Thiago Alcantara

[cmdub]

Thiago's entourage denies personal terms have been agreed with Man United. Still considering future, although almost made his mind up [rac1]

rac1 is extremely reliable when it comes to barca stuff so it seems we'll know soon enough

Ive just seen the first tweet sayin thiago turned down 100 grand a week from us to sign for trafford. and so it starts,

It's actually 140 grand they're saying! All from a fake United ITK account -> retweeted thousands of times -> soon to be in the Daily Mail and the latest rag urban myth.

There were reports about scum offering him improved wages from 1.5 million per year at Barca to 10 million a year (euros)

i know we cant stop them from getting every good player but im gutted about this, i dont even think we are interested in him, well there hasnt been any serious reports anyway, thought with txhxi here we would of tried to snap him up straight away.

Try convincing a guy who wants to play every game he's getting in the team ahead of a 30m signing and Yaya Toure though. Whereas Phil Jones, Anderson and Tom Cleverly probably don't hold the same threat.

Is it bad I'd bring him in over yaya?

a 30m signing ? that 30m player is nowhere near worth 30m and isnt anywhere near the standard of a 30m player, also thiago is better than barry, garcia, rodwell, so he would only have to fight for a place with fernandinho and toure<br /><br />-- Fri Jun 21, 2013 6:53 pm --<br /><br />

Value is subjective. What makes you think Fernandinho isn't worth the money? Detailed analysis, both statistical and observational over a lengthy period of time like our scouts? Or based on a handful of youtube clips and the fact he isn't a 'name'? What fucking chance do our players have when we've got people like you saying he's not worth this or that before he's even kicked a ball. He could be as good as De Rossi for all we know. Bet you thought he was worth it just because you've heard of him for a while.

Fernandinho will be one of the best midfielders in the Prem next season based on what I have seen on him (Champions League only). He's better than Thiago right now, at least more ready made for the Premier League. I love how some of our fans are following the rag trend of writing him off because of how many caps he has even though he said himself he had to leave Ukraine because Brazilian selectors are biased against such leagues.

Agreed, it's embarassing and pathetically provincial.

Fox Soccer claiming that we are making a late move for Thiago and that the United deal is 'far from close'. Bayern also interested.
