Thiago Alcantara

[Spike 12,049]

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.

Song is brilliant player. I'd welcome him even though he played for that scum team. And by scum team I could mean both Arsenal or Barcelona - cwutididthere?

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.

Song made big mistake when joining Barca. 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.

We should buy every talent then...

1.) he is attacking player and cant defend (CAM). We are weak on CM, ST, DM, CB.

2.) barca kid through and through. If he impress, return is certain

3.) 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

[manpe 10,861]

No, not needed

I wish we had a tag for player threads like this that are beyond long shots to come to CFC, for numerous reasons, that simply says "Never Going to Happen."

Thiago is an attacking midfielder, why do we need another?

Hes able to play as a CM too. We need a CM!

[Spike 12,049]

Yes, he can play in that position but saying that how able is he in defence? I don't want him if he can't put in a decent tackel and interception.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

I dont think he is suitable enough to play in the pivot.

meh true, would need to watch a few games of him to see if hes decent at defending and interceptions etc.

I rather we give Chalobah and Mceachran a chance than waste money on an attacking midfielder and play him as a make-shift CM. I was watching the football league show, yesterday and Mceachran was awesome, he was intercepting balls and laying perfect through passes, give Josh a year and he'll be starting for Chelsea. Chalobah is another wonderkid who despite his age is currently among the top CM's in the Championship and is getting favourable reviews from manager and fans alike. Chalobah and Mceachran over Alcantara any day!

[Dy-lan 142]

Great talent but not needed imo, he plays best when he's attacking, and obviously we dont need another CAM....def dont see him working in the pivot in the epl.

[manpe 10,861]

Isn't chalobah a defender?

[Reddish-Blue 2,489]

Isn't chalobah a defender?

Yes..but he's been playing a DM/CM role on-loan at Watford..and he's done fairly well for his age. Maybe he could be a long term option at DM for Chelsea.
