This! The combination of Fernandinho/ Yaya / Thiago would be perfect! Fernandinho will offer us a gritty box to box midfielder who possesses De Jongs bite aswel as Silvas Passing. This will let Yaya push forward and use his power and presence where he can blossom in the final third. Whilst Thiago would offer flair, the turns, the little one twos with silva, He would be the perfect fit for us as he has a box of tricks aswel as a final ball. If we want to acheive 'sexy' football we should seriously consider building a team around these two.

its not just considering it we should do but throw the kitchen sink at the deal if it means we get him.
Without any bias (as he may go to Utd) or any flapping, there does seem to be a few who think this isn't the finished article etc.
This guy is already there. Not just in the u21 tournament. Watched him loads of times and he is everything the modern midfielder should be.
No other options at this price to get this sort of quality. Then taking into account he will only get better who ever gets him has a top class player. Now. Not in a few years once he gets experience. He will dictate games now.
If he goes Utd it will be their Scholes for the next generation.
If he comes to us we must find room for him.
I think because of his age a few don't give him enough credit for the player he is now.

spot on mate
Very good player.
Disagree about the Man Utd connection and comparison to Scholes
Man Utd have played with wingers which is why Kagawa hardly played at all in the League last season. If they sign Thiago, it is either a sign that Moyes does not know what he is doing, or they are going to play through midfield
What's the point of signing a player who is the master of quick fire passing and give and go if he has only one or two players around him in midfield? I'm sure he would still do a good job, but some of his ability would be wasted.
Scholes stood out as a goal scorer in his earlier years, and also as a player who would switch the play with long diagonal passes to the wings. He was perfectly suited to Utd's game. Thiago is a very different midfielder
man Utd and Barcelona/Spain have very different playing styles, and the Utd fans who are going mad about him don't seem to realise that
They signed two good midfielders last season in Powell ad Kagawa, and their influence on their season was virtually nil because of the emphasis on wing play.

thiago rejects 300 grand a week from city to join the rags, can just see this right now from the press
Exactly my opinion as well mate. I can't see him in their team at all. Doesn't suit the way they play and it will be incredibly hard for him to play there. Kagawa is the best example of that.Marvin said:Very good player.
