Mmm.
Thiago was very impressive the other night. In fact, pretty much the whole side were, Sanchez, Fabregas, and ofcourse Messi. As for the Wilshere comparison.. he is equally as talented. I think the performances of Nasri at the weekend and Cesc also have shown just how much easier it is for them to perform when playing alongside players of equal ability. If you took Thiago Alcantara out of the Barcelona midfield set-up and stuck him in the Arsenal one, alongside the likes of Rosicky and Arshavin, then he wouldn't look half the player he does at Barca. Believe me, Wilshere is everybit as talented as Alcantara. Thats a fact. |

He plays the same position as Xavi, and we don't miss Xavi when he's not on the field. Xavi 3rd best in the world. Ok Xavi is better, but Thiago IMO could well be in the top 20 for fifa best player award this year. |

Please stop going completely off topic with nonsense. I live under 100km from Barcelona, since about 15 years ago. You live in Ireland? Dont see your connection with the team... |

Disgraceful that he isn't on the anytime scorer options tonight.

So, Thiago ruled out of Olympics through injury...Spain struggle.
No coincidence pals. |
|
By:
No Thiago, no medal.
|
|
By:
Would've also helped if they had a striker who could finish
|
|
By:
True, although I rate Adrián.
Don't think the trio of Koke, Martínez and Isco worked - Ander and Thiago together ahead of Javi M looked much more suited last summer. Thiago was the key player back then so it's no surprise that even the likes of Neymar have been saying about what a loss he is to the tournament. |
|
By:
I can't work out why Spain didn't pick a striker like Llorente or Soldado as an overage player, seemed to be the only area of the side they're lacking in. Soldado didn't even go to the Euro's so he'd have surely been up for it
Agree that Thiago is a huge loss though. |
|
By:
Not that I agree completely with the reasoning, but they decided to "reward" Martínez, Mata and Adrián with places as the over-23 players because they helped Spain to qualify for the Olympics (through winning last years u21 Euros)

Sublime last night. If only Cesc was as good.

Can someone please hand me a rope? My favourite player moving to my most hated team. What a ****g combination.
**** Tito Vilanova, worst decision Barcelona have made in decades is favouring Cesc. |

I know we r favourites and want him but didn't know anything had changed. Be happy with him this season and Ronaldo next. Might improve our midfield a touch!

By:
Not confirmed yet but rumours are growing every day. Plus, De Gea signed the match ball Thiago got for his hat-trick with 'See you in Manchester' (in Spanish, of course)
Enjoy, you've got a star. ![]() |

Happy to be wrong about him going to Man Utd.
![]() Devastated that he's going to Bayern Munich ![]() Steal of the summer. |

By:
Unless he completely lied about wanting to leave Barca because of a lack of games, then i can't help but feel Thiago has been badly advised here.
Where does he fit into their side? |

By:
You mean with Ribery, Martinez, Robben, Shaqiri, Gotze, Gustavo, Schweinsteiger, Muller, Emre Can and Kroos?
Have you never heard of the 0-11-0 formation???!!! |
