Another Thiago article...

100% fake account.
Someone has even gone to the trouble of researching it.

Firstly the station in question doesn't appear on this list:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_radio_stations_in_Catalan

Secondly they seem to have stolen their twitter picture from this website.

That's not how logic works.

Firstly, we have two propositions: that he will join United and that he will not. We have no firm evidence to confirm or disprove either. There are many unsubstantiated reports supporting the respective propositions and we are at liberty to assess how these affect the probability of either eventuality. However, even if we conclude the probability is heavily weighted in favour of one of the propositions, in the absence of firm evidence that one of them is correct, we cannot validly state this to be the case.

Secondly, the proposition 'Thiago currently plays for Barcelona' (which is demonstrably correct) does not validate the proposition 'Thiago will remain at Barcelona'. It may be judged to affect the balance of probabilities but it doesn't justify a categorical statement of fact that Thiago will remain at Barcelona. Indeed, when faced with two illogical statements, you can't claim that one is more logical than the other. That in itself is illogical.

Happy to clear this up for you.

Well said Russian.

RR, are you a lawyer??

Haha, true enough that pal. Anyway, my point was that in order for him to move to United something will have to change and there is not a single piece of evidence (yet) that United are making moves to sign him. Nothing.

MUDD, I'm not a lawyer. I'm a pedant.

Conormcgrace, yeah, I accept that. From that point of view, I do see Thiago staying as the greater probability. But we're talking about probabilities, not certainties. (Cf. I'm a pedant.)

why fret over something we have zero control over?!

Yet you choose to ignore an overwhelming amount of circumstantial evidence. I.e. every journo in world football believes we are interested in signing him and are actively trying to do so. If you choose to diagree with them all then I would say that the onus is on you to explain why.
