Injuries could happen, no doubt about it. So maybe Thiago sneaks in a few minutes here and there. I don't think anyone disputes the strong likelihood he would make the team and get his medal, but the question on the table is whether going to United increases or decreases his chances of starting for Spain -- in a meaningful game -- in 2016. Whatever his decision, he's not going to start for Spain unless there's an epidemic of injuries in the Spanish midfield. It's impossible to imagine Del Bosque sitting down Iniesta, Xavi or Fabregas in favor of Alcantara. Cold-blooded logic may dictate it when they get there, that would be like benching Dwayne Wade because Norris Cole is in sensational form -- it just doesn't happen. I don't pass judgment on Del Bosque, but I don't see him as a manager who would bench Iniesta and start Alcantara in a semifinal game short of serious injury. No doubt he'd be happy to throw Thiago a bone in a meaningless last match in the group stages, but that's about it.

Del Bosque won't be in 2016, he's like 200 years old. And yes, if he is their manager by 2016, their midfield will consist of Busquets, Alonso, Xavi and Iniesta. But hopefully he won't be and we again will see Spain playing beautiful football (not just winning).
 
What makes people think he's so different from other player that if Barcelona offer him enough money and promise him that he'll definitely get more games next year, he won't stay though?

And it's amazing how it went from some sources saying he's definitely signed to this today
 
Spanish player using United speculation to get a better contract. Has happened before.
I wonder if United were even trying to get him.

These are shit news. Although it's just a photo, why did they made it if Thiago is leaving?! :nervous:
 
So a picture of them together smiling somehow proves that Thiago is staying? How exactly?
 
I don't think we'll get him but a photo doesn't prove anything.
 
Is that photo on the main Barcelona facebook page then?

They were clearly so happy they decided to take a photo so they'd never forget the moment.

Exactly. They wouldn't bother if things didn't go to plan.

Perhaps that's because this was the moment they let Rosell now that Thiago is leaving and they wanted this last picture to celebrate his several years at Barcelona that has come to end?

Hell, I got a picture with Rosell from January, we're both smiling, I must be signing for Barcelona then.
 
Or it could be that the guy in the middle asked them to make the photo. Countless possibilities.
 
I would love to know how this pic landed in the tweeters lap.

That's nothing - I was walking the dog outside Stamford Bridge, and Roman offered me the manager's job.
 
:lol: This would reach Ozil, Benzema and Sneijder levels of disappointment if it doesn't go through now, looked nailed on last night.

You get more joy from 'disappointment' or so called then anyone on the internet. You're a city fan. I've never seen you make one positive post.
 
Or it could be that his Dad/Agent had to speak to Rosell to try to work out an agreement over this release clause to clear him a move to us.

And you call yourselves muppets?
 
Or it could be that Mazinho was an established player himself and has another son in Barcelona's squad.

But yeah Thiago is off.
