Thiago Alcantara

[taconinja]

Has anyone found confirmation of the percentage of appearances he's made? Is it close to 60%?

Just done a quick google search and found this, dont know how reliable it is.

However, if you do the math, even this "60%" doesn’t make sense. With 34 appearances in 58 matches, Thiago has currently featured in 58.6% of Barcelona’s fixtures this season, and provided he plays a part in Barça’s final two fixtures, he will reach that 60% mark (36/60). Even with a call-up to the Spanish Under-21 squad, Thiago could still play against Malaga, as the squad doesn’t travel to Israel until the 3rd of June. And if the clause is based on minutes, then Thiago would have been free to leave the club for €18 million just a summer ago (Thiago played 2947 minutes, out of a total 5760 minutes) – and obviously, nothing materialised.

Did he take part last night?
Plenty more about thiago here...

i make it that barca this season will play 60 games in all comp and if thiago playes against malaga he will have played 36 games, exactly 60% of the games.

Yeah he started. Wonder if they're taking bets as to him playing against Malaga...

Talksport England says Milan is hot on Thiago's ass and is not interested in buying out Bojan, looking at Thiago instead.

Milan's desire for Thiago has not been hidden, with galliani, braida and gandini all saying we would do everything to buy him if the opportunity arises

If this 18m clause comes into effect, there's gonna be war from all the big boys

Yeah if that clause is activated, he has his choice of clubs in Europe.

 

[LoveCity]

United planning to speak with his father/agent apparently.

United planning to speak with his father/agent apparently.

I would hope/imagine we have already done so if there is even the slight possibility of him being available.

He is just going to go round every club and try to get the best deal.

it doesn't matter what anyone says if he plays against malaga, cant see barca not playing him if it means they would lose at least 15mill if they do want to sell.

Thiago has joined up with the Spanish u21's meaning he won't be in the squad next weekend. Ultimately means that his clause of 18m stands and surely means he is off because if Barca wanted to they could have told him to stay and shown they want him next season.
