Did Chelsea just sell Drogba after he flopped in his first season? no! They invested alot of money in him and had faith he would come good, look at him now! Same situation with Tiago, we splashed the cash on him, his transition into Italian football has been rather disappointing, but i too believe he can be a success at Juve. But like mafia said, at this point in time, it wouldnt bother me too much if he stays or goes. Id only sell him for the right money and use that money towards bringing in other champions.
I appreciate youre logic, well said

Who do you have in mind as better?
Well
1st thing your question
Who do I have in my mind as better well...:
*Diego who would cost something around 5M more than Alonso
*Lampard who is one of the more effective players in the world something that mr.Alonso isn`t
*Buying someone for the left side of the midfield and put Nedved instead (there are some players who could fit there like Quaresma, Mancini, there is some Lyon midfielder who seems pretty good forgot his name but he is a bit selfish but we could change that... and more...)
*convince Roma to sell us Aquilani
*Stealing Mascherano under Liverpool`s nose also won`t be a bad option
*maybe even convince Fabregas that Arsenal isn`t the place anymore as Flamini and Hleb leaving... and then convince Arsenal to sell him to us...
*Hleb if he can play the left side of the midfield

I can think about more options but those are the options that came straight into my mind

2nd thing is about Tiago:
Someone here said Tiago might have failed here in his 1st season but that happened to others just as well and they turned up great (like Drogba with Chelsea)
I was thinking Tiago is actually a player who could be great for us if he finds his form BUT there is also the problem of his defencing skills which he lacks (he seems a bit lost while defending)
It could change with training but I think that the best option would be loaning him or selling him

Loaning him to some other Serie A side would be great but if not Premiership or Spain would be ok too
If he finds his form we could take him back if not we could still sell him (for less $ but we still can...)

Selling him is the option that says he might developes but it`s highly unlikely and we don`t count on it
that gives us the needed cash to sign someone else

I`m for selling him if we could get someone from my list (IF and only IF there would be a problem matching the price...)
if not then I say keep him for another year or loan him (give him another chance)
I wouldn`t sell Tiago for raising some cash to buy Alonso as I don`t think Alonso worth that much

actually he had one great game against Empoli, were he made all three goals, but i guess its not enough for whole season. and i would prefer to keep Almiron who had some good displays at France not Tiago, so i guess it says it all about portugese situation. a nice guy who doesnt suit stripes.
Tiago didn't score three goals he assisted them, the one who all the goals were Trezeguet.

I agree with Orgut about diego:
If we want to be a real contender for CL next season then we need to
match or better the buys of the other big clubs and I don't see how alonso who isn't really one of the worlds best can match up to a buy like nasri, diego probably would just exceed the 20m mark however our management seem scared to go over or anywhere 20m, so expecting to be up there challenging with the big clubs is just fooling themselves and lying to our fans, we have to spend a lot and we must get desireable players

Diego for 20 mil € would be a bargain. It's far more likely that his price is around the 30-35 mil € mark. Why? Because Werder knows that if they were to sell him they could get that money from a spanish or english club.

Oh...so many things you wrote that's just doesn't make sense!!!
-we all want Diego but he would cost us at least 10-15 mil more than Alonso.


-Fabregas?Mascherano?Hleb?
what are you talking about??

It's like getting Messi now,common it's obvious Hleb leaving for Inter/Real/MOney.

-we can't steal mascherano,after Sissoko,they simply won't sell Mascherano.btw Alonso is way better.

-Fabregas?yeah right.nice dream.
-How can we compete for Aquilani when REal giving Roma 30mil for him?
ofcourse they will say him to their rivals Juve for 20....right....


DUDE!common....
i like your dreams but we better be with both feet on the ground going after the right and possible targets.

Believe me,i'm a big fan of Diego,it would be a dream havong him here.
but i'm staying real to the situation.we won't compete with the big clubs when it comes to splash 30-40mil...we just wont!

And you simply underrating Alonso.probably you didn't saw a lot of his game i guess...

I know Diego would cost more
he is likely to cost around 28M Euros which is 10M more than the reportedly 18M for Xavi Alonso

Fabregas I know it`s a dream and it could be possible only if he understands that Arsenal is selling their players and won`t develope any furthor

Mascherano is not Liverpool`s as I remember (MSI)

and there are still Lampard and Deco

I wouldn't pay more than 20 million euros for fabregas, sorry but i really don't rate him or any other arsenal player high..........

Attack: Amauri
Midfield: Xabi Alonso
Defence: Barzagli
LeftBack: Grosso

this is what is think is going to happen


but i hope this:

Attack: Amauri
Midfield: Xabi Alonso
Defence: Zapata
Leftback: Taiwo (his left foot is freakin dangerous!!!)

and if we are going to buy a attacking midfielder then i would go for Diego Capel...

but for Albin Ekdal i hope he makes first team
