Thiago: - Clutching at Straws

After spending my last two summers obsessing over the signings of Sneijder and Lucas Moura I have now focused my attentions on Thiago.

I hate the summer without football. I have found myself using google translate to read what the spanish are tweeting about Thiago. Most think he will leave although Xavi and Puyol have asked him to stay. - During my sad obsessive behaviour I stumbled upon something pretty pretty pretty interesting. Wait for it.........

Thiago's twitter pictures show him on holiday with an (ex) Barcelona team mate Marc Muniesa - who has just signed for Stoke City by wait for it......EX Manchester United and Barcelona star - Mark Hughes

His good mate who he just went on holiday with and won the U21 trophy has just moved 45 mins down the road from Old Trafford. This has got to mean something right?

I really hope the ESPN article is true and a deal is close. Would love to see him at Old Trafford

I think it's pretty obvious by the pseudo intellectual attempt at a username with an undertone of sarcastic humour that it's him. That username screams Robb. Not to mention the lay out of his post is Robb's to a tee. Poor effort boy. If you're gonna cry off, then cry off properly. That's the 2nd time in a few months you've quit and come back.

pathetic

if you are going to quit at least have the testicular fortitude to stick it out



Or at least come back with your tail between your legs.


Viva, that doesn't really seem like the United way, if that is the case, I'd be worried we have done so to gloss over something else.

It would certainly make his first press conference a lot easier, however I'm sure Barca would have spilled the beans by now, out of spite if nothing else.

Spanish press are rife today with "unable to persuade Thiago to stay" talk.

It's ON like Donkey Kong biaaaatch !

Don't get all the hype with Thiago he is a decent player but we should be looking at better players.

Of course it means something!

It means Muniesa has been considered surplus to requirements at Barca and was given away for nothing (despite being under contract). He picked the club that offered the most money.

I seriously doubt that Thiago will base the most important decision in his footballing career so far on what Muniesa has done.

And if you do get Thiago you will really enjoy his dad, such a pleasant fellow.

He will not base his decision on this but for those hoping the transfer goes through it helps that one of his mates is leaving Barcelona for the EPL.

Xavi does not look like he will fade just yet and Iniesta, Fabregas, Pedro, Busquets, Sanchez are all competition for places for him. As good as he is he is not guaranteed 20 starts next season at the Nou Camp.
