Thiago Alcantara

You'd think that Villanova/Rosell would sit Thiago down and offer him rotation into the Iniesta/Xavi roles.

I'm pretty sure everyone here agrees: Thiago>Cesc

for the money and future then I agree mate. (would still take cesc though! :-)

I'm sorry but Thiago is not better than Cesc. If you've actually watched Barca games this season, you'd know Thiago has lost a lot of possession, sometimes even leading to a chance for the opponents. Don't get me wrong I love Thiago, he will definitely be better than Cesc but for now Cesc is better.

Forget about spending 40+ million (+Dzeko) on Cavani. Just get Thiago and Isco and we're done.

As a signing yes. On current ability absolutely not, Cesc is miles ahead.

Err, nope

They are different players.
Fabregas replaces Iniesta
Thiago replaces Xavi

Fabregas and Iniesta are the elite strings section of the orchestra
Xavi and Thiago are the conductors

Barca should move heaven and earth to get Thiago in that team

If Bayern really want him and are prepared to make room for him I think they would be favourites.
United will sign a talented CM this window TA, Strootman or van Ginkel are the shottlist I would think.

People say we wouldn't have enough room for Thiago? For players like Thiago, you MAKE ROOM. Last year we went for Van Persie even though we already had 4 strikers. We didn't need a striker, but when a player of that quality becomes available, you take them as they can make the difference. Thiago is in that bracket, he is already a top player and can get even better which is a scary thought. If we get the chance to buy him, do it.

It's not fair on the player, unless you have a plan to actually play him.

We can't have everyone.
