lucio 5,418 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Wrong choice of words. I meant he WILL BE better than Schweinsteiger ever was.he will never be more complete than schwein as his defending will never be comparable. well probably not. he should be compared to xavi more than schwein as they are much different styles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilvorak 3,734 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 we were outmuscled by diame when we played west ham. tell me who would help for that? thiago or pogba?Honestly, stop posting your lack of knowledge on even the most basic things is getting exposed here. Out of all the Top 4 teams we're easily the ones the least prone to getting "outmuscled" or "bullied".Next you're going to tell me Barca wouldn't be ale to hang with Stoke.

Toli 977 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Would be a great buy he is not a number 10 and all people saying that just dont watch him enough.. He is a 8 or a 6 an would be a class player in our pivot with a strong player.. BUT i believe in josh so i dont want him!He is one of the players i like the most that dont play for chelsea and I have been watching the barca games that he has played! And I also read various stuff that pep wanted him to be the next xavi!he is definetly no "6". he is an 8, as already stated right. and also, he wont be the "next xabi alonso"- he is no long-range passer. his game is based on short passing style. but he is really good, technically, also can score goals etc. if he is available for 18 m euros, i wouldnt think about it twice and get him IMMEDIATELY. he could be the deep-lying playmaker we have waited for so long.

lucio 5,418 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 look we have mata , osc and hazard already in our starting lineup. 3 diminutive players. the last thing we should do is put small players in front of the back 4. who would you rather have when the opposition is attacking us. de rossi or thiago?

The Skipper 20,609 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Please make it happen. £15m is a steal of the highest order. Perfect player for our pivot. I'm sure we nearly signed him a couple of seasons back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Surely with a buy-out clause of £15m We, United, City, Arsenal, Milan, Inter, Tottenham perhaps, Dortmund(?) and even teams like Schalke and Leverkusen are interested. It really is a no-brainer. Who cares if we have a few midfielders already? Would you turn down Messi because we already have Torres, Ba and Lukaku in his position?

Stats 7,148 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 he will never be more complete than schwein as his defending will never be comparable. well probably not. he should be compared to xavi more than schwein as they are much different stylesMore Iniesta. Because Xavi does not dribble as much where Thiago is almost a replica of Iniesta. Just not as good as him yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 It's a bit of a nobby name though innit? Thiago Alcantara? What's it all about then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonPride1905 236 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 His clause is 89 mil. , who the hell said it is 15? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacquiao 1,834 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I would love him at Chelsea he could become a great player in the pivot and also another option for the number 10 role, he could become the next Modric! and he has a legendary name!

Beepu 1,714 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 His clause is 89 mil. , who the hell said it is 15?A rumour circulating, mentioning that he is unsettled at the club not getting his chance, so Barca willing to let him go for 15m(maybe with a buy back clause, cant remember) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Regarding his release-clause - It's originally 90m (euro) but due to not playing a certain amount of games, a clause in his contract reduces the buy-out to 18m (euro). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I am all for him, but I really prefer if KDB or Oscar play the deeper role, they seem really good there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect player for our pivot.I'm sure we nearly signed him a couple of seasons back?Is he? (the best player for our pivot)I mean, no one questions his talent, but I don't think he is made for the double pivot. He is a 4-3-3 player, a perfect CM for that system, but I dont think he will be very good with Mikel or Romeu on the pivot!I would prefer us to spend money on De Rossi and use Oscar on the pivot, than to buy Thiago...
