Dream signing

Not another Sancho article

my dream signing for utd for the last 8 years has been thiago alcantara.
After he moved to bayern, not once did I imagine seeing him in a utd jersey

so while the rumours heavily link him to liverpool and it makes sense. I also feel he is such a great players it will be a shame if utd do not "try" to sign him. I feared the likes of juve and psg were in the running but bayern's head coach has "seemingly" admited thiago wants a move to the EPL. Until I see him holding the liverpool shirt I will enjoy dreaming of alcantara in utd's midfield.

One comment I read in my last alcantara post was that he has coasted his way in the bayern team, as if that is even a negative. Imagine having the ability to coast your way into bayerns midfield for 7 years.

PS: I am curious to know who everyone's dream signing (the caveat being utd do stand a chance of buying said player if they went all out i.e pointless to include neymar, salah, mbape etc). Or sancho is the only player fans rate now?

I think it’s pretty obvious.

you are probably right
but at the end of the day there is always that 1% possibility the media have gotten it wrong. and I am here desperately clinging to that

It doesn’t really make sense as a signing for either party, as good as he is.

Which is fine, but it doesn’t from the player and club perspective.

Maybe the club will have a change of tack, and think fack it, but then you’ve also got to consider whether the player will want to play out his last few years trying to get back to the top rather than just playing at it already.

Going as part of a swap deal with Sancho apparently.

If we can’t afford Sancho, I doubt Barca can.

His injury record is the only thing that would concern me.

Always wary of buying from Bayern.

#hargreaves
but if I could go back in time I will still sign hargreaves. He was the missing piece as SAF, sadly was broken after a year

as for thiago here are his minutes played in the last 5 years
tel:19/20 - 4653 mins
tel:18/19 - 4483 mins
tel:17/18 - 3285 mins
tel:16/17 - 4906 mins
tel:15/16 - 3732 mins

so he won't be playing or expecting to play every single game but he is far from a sick note
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Definitely this

Hargreaves was the perfect foil for Carrick, wherever he played, usually right back or dm

Thiago's injury record is not as bad as it was a few years ago. It's those lazy narratives that people just don't want to get rid of.

Also I doubt his relationship with Pep is thaaat good. Even though Thiago came through under Pep and looked like the natural heir to Xavi. Pep always favoured Fabregas even though Thiago never disrupted the balance of the side like Cesc.

Anyways he's an amazing player who's transfer to us depends on what Wijnaldum does with his contract. If Wij leaves on a free next season, we'll get Thiago. We're known for securing transfers a season in advance if we really want the player.
