Full back? If this is Thiago Alcantara then I'm pretty sure he's a centre mid. I don't know much about him but I know that he's pretty good on Football Manager, and ridiculous as it may sound, the guys working for them don't often get it wrong. After a little browse on Wikipedia though I see he is only 5' 7" and for a centre mid that leaves him open to being shoved off the ball easily, but perhaps he would fit the Wilshere role which I would love to see.

Even if this isn't true, it's nice to be linked to players like this rather than the likes of Jerome and just makes you feel a bit more reassured about what's going on behind the scenes.

Well, he is a CM. Claiming he was a full-back was a little embarassing.

Guess Blake could mentor, as we don't have any Expirenced CM'S. I heard somewhere that Blake could play In CM!
