Why is this so hard!!! Our transfer dealings offer more drama than any reality tv show! Why does our board say they are gonna buy a top class midfielder and then try and buy poulsen! I mean if the negotiations are stalling over a couple million euros then do the damn deal, we're juve we're not broke, plus that couple million could be reimbursed easily as tons of juve fans would buy xabi's jersey, who is gonna buy poulsens! And at the same time i feel as if you guys are whining to much about attack and creativity, thats nonsense, look at arsenal for all their flair they never won a champions league. I mean i know this is a stupid analogy but i don't know if you guys watch the nba but the lakers were the best offensive team in the nba but they lost to the best defensive team in the nba, the celtics who are now enjoying life after winning the title. Defense wins titles! Look at the euros Holland was on fire scoring tons of goals but they got no where! Two teams with balanced defenses, midfield, and attacks got to the final, italy and germany. We need that, we need stability and consistency to have the ability to win in CL and Serie A week in and week out. That is why i think Xabi would be a much better addition to our squad then poulsen. Oh yeah and ivanovic would be great to. I hope you guys see the point i'm trying to get across. In any case, Forza Juve!:flag3:
I think it was Iaquinta who sad that.
Anyhow, I think that is what we have settled upon, unless Liverpool take our bait and lower alonso's price.
We could use Tiago to launch midfield attacks, and playin 3 upfront would enable him to have more targets. I never doubted his passing abilities, my main doubt has always been positioning, cause he always seems to weaken our formation defensively when we are without the ball.
And he doesn't do enough on the ball to justify his position in the starting eleven. Whatta headache, He adds creativity to our first 11 last year but not enough to over come what he takes out of our midfield in most games.

so you are saying, "Tiago to launch midfield attacks, and playin 3 upfront"
so let see:
Camo, Sissoko, Tiago, Nedved
Amauri, DP, Trez
dont u think we are bit shaky at back?
we played last season with two DM to better protect our defense..
also 4 assists in some 11 games or more, not very impressing..
his passing was more backwards than forward as well...so..
btw. every Juve player will say best about their "coworkers" don't you think so

Tiago can play the same role as Deco played for Barcelona.

I thought this was Alonso topic, but anyway... Backward passing was Nocerino's job. Tiago did all the "in space" passing at wings finding Camo and making him more dangerous. I liked Tiago effort very much, with given playing time. He had bad moments too, but he was very good most of his time. Juver were flying when he was "on".
With Momo and Paulsen as backup, he will do just fine.
