Lyon's Tiago makes 'come and get me' plea to AC Milan, Juventus
tribalfooball.com - April 24, 2007 Olympique Lyon midfielder Tiago has made a 'come and get me' plea to Juventus and AC Milan. "Yes, they (Lyon) have offered me a new contract," said the former Chelsea midfielder. "My agent is taking care of the details. "But I have other ambitions. I want to play for a great club, like Juve or AC Milan. But president (Jean-Michel) Aulas won't let me leave." |

If we have a chance to go for him then we should totally try to get this one, he would be able to fill either Seedorf or Pirlo's role and he is a class player.

QUOTE (jefri91 @ Apr 24 2007, 10:38 AM) anyone have info about dis guy?  He was at Chelsea before they gave him up plus Cash for Essien, imo it was a bit of a stupid move, Chelsea lack that sort of creative midfielder, even though I'm a big Essien fan, I think they should have given up someone else instead of him |

QUOTE Tiago fancies Italian adventure Lyon midfielder Tiago Mendes has admitted that he would favour a switch to Serie A with either Milan or Juventus. The Portuguese ace, who has been linked with both clubs in recent times, is contracted to the French champions until 2009 but is looking for a new challenge. “I like it in Lyon and before the Christmas break President Jean-Michel Aulas offered me a contract extension, but I have to admit I have different ambitions,†said Tiago. “Serie A and World Cup winning football are a dream for me,†added the man who will turn 26 next week. “Milan or Juventus would be the ideal solutions for me. “The President doesn’t want to facilitate my departure, but I trust my agent and I believe that the fact that my current deal expires in 2009 favours me.†Tiago, who helped his club win a record sixth straight title at the weekend, started his career with Sporting Braga before joining Benfica in 2002 and winning his first cap against Scotland. Tiago then appeared for Chelsea in 2004-05, but was transferred to Lyon just 12 months after his arrival at Stamford Bridge. The midfielder was a leading star in the Portugal side that qualified for the 2006 World Cup Finals and is highly considered by Coach Felipe Scolari. I guess if it were up to him we would definately be his first choice since we would gaurantee him CL football. We should really go after this one, he's younger then Ze Roberto and if he doesn't want to renew his contract then he wouldn't be too expensive since Lyon would risk losing him for free. He would really add dept in our midfield, plus he has a good goal scoring record, much better then Pirlo or Seedorf's |

Good player, but never really impressed me. Quality wise, Pirlo and Seedorf are much better. It depends on if he is willing to accept the bench at Milan .. But Juve is a much more realistic oppertunity for him, as they are looking to build a team for Serie A.

He's class. But slow. I think he should stay in France.

Nothing special, we want to move forward, buying players like Tiago isn't moving forward

He can be a good sub, but I think he wants to be a starter rather than just a rotation player.

He will know that if he wants to come to a club like Milan then he will have to fight for his place. If he wants the easy ride then he can either stay where he is or go to Juve |
