Thiago Alcantara

[Syth]

On the bench v Malaga tonight.

Wonder if he will get a run out.

If he does, will it make a difference to the 18m buyout?

David Villa just scored 1-0. Wonder where he will end up next season - Arsenal?

WOuldnt have mattered if he played full 90min

Needed to play 30min in at least 60% of matches.... 18m clause in full e.f.f.e.c.t

That being said... doesnt he look good?? (you can pretend it's your red and black kit as well)

No he doesn't! He is one of those guys, who just looks better in Sky Blue! :P

Thanks for buyout clarification.

Nice in Milan shirt but much prefer City blue.

Just come on v Malaga

Thiago now on. 54 minutes.

Is there anything concrete here, or are people just assuming that because he has a release clause, he'll automatically want to leave? I'd also question any young player that Barca are willing to let go. Having said that, they have made the odd cock up in that respect in the past.

There have been suggestions in the press that he is unsettled. Was a Pep player (Pep's brother is his agent) and not as big a fan of Tito. Who knows....I don't think he has said anything publicly. If AC is correct that the clause requires 30 minutes in 60% then I expect we will find out soon enough. The release clause goes back up to 90 in August so this one will have to happen quickly.

Let's hope Pellegrini has a word after the match then.

 

[Joe Hart's Dandruff]

I think Thiago's style would suit the Premier League perfectly!

 

[Ducado]

Is he any good?

No question about his ability, but questionable what extra he gives us when we have Silva and Nasri. Likewise for Cesc
