The level Thiago plays right now is better than what 70% of matured midfielders can offer, If he improves he would even be better

[size=16pt]Now Man Utd fans who is your daddy?[/size]

Who are those 70%. Let him play one full season before we can even rate him. Not these media stuff. He is just an £18m, how much was Moura, Hazard, etc.

Let him playe to enable us see. In your mind he is better than Toure, Pirlo etc abi?

elampiro:

Will Thiago make Chelsea team? No.

Was it not Thiago that was rumoured to be fighting for appearance clause while United approached (If true though)?

Thiago would captain Chelsea easily. The same Chelsea Hazard and Oscar became instant regulars and have Lampard still running midifeld with Ramires and Mikel?

I laff in STamford bridge

Was Illaramendi not in the Spanish U-21 team where Thiago was pissing in everyones nostrils?

Pissing in everyone's nostrils at Under 21? When Illarra dey beast the midfield against Barca in La Liga, making dem Xavi look like mortals, wey Thiago bin dey?


Even Chrisantus show imm logo for Under level. Ayew gan reign for Under - That is as far as it goes. Under, strictly Under. The real deals are those rubbing it with the high and mighty, not some competition organised to keep juveniles off the street and jails.

Was it not Thiago that played for Barca against United in the preseason of last year? And we think he is better than our guys when we subdued Barca in that match? Now I see what SAF and co saw.

Was that not the same Pirlo and Toure that Toni Kroos and the Bayern midfield took a monster dump on and Gundogan even did a repeat on Toure again?

Are players judged by their fee? How much does Torres cost vs How much Suarez cost?

LWKMD.But in all honesty it looks like Thiago's skill set would translate very well into the senior game.he is not bigger,stronger or faster at under 21 level,he is just better

Where that Chelsea dey now? A champion getting knocked out of group stage. The same Juve that Molested you couldnt get a shot on target vs Bayern in 180minute

Bayern and Chelsea directly contested for prize, we both know how that ended - Chelsea easily shoved Bayern aside to snatch what they thought they already had in the bag from their grasp.

It still baffles me hw an inexperienced bench warmer like thiago could hav beeen touted as solution to our midfield, wen we threw away a pogba dt was already familiar with d club's ways, and wldnt even nid to "settle down and acclamatize to his new environment". Has it gotten so bad for us to d extent dt we were actually willing to pay 25m, for a bench warmer to cme and solve our midfield problems, wen we cld hav bought modric earlier?? Hw much modric wan dey collect, wey we no ft pay dt time sef?? Or hw much spurs wan collect wey we no ft pay, despite d fact dt, just 2yrs or so earlier, we still paid 30m for a 28yr old berbatov, wen we had ronaldo, rooney and tevez banging in goals oo.instead, fergie was more interested in hw giggs wld play till d age 65! We hav only carrick, cleverly and ando as d only senior CMF's in d squad, and yet fergie was talking opaks about him leaving behind a team with d right mix of playrs at d right age. Screw u, fergie!!

If Thiago was so good he wouldn't have been 18m. See Neymar. Barca were hoping they will sell Thiago for 80m plus, but his market crashed after some games exposed him. He is just a junior player. That's all. Was it not Thiago who played against United last year? Our midfielders did better than him in that match. He is overhyped and SAF and his fellows knew why they didn't push for him.

That was the same way Bayern bought a benchwarmer called Roben and won the Champions League, Inter bought the benchwarmer called Sneijder and won the Champions League.

The same Pogba you called a benchwarmer and is now beasting with Juventus

Thiagos buyout clause was 18m till July 31 when it would go up to 90m.

When Thiago played vs United last yr did you win?

Chelsea are not competent enough to compete with the big boys

dt was y i used d word "inexperienced".prior to der moves, Schneider and robben had shown d world wat dey kld do. Juve didnt buy pogba to solve any midfield problem,either.

Thiago lacasera was on for 90 minutes when Anderson and Cleverly marshaled our midfield to beat Barca 2-1. So why do we even need him when our boys are better. He is just over rated.

He didn't play last year, it was two years ago. I got it mixed up.

dayokanu:

We simply bitchslapped Man Utd to Thiago.
It was even small money 20m for a player like Thiago is a steal. If Barca had managed him well his buyout clause would have been 90m.

I'm really really suprised Man U didn't go all out for him! Maybe he was simply not a David Moyes type of player which would be suprising as guys like Pienaar,Fellaini possess a bit of flair

Barca have been dropping the managerial ball lately! First Villa for a mere pittance and now this

dayokanu:
Thiago we bought for 20m can go for 35 in a few months. Illaramendi just sold for 38m Its because Man Utd is no longer seen as a top destination, Gone were the days players dreamt of playing for Ferguson, Now who would want to play for David mudafucking Moyes?? Thats why I thought the Moyes signing was faulty.

I don't think Man U even put together a bid for him so its not a situation where he snubbed them or anything like that. All this talk of Bale and Ronaldo is rather laughable when they can't launch a bid for Thiago who is younger and cheaper and addresses their most pressing need

dayokanu:


Kroos has always been an effective possesion weapon many people underrate and I think he is better than many players of his age

Kroos is one of the finest midfielders in Europe! Its not even up for debate his technique,vision,passing range and playmaking abilities is top notch plus he is only 23 which means he hasn't even reached his ceiling yet! I hope Thiago does not think he is guaranteed a first team shirt! Its the European Champions he is coming to not just any club

afrodoc:

that list is a tough one to rank i accept.i wont rily argue either way this is one of the best crops of young midfielders football has been blessed with BUT i think Gotze and Thiago are the best of the lot.
for thiago u cant bar favoritism cos we r all human and remember that promises have already been made concerning his chances of making next year's world cup

That is actually my biggest worry! That Thiago gets there by favoritism! Gotze is an upgrade on Kroos but I don't think the rest are bar Gundogan as neither of them have proven themselves consistently for the last 2-3 seasons

And this was how Thiago pissed on the Man Utd midfield

And which midfield won at the end?

It's Monday already I want to sleep.

Paulinho that's almost same age with Messi and Fabregas and has never played a minute in Europe.

Are Poland and Lithuania no longer part of Europe?

A-40:

I don't think Man U even put together a bid for him so its not a situation where he snubbed them or anything like that.

That's what I think as well - journos just make up things as they go and desperate fans lap it up as fact.

As for Bayern, there will definitely be departures - if not now, in January/next summer to cater for the arrival of Goetze and Thiago.

Some fans eeh! So the guy is now not good enough for United?.

chrisley024: Some fans eeh! So the guy is now not good enough for United?.

make guys console themselves now..

chrisley024: Some fans eeh! So the guy is now not good enough for United?.

Hahahaha.

But if you watch my comments all these while, I have never been desperate for anything. I just believe the club knows best.

I am only desperate for a solid addition to the midfield and let the player hit form and not one who wil flop because you can never know. Modric is not able to repeat his form at Madrid, etc.

If I am desperate, it's for Rooney to stay because I am not comfortable with us without him yet. By January, my stand on that can change depending on what I see.

E don enta Fabregas now!

Make una leave Man Utd with all these back & forth rumor bull**** in the end, we'll know where we stand

What the press people do is to listen to any sign of direction from the coach or team member, then the next minute it's speculation all around it. If SAF says. A big player and a young player, media will say its Ronaldo or Bales and Thiago or Strootman. If the club says they are looking at the left back, media will say Evra is concluding a deal with Monaco and Baines is here already. If Moyes say he has an unlimited budget and the midfield is a priority, then the media must look for who that big midfield player is. He must be Fabregas, he must be Modric, he must be Bales or even Xavi.

Any media house that refuses to speculate will not sell because it's like part of the fantasy and thrill the people want in the absence of league football. Even Spanish papers and the rest countries are not left out. It appears worse in England because we speak and read English.

Its silly season for a reason! There would always be some crazy speculation such as: Arsenal bidding 30 million pounds for Suarez

Actually we have some young boys that need to go on loan for some gametime. Are y'all interested? Emre Can and Pierre Hojbjerg are improvements over what you have in your midfield plus Gotze and Thiago have more or less come in for Tymoschuk and Mario Gomez then there's Pizarro going next summer as well its really not that complicated if Pep's selection is performance based and not just according to his preferences!
