He is a natural CM!! People talk of him and do not even know in which position does he plays!!
IMO a natural CM is fielded when you have in your team a natural AMC and a natural destroyer.Then you need a natural Cm to complete your midfield.
When we don't have this kind of midfield(ok we have a natural destroyer but we don't use an AMC as we attack from the flanks) can anyone say why the hell we bought him?:faq1:

So what does the natural CM do? he doesnt defend because it's the DM job, he doesnt have to create chances because it's the AMF job, so he just receives the ball from the DM and pass it to the AM !!


the fact that he is giving the ball away because of his poor control and/or passing has nothing to do with him being out of position.
:thumbs:

What??



That doesn't make sense, whats the point of keeping him if we don’t use him?
We kept Zalayeta for many years and we rarely used him, plus I'm against selling any player after 4 months from signing him, maybe he needs more time, or he's not ready now for any reason, but Ranieri should stop ruining our games by starting Tiago, while we keeps proving that he's a flop, got me

Juve, Marchionni: "Tiago? Mah..."

TORINO - Il centrocampista della Juventus, Marco Marchionni, protagonista martedì sera di un ottima prestazione condita da un gol nel match di Coppa Italia vinto contro l’Empoli, si sofferma sul delicato momento che sta vivendo il compagno di squadra Tiago, con i toscani autore di un’altra prova incolore. “Tiago? Mah… io non lo criticherei – sottolinea l’ex ala del Parma ai microfoni di 'Sky’ - Lo vedo ogni giorno in allenamento ed è un giocatore con tanta qualità. Non è facile giocare in un campionato straniero come quello italiano, è vero che sta incontrando delle difficoltà, ma piano piano sta migliorando e capendo di più il nostro calcio”.


Great words from Marchionni...
Basicly he said :faq1: the critics who are "bashing" Tiago's performance...

"Tiago? Mah… I would not criticize him – underlined former winger of Parma to the microphones of 'Sky' - I see him every day in training and he is a gambler with so much quality. It is not easy to play in a foreign championship like that Italian one, is true that is meeting some difficulty, but he is improving and he is understanding more and more our soccer".

I read today in Controcampo that Schuster is proposing a Tiago-Gago swap. I don´t know is there any truth in this but what do you think of this idea?
FUCK GAGO IS GENIUSSSSSSSSSSS, we should get him....alltough you morons dont deserve him if you say that he is overhyped...fuck the guys plays the perfect football...every pass finds his target...there are no movement which are not needed...he sees everybody on the field...the ball is like clued on his feet...but he is someone who dont searches the spotlight that why he is underrated and not such a known player in the football world...he is someone like pirlo....

so if we should really get him which i dont believe even if we give them boumsong which is a offer that hard to resist....i dont think that he can prove him here in juve without an AM....

I would like to hear the opinions of different players on how Tiago has performed in practice since the start of the season, just to see if good old Ranieri was speaking the truth about him. Tiago wasn't bad against Empoli and Reggina, but now the player has just gotten worse. I blame that on Ranieri for beating him down like a dog, but Ranieri is an idiot anyway.

Ranieri Loses Patience With Tiago

Claudio Ranieri is furious with Tiago's recent performances and it seems as if it is the end of the road for the player's adventure with the Bianconeri

Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri seems to have run out of patience with troubled midfielder Tiago.



The former Lyon and Chelsea star has not enjoyed the best of seasons with the Bianconeri and at times he has looked a shadow of his former self, forcing Ranieri to leave him on the sidelines.



Tiago played woefully against Catania on the weekend and then even worse against Empoli in the Coppa Italia and now Ranieri, who for most of the season had defended the player, has spoken of his disappointment.



“He played really badly, he didn’t play with the right tempo and he was always passing the ball backwards. It was a performance without personality,” said Ranieri.



It seems as if it is now the end of the road for Tiago following Ranieri’s harsh words. It is likely the player will leave in the transfer window and it seems as if the club will not cut their losses after paying 13m Euros for the player in the Summer.



Ranieri has fallen out on numerous occasions with the Portugal international but he had kept faith in the player after giving him a chance to prove himself. However it has not worked well for either of them as Ranieri cannot risk playing players who do not seem interested in playing for the team.

He hasn't defended Tiago most of the season. See my signature. Ranieri never wanted the player and made it known to the public, probably the worst thing for a player to hear.

now i completely disagree with the way that Ranieri handled the Tiago situation especially with the comments to the media. But to be fair, Tiago didn't take the chances hes been getting recently. We've always said that if he wants to cement his place he will need to play better than the folks playing now and that wasn't happening.

A prime example of players taking their chances are marchionni and especially Iaquinta. Just look how they performed in their games. I know there are different circumstances when it comes to Tiago( media, price tag and general expectations) but he still didn't deliver when he was getting the chances in those two games.
