OneMoSalah 8,887 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Well if you believe what will happen at the end of the season with Pep and Robbie we might as well consider signing this guy. Even in January tbh, we need a CM, hes not playing a lot at Barca so why not? Seems his progress has been halted in the last season or two. Was playing for Barca a lot under Pep, then they signed Fabergas and he ended up being sacrificed for Cesc. He was also in the Spanish national team until Vincente Del Bosque demoted him and well I've not heard much about him recently. Thoughts?Also looked for his previous thread, it was locked because he signed that contract extension when we were linked to him under Villas-Boas, maybe a mod could unlock it and merge these?

Technically hes amazing, don't believe how Del Bosque made him go play for the U21s again. If only he'd chose to play for Brazil, he'd start every game for them.

Well if he gets game time, he seems to be struggling for time under Tito. Plus Barca have a wealth of young players coming through/have younger players that play in midfield: Cesc, Sergi Roberto, Sergi Samper, Johnathon dos Santos and Rafinha, can't contemplate them all. Plus thats just the two more offensive players rather than the sitting position. Might have to sell one or two of them so why not test their resolve!

I agree, chuck in offers left, right and centre!!!Deulofeu and Dongou (spelling?) will be both some players. Dongou reminds me of Samuel Eto'o which is a coincidence because he came to Barca through the Samuel Eto'o foundation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beepu 1,714 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 La Masia is full of talent and they have limited playing time in the senior team, agree with flashman that we should at least put in offers and try our luck. Im sure barca would put in a buy back clause like romeu though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
communicate 2,703 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 He can be a good player for us but I don't see barca letting him go. I can see him replacing xavi in a couple years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see him replacing xavi in a couple yearsOnly problem being does he want to wait a couple of years before getting a chance to fully establish himself or come here if we bid for him as we can offer him regular football (under Pep if he becomes coach at the end of the season too)? I think if we get Pep and go for him, we'll get him imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I dont want Pep as coach, I dont want this guy either. Not because Thiago would be bad player (he is big talent) but because if he played well for us, there is not smallest chance of keeping him. Barca would come, he would follow.Anyway Alex Song is having a very small role in barca , maybe we should buy him in winter? I know he just joined barca, but here, he would be starter. Great player, would pair with Mikel great. Song is perfect upgrade for Rambo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reddish-Blue 2,513 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 The kid's market value is around 25 million and he's got a contract until 2015, even if we tried to buy him, he wouldn't be available on the cheap.He would be an awesome addition to Chelsea though.

Yes they are big team and all, but he is not near as important he would be in any other team. Despite he is only half year there, we have more chance to sign him than we would if he had still played for Arsenal, so I say it was a great transfer in case we will be interested in this guy. And about his loyaly to Arsenal; well he said he is staying and few days later left. Enoug said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are weak on CM, ST, DM, CB. 2.) barca kid through and through. If he impress, return is certain3.) Pay 25mio on player that never had regular football on pro level?4.) Three positions he could play and we already have Oscar, Hazard, Mata, Kdb to fill in. He is great talent but not needed and his barca string is too strong, we should spend 25mio elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
