You're getting good at this Photoshop lark, Olly.
Good point. I have taken it into consideration and updated it.Surely the Thiagometer should be ThiaGO - ThiaSTAY.
Thanks Ne...You're getting good at this Photoshop lark, Olly.
Piss off!Although, if we're being pedantic, that's last years shirt, Oliver.
Yep, one of the few people in the thread who didn't rock themselves to sleep tonight after having a cry-wank is throwing a tantrum. Good one.Just popping in before bed. Seems I missed a photo-related dip, which is good, and get to enjoy another bit of genius from Olly, which is better. Bravo!
But best of all is TN. Comfortably the most entertaining thing in this thread. I've seen toddlers in supermarkets having tantrums that are less attention-seeking and more useful.
bad case of muppetitis, did the doctor say he could cure it? Or will it be chronic? I heard it's like Hayfeaver, once you catch the virus you get it most summers.I enjoy muppeting but I've just seen that I have 119 posts in this thread. That's unhealthy. I even took a sick day yesterday. I convinced myself that I felt really poorly but deep down inside I knew it was because I didn't want anything to district me from this thread. I need an intervention.

nice one Olly! I think I like this one more, if Thiago had a United shirt on.Old version...
How will he fit into our current team?
Quality!CM, between Carrick and Webb.
Is he similar to Carrick's or scholesy's type of CM? Or is he another Kagawa? I've never seen him play or heard much about him before.

So what you're saying is that it's on?Just a theory but I get a feeling that Barcelona wants to dispose him off and get the money to sign Thiago Silva.
They've already signed Neymar for a ridiculous amount and if they want to sign a top class center back and a goalkeeper, then that going to take another 40m Pounds at least.
If they were so keen for Thiago to stay, then surely they would've played him enough times in order to ensure that his clause didn't drop down to 18m Euros. After all they did won the league quite early and could've easily given him enough minutes. I certainly don't buy the crap that Tito came out i.e he didn't knew the terms of Thiago's contract. I think for a big club like Barcelona that's nearly impossible.
Could be wrong but if they rated him so highly then surely they would've offered him a new contract and promise of regular place much earlier rather than giving him these promises and new contract when Thiago's agents have the upper hand.

@ManutdRedCafe, pretty sure he works for United in some capacity. Think clerical work. He has just under 40,000 followers, he doesn't tend to get wrapped up in transfer tweets and tends to be vague.
He is a lost cause - I am finding a new lost cause

I did a while agoNice one, update is needed!
Very interesting train of thought Karan. I guess £18m might not be much but its a start and they surely will have some money to spend of their own. ter Stegen still on the cards for them? Silva will also cost a boatload of money. They are selling Villa as well. So add another £10m. I still think they might convince Valdes to stay just another year unless they can recoup some more money to buy someone long term.Just a theory but I get a feeling that Barcelona wants to dispose him off and get the money to sign Thiago Silva.

If Manchester United can complete the signing of Barcelona’s Thiago Alcantara they will have captured one of European football’s most cavalier young talents – a free spirit whose penchant for trying the unexpected has attracted the interest of United, but also helped persuade Barça to let him go.
It now looks like their decision to set his buyout clause as low as £15m will go down as one of the gaffes of the summer – Barcelona could have raised considerably more after he starred in Spain Under-21s European Championship triumph this month. But the bargain price hints at a nagging doubt shared by certain members of the club’s technical staff, who believe he gives the ball away too much and is slow to win it back. They say he is an anarchist on the pitch.
