fit. Lets try Tiago and Zanetti against Palermo.

If it brings in decent cash we can spend on players we actually need then Im all for it.
shut the fuck up:tdown: !!
why are u writing all these posts on his thread when u dont like him?
what do u have against the guy???,every person on this forum & probably every Juve fan outhere agrees that he should start.
every time he gets onto the pitch,we start playing some fucken football & passing the ball around,if he is not there,we play long balls.

Ranieri has no excuse of benching him anymore,he was saying he still didnt adapt but now he adapted & if he has any sense in his head,Tiago wont see the bench in the coming matches.

:agree: Tiago has impressed lately when given a chance...
surely he must be a starter from now on...the guy adds a more needed creativity to our midfield...
when he isnt on the pitch, you only see long balls flying from our defenders straight to the forwards!!!
