Tiago's reluctance to return to England threatens Everton deal

 

Everton are close to reaching agreement with Juventus to sign the midfielder Tiago Mendes on a season-long loan – with a view to a permanent £8m transfer – but face a familiar problem regarding the Portuguese international. Despite playing for Chelsea for one season, where he was one of Jose Mourinho's first signings, Tiago is not keen on returning to England as Tottenham Hotspur found last January when they negotiated a similar deal to acquire the 27-year-old.

 

Tiago's wage demands were also prohibitive at that time for Spurs but the main stumbling block for Everton – who are desperate to bring in new players before the transfer window closes – is a reluctance of the midfielder to return to the Premier League.

 

Everton, who have still not given up hope of signing another Portuguese international, the Sporting Lisbon play-maker Joao Moutinho, have beaten off competition from Newcastle United to advance negotiations with Juventus. The Italians want to off-load Tiago, who has endured a miserable 12 months in Turin after signing from Lyons last year. Everton have agreed to pay €1m (£790,000) for the season-long loan and a further €9m next summer if the spell is successful.

 

Everton have endured a difficult summer in the transfer market with their problems made worse by injuries to key players such as Tim Cahill and Steven Pienaar. They lost their opening league fixture of the season, at home to Blackburn Rovers, with the resources of manager David Moyes severely stretched.

 

The Rennes midfielder Stéphane Mbia is desperate to complete a move to Everton now he has returned from the Olympic Games.

 

Now back in France following Cameroon's elimination from the Olympics at the quarter-final stage, the 22-year-old claims he is still in talks with the Merseysiders. "I haven't changed my mind, I want to join Everton," Mbia said in L'Equipe. "We are still in contact. I hope now that Rennes will accept to enter into negotiations with this English club. I don't want to let this chance go by."

 

Mbia, who can also fill in as a centre-half or right-back, has two years left on his contract at Rennes. He has come back from the Olympics with a knee injury and will undergo an MRI scan this week to determine the extent of the problem.

Who in their right mind would want to move from Italy to Liverpool? Don't blame the lad

There's obviously a problem in persuading Tiago to commit to England, he's been reluctant to agree to join us and Spurs before that. Bearing in mind that KK said recently that we will be looking to sign players for the right reasons, i.e. they WANT to play for us, I think we should bin this as a potential signing (assuming we haven't already).

 

So bye bye Tiago and fuck off.

Hope we get someone else in of similar or better quality though.

Tiago Snubs Everton & Newcastle For Atletico Madrid?

Submitted by Niraj Prabhu on Thu, 2008-08-21 14:08. Everton, Newcastle United Premiership Transfer News

Everton and Newcastle United-target Tiago is reported to be wary of returning to England despite a loan move with Toffees said to be agreed by his parent club Juventus.

 

The Portugal international midfielder, who played for Chelsea earlier in his career, is reported in Italy, to be keen on moving to Spanish club Atletico Madrid.

 

Juve are apparently desperate to offload the 27-year-old former Lyon man, who has failed to impress for the Turin giants.

 

Corriere dello Sport quoted Tiago, as saying: "I will not go to Everton."

Earlier in the summer, Newcastle were reported to be having a deal in place to sign the central midfielder.

You'd think somebody from Everton, Newcastle or Spurs would have asked the cunt whether he actually fancied playing for them before all these different deals were set up over the last year. Farce.

We don't tap up players at Newcastle  :rant:

 

I wonder if clubs find out players reactions to possible transfers through the press too. :lol:

So we have had no quotes from Tiago or his agent saying he would prefer Spain and he doesn't want to come to England.

 

All we have had so far are quotes of him supposedly saying he will not go to Everton.

 

The only other quotes in this saga are from Juve, who said two prem clubs have shown interest. What's to say he hasn't spoken to ourselves and Everton and opted for us?

 

Now that would be funny, as far as the media's cluelessness goes.

 

Not so funny for Everton though. They have had the most unbelievably quiet transfer window I think I have ever witnessed. Sold players and brought none in. Not even a Sibierski. Damn.
