Thiago Alcantara

[Matt the Giant]

Can I just point out that we did actually win the Premier League with those two starting pretty much every game they were fit.

I know, and I also know how we did in the CL.

As I said, I do think they are two very good footballers, but with the goals we have, we could do better, and we hopefully will.
Also I'm not saying I want them out of here, but suggesting they themselves might want to move on if no longer regular starters.

I'd love to keep Barry here for years and years, taking a coaching role at the academy once he hangs up his boots.

I know this is not on topic but mentioning Barry taking a coaching role hasn't that been suggested with NYCFC. On a slightly different topic it would be good for Maicon to do the same after he has finished playing and go to our academy.

I'd be very surprised if Maicon has any kind of future with us.

Barry has a year left on his deal and although he is not worth a new one, I would hand him a one-year extension, allowing him to play against Prem cannon-fodder and the domestic cups.

Just in time for New York City F.C opening season and a friendly £10m bid for a X2 Prem League winner and former England international.

Barry had been on the downslide for quite a while and the first sign was the game at Bayern the year before.

He was overrrun by the Wigan midfield in the Final.

Sadly, I think he will sit it out for another year and attempt to leave on a free unless we can thrash something out this summer.

His wages are far too high for clubs to consider at present.

How much stock is there with the Stoke links?

Read Leslie fancies him and Joleon.

Any news on Isco or any other targets will be appreciated.

Would be nice moves for the pair of them, both being a little closer to the Midlands.

Hughes has made a career out of signing former players and Stoke are one of those clubs daft enough to pay big wages to older players, see Crouch and Owen.

Lescott deserves a bigger club than Stoke and I am sure he would stay if it wasn't for a World Cup year.

A Newcastle, Villa or Sunderland would be more his level.<br /><br />-- Tue Jun 11, 2013 10:51 am --<br /><br />

As stated previously, there is a lot of confidence at City with regards signing Isco.

Thanx Tolm.Hope we get our targets quickly and with a good pre-season under our belt, I am confident of a successful title challenge.

Can we stay on topic please this is the "Thiago Alcantara" thread. Lets keep it that way please. Cannot let this guy go to the rags, it'd be a fucking disaster.
