yuvala 2,167 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 De Rossi?He is 29. I thought we where going for young players?IMO you can't win the league with only young players.. you need some older ones.De Rossi is great, and he looks as though he has atleast 2-3 good years left in him - thats enough of a reason to buy him.Who knows he could even have like 6 good years.. who knows.Italians ..

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 De Rossi? He is 29. I thought we where going for young players?If we go for young players, we have Romeu, Chalobah. No need to buy others youth. De Rossi wont harm our youth and he offers steel and exp in midfield. ---Thiago? HELL NO! IF HE BECOMES GOOD HE WILL RETURN TO BARCA 100%.

Blue Gino 377 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I see Marca and a Barcelona based radio station RAC1 are saying Barca are putting "feelers" out there and willing to accept 20 million for Alcantara. I like his technical abilities but he's doubting his future at Barca based on lack of playing time, which is something I see him facing at Chelsea.

OneMoSalah 8,887 Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Apparently since he hasn't play 60% of Barca's games this season hes available for a measly €18 million. FUCKING SIGN HIM!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike 7,516 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Why aren't we in for him ? He's an amazing young talent available for a paltry fee ? err... because we don't need him? he's not a classic pivot player and there is no chance he will challenge Mata or Oscar for the CAM position. We'll be shelling 18mil on a hybrid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be shelling 18mil on a hybridHe is better in the pivot playing as a deep lying playmaker than any player we have..barca also have played him and see him as a pivot player so i dont quite understand us not needing him! I am not saying he would be the best player for us but not needing him and talking about shelling 18mil is just wrong in my mind.. 18mil for a great player is always useful.

It is the same reason I don't want the club signing Modric as well. Great players but if we sign Thiago, we need to sign a new DM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we wanna dominate the opposition's midfield, we need a new DM/CM.I just want a midfielder that doesn't mind lunging into the odd rough challenge...someone that is physical.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Barca fans think Thiago as next Iniesta. Not double pivot or deep playmaker like Xavi, buf offensive flair midfielder who can also play in several positions, but is best as offensive player in 4:3:3 ala Lamps or Iniesta. THerefore he is not needed here to sit on bench (not for 18mio at least). And if he makes it here he will return to barca and do a "fabregas".

Cesc-Xavi, Thiago-Iniesta as I know. Thiago just comes on for Xavi due to fact that Xavi is now older and cant play full 90mins every match for whole season.

Zinedine Iniesco 172 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 To make it clear, Thiago has never really been at piece with barca, he almost left a few years ago as his father didnt really see barcelona with a big intent on him. If he leaves he prob wont return lol. I think one of either fabregas or thiago if not both will leave barca, rumors from RMC say that real madrid have been in talks yesterday with his father, but i havent heard supporting details.If you bring him to chelsea he would be a superb signing, for anyone actually, hes very talented.EDIT: Sorry, it was not RMC it was RAC1 http://futbol.as.com/futbol/2013/05/31/primera/1370037501_868792.htmlI could see madrid pulling for him, its always nice for the two el classico clubs to throw punches at each other. Barca took neymar while madrid pulls of the figo of this generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
