For a ball playing, more defensive midfielder he hasn't done bad scoring 3 goals in the first half of the final. I think if we did sign him for City we'd basically have a league side and a cup side. There are a few weeks when we play weekend and midweek throughout the season, having Isco, Thiago, Yaya, and Silva would mean we can rest important players and cope with any injuries. I would hope we can compete for all the domestic trophies this season and at least get out of the group stage of the Champions League.
Thiago can easily be accommodated in our squad and would play plenty of games, I only hope our hierarchy try to persuade him to come to us. We at least have to show interest at the 18 million buyout price.
What people don't seem to recognise is the fact that if we play the Barca way, or the Spanish way, we only need one striker, or even no strikers. All the midfield interchange positions throughout the game, and all ae capable of getting in scoring positions. Personally I'd prefer us to sign Jackson Martinez and forget about Cavani, and use the extra cash we'd save to sign Thiago. If only we could sign these players, and with Pellegrini in charge we should be certain favourites for the league.
