AjanleKoko: ^^A replacement will be found but apparently Thiago wasn't good enough. Except you disagree that he was given a chance and he flunked. I believe he was given a good enough chance but his performance was not convincing enough. Compare with my reference to Pique who interestingly had moved from Man U. And speaking of competition, except you disregard Fabregas, Xavi does have competition already. |

logica: I actually feel better with Thiago gone. He had his chances and blew them. Some will claim he was match rusty from sitting on the bench, but they seem to forget the story of Pique.Come on are you comparing Rafael Marquez to Xavi? Now I'm not saying Rafael Marquez is a horrible player but we are talking about replacing one of the all-time greats at his position here. I think Barca enabled him and he eventually started believing his own hype! And with enabling comes entitlement. |

A-40:Rafael was just as essential to Barca as Xavi was at the time he got injured; otherwise Pique would have replaced him even before he got injured. Have you asked yourself how even Guardiola got replaced in the Barca line up (despite being an "all-time" Barca great)? That's what happens to "all-time" greats: they get old and get replaced. |

David Villa has completed his transfer to Atlectico Madrid for a bargain fee of 5.1 million euros. I am glad he did'nt get to join an english club. Laliga should stop losing stars to them. Also Eric Abidal have also joined AS Monaco on a free tranfer and for one year. Thiago saga continues with his expected transfer to Manchester United still stalling. I wish he makes a decision and stop keeping everybody waiting . I also expect Barca to make up their mind on the choice of defender they want to sign. Almost all defender avialable in Europe have been linked and it is turning to a joke. I wish Villa happy times at Atletico. He's a great stiker but I feels he has lost some touches. I hope he helps them to do well. |

Liga start Barcelona: Levante (home), Malaga (away), Valencia (a), Sevilla (h), Rayo (a), Real Sociedad (h), Almeria (a), Valladolid (h) El classico comes up in the last week of October in Barcelona while the return leg takes place in March next year. Curtain draws to Barca's season when they play host to Villa's Atletico. I wish Barca good luck with the new season. |

I'm glad he's gone now. I believe that those who wish to play for Barca must have their heart and mind set to it. I don't think Thiago had such. At his promotion back in 2011, he confirmed that his wish is to succeed in Football not in Barcelona. So this 's hardly a surprise to me. And to make matter worse, I think the club wanted to sell him, hence the reason why they made sure he never played up to the required number of games stated in his contract for him to stay. Not minding that he missed 13 games thru injury, they could still have played him up to 37 games or 61% if he was so important to them. But they never shifted a finger to try to stop his transfer. That must be very frustrating to him since he now sees himself as the best there is, afterall he scored hatrick in the final of u 21. He's now bigger than Fc Barcelona. He became desperate to leave and even waived €4M to Barcelona to make sure the transfer does not fell through. He'll gladly accept the bench of Bayern (he's destined there any way) than to stay where he feels he's not wanted. On the other side, I think this will offer a good chance for Sergio Roberto to show us that he's the real Xavi successor. He must be licking his lips when this transfer was announced yesterday. I think he's the biggest winner in this deal. Barcelona's the second biggest winner because they'll use this much needed €25M to facilitate the transfer of a defender they have so much desired. Thiago remains the undisputed loser here because he'll only disrupt the harmony in the dressing room at the Allianz Arena, when others see him as the coach's boy and one who plays yet adds nothing new to the team. He would have been better off in Manu where they'll worship him as the one who learned the ropes at the feet of the famous Midfield meastros, Iniesta and Xavi. This move has only one ending for him, and it's not a happy one. |

Alaba_Slim: Actually . . . that's why I held my peace earlier. Johnpaul88: I'm glad he's gone now. Laughable, really. Did you think through this statement? You be learner oh So Barca doesn't like money abi? If they had played him, does it not occur to you that they would have sold him for much more than 25 million euros if they had used him enough to maintain the buyout clause? Johnpaul88: Defender like Thiago Silva/David Luiz/Marquinhos? You dey follow news at all? . . . anyway since I am still a socio, I wish they can snag Thiago Silva. Even if we end up with Adil Rami, I go still happy. If they buy one single defender, it is worth celebrating. But that Sergi Roberto thing na the boy is heading for nowhere but the bench. They made far more noise about Thiago two seasons ago. |

Blame the person that set his release clause and not Thiago himself afterall na una give am leverage AjanleKoko:It seems you guys are doing some form of yard sale! First Villa now Alcantara! Something is definitely wrong in this Rosell era I'm sure the potshots he took at Pep also had a hand in fast tracking this deal |

Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by logica(m): 3:03pm On Jul 15, 2013 |
AjanleKoko:Lol. You no serious. Fabregas ain't going nowhere. |
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Nobody: 3:18pm On Jul 15, 2013 |
My views stand, no matter what y' all say. I blame not the club but Thiago who didn't play well enough to deserve more playing time and who on top of that is cocky. |
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by AjanleKoko: 3:24pm On Jul 15, 2013 |
Johnpaul88: My views stand, no matter what y' all say. I don't blame you for your views either. No offence, but na small pickin eye you dey take look am. You haven't followed football clubs long enough, frankly speaking. The golden era of Spain and Barca is all you know, and that's why you think anybody who turns down Barca can't be successful. That's where I'll leave it. |

Jul 15, 2013 1:38:00 PM With Spain Under-21 star Thiago set to join up with Pep Guardiola at Bayern Munich, the Red Devils launched a bid to sign the 26-year-old former Arsenal midfielder By Greg Stobart Manchester United have made a €30 million (£25.9m) opening offer for Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas. Having seen Thiago elect to join up with former boss Pep Guardiola at Bayern Munich rather than move to Old Trafford, United have turned their attentions to the former Arsenal man. After lodging the offer on Monday, United must now wait for Barcelona to make their stance regarding the midfielder known. Fabregas often struggled to break in to the Barca line-up last season and was occasionally booed by his own supporters when he performed poorly. The Gunners have been keeping tabs on Fabregas - who left the Emirates Stadium for Camp Nou in 2011, throughout the summer - and have a €29m buy-back clause in place. Arsene Wenger is keen to bolster his squad this summer and has been in contact with his former midfielder about his current situation in Catalunya. Despite United's confidence that their £6.2m salary offer would be enough to tempt Thiago, the 22-year-old will complete a move to Bayern |

Johnpaul88: My views stand, no matter what y' all say.I agree with you that he is a tad cocky but na una hype am reach that stage in the first place! Blaming Thiago however doesn't make any sense as he is entitled to seek first team football wherever he pleases (debatable yes but its his right anyway) you need to realize Barcelona is not the alpha and omega of football! Players would leave your team and they will win titles |
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by dayokanu(m): 4:59pm On Jul 15, 2013 |
AjanleKoko: Its not even 25m in cash. Release clause is 18m, 2m is for tax which we paid for goodwill between the clubs being an international transfer, We could have done it the way we did with martinez, Give Thiago the money to buy out his own contract and Spanish to Spanish transaction would avoid the taxes. The remaining 5 million would be proceeds from friendlies between barca and bayern over the next 4 yrs. Nice doing business with y'all |

AjanleKoko:At Bayern? he'll not be successful. But at a club like United? He'll be very successful. At Bayern, he'll meet exactly what he's trying avoid in Barca, then he'll be back to square one. BTW, You have developed a penchant for reminding someone that he's not yet your level in understanding football esp of Barcelona, even when it's entirely unnecessary. We can discuss these issues here fairly on their merits without having to recourse to those measures. They are most likely to create bad blood. |
