I did giggle at that. To be fair, I'm pretty sure it's what he expected.Nixon_The_Bike_Thief said:

It's a hedged bet.
If Barca have to buy back Thiago (usually with a lower frst option) then they get a battle ready player. If he tanks like Bojan then they made some cash and didn't fork over the wages that need to be covered.
I doubt it. He doesn't have that connection with Barca like Pique or Fabregas. They may twist his head though, you never know. Still, if he gets regular game time wherever he goes it's hard to see him going back to Barca in a few hours. I'm 100% positive that in 2 years time they WILL start talking how they want him back etc. etc. but it won't happen.alky313 said:Thiago will spend 2 years at United..

This is basically the Piqué situation all over again for them.
To the United fan, like Marvin replied to you your team plays with wingers and the style you adopt is pretty much "kick and rush wingers" like you said. Whenever I've watched you guys play it's been like that. Long balls to the strikers, or a winger picks the ball up and of course you know what happens after that. This is why most on here think Thiago won't be good in your system. He is used to the tiki-taka playing style and it will be extremely hard for him to play like you do. Kagawa is the perfect example. He was a top player at Dortmund, and is barely seen at United if I'm not mistaken. Players like that just don't suit your style of play, Strootman I reckon will be more suited.

He's been with Barca since he was 13. I'm not sure how much closer one can get to a club.
