Thiago Alcantara

Rummenigge on Thiago: "He's a great guy on and off the pitch. We negotiated seriously with him and fulfilled all of his wishes. But it looks like he may want to do something new at the end of his career. We've never had any contact with Liverpool..."

A player we were heavily interested in all the way back in 2013, but He Who Must Not Be Named opted for Fellaini instead. It looks like this will be his last season at Bayern according to Rummenigge.

Should we be in for him? He’s entering the final year of his contract and we need depth in midfield as well. He is top quality and would instantly start for us imo. The Liverpool rumours seem to be BS as well.

Currently the best midfielder in the world if we get him. Massively overrated and wouldn't hack the prem if we don't. I have never seen him play.

He's won 9 league titles and the CL.

I hope he sees the irony of having genius in his username.

Ffs had liquid genius filtered for his cancerous comments but the reply feature means I still have to read them. Honestly everyone should block this guy

I don't think he even knows when he's wumming

Top player but always wary of buying from Bayern.

He’s only played 30 league games once in his career and although his injury record has improved he is 29 years old.

I’d stay clear.

Great player, don’t see how he fits in this current united side though.

Would actually be a great signing for Barca, but they just got Pjanic

So a last ditch move to Liverpool is good then?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Not Liverpool because Klopp’s style doesn’t suit a skilful, diminutive CM - and Liverpool isn’t a big market.

I’d go Arsenal or Chelsea.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Arsenal is a tin pot club. Big clubs win the Champions League.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry but Liverpool doesn't compare to The Great Smog, and you know that.

It would be like comparing the New York Knicks to the Milwaukee Bucks.

Short term contract would be okay but Ed has a habit of letting players see out their playing days with a nice long, bumper contract and that needs to stop.

Thiago is the type of signing that United have made massive mistakes with in the past.

Since ole has come in your transfer policy has changed to stay well clear of this type of player so I’d be massively surprised if United were in for him, particularly having just signed Fernandes.

It would be a risk but I think in theory a 3 of Thiago, Bruno and Pogba could work. Thiago likes to dictate play from deep doesn’t he and defensively he’s ok, would need the other 2 to put in a shift but they’re capable of that. Lovely player.

He’s 29 lol.

He’s piiiised his career up the wall. I remember when he was the next big CM.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I get the whole wumming thing but I sense a serious comment here. Are you joking?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Not kidding.

I figured he was still 25 or something.

His career has flashed before our eyes and he’s amounted to virtually nothing compared to the initial expectation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That flash is caused by light reflecting on his trophy laden career, it's physics mate.

i cannot believe anyone is disputing how great alcantara has been

but i guess some people only only acknowledge what is happening in front of them.

my posting history will show how much I rate pogba but alcantara is better in literally everything (not just application) and maybe the only cm I can say that about
