Why do people get so surprised that there pages of discussion without any new developments? This isn't a news page, it's a forum, if you're coming here looking for the latest factual news you'll be disappointed. The "I just sifted through 12 pages of this thread and learned nothing" posters are getting tiresome. And this place isn't for learning or improve one's understanding of the current transfer market landscape, it's a tipping site for conjecture and speculation. Deal with it. :cool:

:lol: That should be the transfer forum's tagline - "The home of conjecture, speculation, and imminent ejaculation"
 
Literally just work up, first thing one done was type Thiago Al.. into google to see the latest news, saw Daily Mail and 5 year contract and literally did the biggest gay jig of my life. Now time to trawl back through this thread and see what I've missed and whether Jakes posted any more Gifs.

Tiago Al?!

Bloody hell, Moyes, that's not the guy!
 
From the Mail:

Manchester United are on the verge of signing Barcelona midfield star Thiago Alcantara in a £17million deal.

The Premier League champions have stolen a march on rivals Manchester City by agreeing personal terms of £5m-a-year with Thiago, 22, and his father Mazinho.

It seems we're getting his dad too.
 
I've just thought of another key factor as to why we are going to sign him.


Mentality and personality. it's one of the key factors we assess and he seems perfect. A winning mentality that doesn't shy from pressure and a level headed chap. He also comes across much like RVP in interviews, thoughtful and classy.

Thats 2 factors.

:lol: I've just reread this now I've had a second to wake and it seems my arithmetic is in serious question.
 
Swooshboy beat me to its dammit :lol:
 
Not you too Raees, ffs who is still sane in this bloody forum ?


Can't help it, I've been whingeing about midfielders since I first joined this site and the fact we're close to signing potentially the best one of the lot... a sort of Pirlo with electric pace, it brings out the Munain in me.

Think KingEric said it best when he said "This is potentially the biggest cock out signing of all time". Aside from Cristiano Ronaldo... I don't think we've signed anyone as exciting in the Premiership Era if this does indeed go through. First time also that it would be a muppet fantasy that actually comes to fruition after many failures. But lets not get our hopes up.. still can't believe this could be happening.
 
Ios7 has killed my phone. My fingers now go faster than it types and the screen doesn't follow the text :( mistakes are inevitable.

Fair enough - although would be kinda creepy if the typing went faster than your fingers! Maybe thats a feature for iOS 8!
 
:lol:

Soon you'll become Superbo no doubt. But after seeing Man of Steel, maybe it isn't a compliment.

It's all happening at the wrong time for me, I'm in work all day today and it's my girlfriends birthday so I'll probably be told "stay off that bloody place for just one day". I've tired explaining the transfer saga and getting her involved but she didn't enjoy being on twitter watch (pressing F5 on a Thiago search) no matter how well I managed to relate it to reality television.

Give in to your inner muppet and get her a Kermit styled outfit. Don't show her Jake's gif and you should be all set :devil:
 
David sign him up, David, David sign him up!
 
"Thiago wants to sign, club to player all good. Club to club may need work".

Graham Hunter said the above in a convo, can someone tell me why club to club may need to work? Er release clause...

Barcelona might want us to pay taxes etc. or insert a buy-back clause (they can feck off, we're not bloody Sevilla or Liverpool), so it could take a day or two. Overall they are helpless and must sell if Thiago wants to leave and we are prepared to pay what it needs.
 
Is this actually happening or are people just getting excited. Would be humorous if Barcelona have accidentally let this one slip through.

Seems like it's really happening, lots of hints from semi-reliable journalists and even the Telegraph reporting it now while the Spanish press reckons we've already agreed terms with the player.
