Thiago Alcantara

[FromPollockToSilva]

Thiago is clearly an excellent player but he didn’t put up much resistance when Liverpool won 3-1 in Munich last season and I don’t think he alone would fix everything for us either.

In that game he was alongside the glacial Javi Martinez and playing behind Gnabry, James Rodriguez and Ribery. Compare that lot’s pressing ability to Goretzka, Gnabry, Müller and Coman and you’ll see what the difference is.

Thiago or Auour to City doesn't make much sense to me when we can't get Foden and Bernardo on the pitch.

Next season Liverpool will face super-charged mass defences and will have problems opening teams like that up but how do you assimilate a passing midfielder into your side when your midfield play is based around manic pressing?

Well we can get them on the field if we let non performing players go or relegate their minutes.

Foden is the current best starter at RWF over Mahrez. Bernado in a 3 man rotation with Kevin and Aouor will easily give all 3 more than enough minutes.

They're in for everybody though so no surprise, and probably more agent pushing shit

Better there than Liverpool. United don't need him as much as other positions and then Solskjaer won't use him right. Or he will but he'll misuse someone Pogba or Fernandes to compensate.

At Liverpool he'd improve one of the only three positions left in that team that could be improved. And Klopp is good enough to use him effectively.

They haven't even signed their main target and I don't think Bayern are not willing to let him go.

There has to be a reason liverpool havent signed him yet. Media made out it was done, player and manager love each other etc etc

Liverpool's owners FSG are cheap as fuck and only interested in lining their pockets.

FSG have form too with Boston Red Sox. Once they became successful they stopped making the same kind of efforts to be successful moving forwards.

This is why I see Barcelona splunking 100m on a Liverpool player as a bad thing, as it gives Liverpool licence to go out and actually buy players without making a loss.

Would hate for a player like him to end up at Pool, worse even at United. We should be all over this and offering Gündogan in exchange
