Thiago's likeliest destination is United. United have been making personality background checks about him. If nothing changes, he's gonna sign for us.

Get in there!
Please be right Hunter! if not, the Caf WILL kill you.
This is the thing that i really love about our transfers these days
We might still get it wrong occasionally but its great that there is some focus on this.This Hunter chap is alright.
And cocks back out.
It's on!
He really is isnt he? Who says there will be "nothing changing"? But hey, any reason to pull my giant out again.
I will believe it when I see it. Barca are hustlers and they do it better than anyone else
a semi...
Cocks out lads. I didn't listen to the video, but I'll listen to any good thing that's said on here like a true muppet would.
You all know Barcelona will convince him to stay over the weekend, right?
I thought we'd have done this 'personality background check' way long before the talk about wages happened.This is the thing that i really love about our transfers these days
Would be better to do so right at the very beggining, we have apparently been interested for a couple years, yet we're only checking his personality traits now?
Sorry to say, I call bullshit.
Not many hours left until the sunday gossip are out.
I think we are deep into Fergie time,anything can happen.

I guess it depends on what they can possibly offer him that will make him stay. Thiago's desire to leave to benefit his immediate short term future (the 13/14 season) and the release clause really puts them on the back foot. Just gotta hope our boys can persuade him we are his best option. If he wants to play 30+ league games - injury permitting - then it's United, no questions. He doesn't sound like he wants to be patient any longer, alot like how Pogba felt I guess. We reassured him he was the future, but he wanted it right away. Difference being, Pogba was a bit of a butthole, and Thiago seems like a good egg.
I don't know what will be more satisfying, when we actually sign him. The fact we got one of the most promising youngsters out there or the fact that we more or less robbed him from Barcelona
Even if he does sign, how likely is it that he'll rejoin them when the time is right?
If he's successful with us, and we're continuing to do well, I'd say it's highely unlikely.
there you go looking for a positive.......
I don't mind us putting an option in for them to have first chance if we wanted to sell, but not with a buyout clause. If we sell it will be on our terms.
He doesn't seem as emotionally attached to Barca as alot of their academy graduates. His own words said something along the lines of that he'd be lying if he wants to be a success at Barca. He wants to be a success in football. I think he's very open to moving away and being a success elsewhere, but I'm just guessing based on what he has said.
Can't tell if serious or not. I remember mentioning this way back when we were first linked with him, and quite a few others have said it as well.
Posted at the end of May:
Some posters ridiculed me for it, though. Saying something along the lines of it being a "myth" that La Masia graduates would hanker for a return if the opportunity arose. I also think that those posters are mental patients.
And bring DDG with him.

I'd say that optimistic but you could be right, Fabregas was seriously underachieving so it differs from his transfer back.
Kagawa and Thiago together *drool*
Where did the latest from Hunter come from?
If he wins us a few league titles and a few CL's he can go with my blessing. He has to get here first.
Really? Never knew that. Strange thing to say, I wouldnt be happy if Welbeck said something similar for example.
He's 22 and will have forced himself out the club at a cut price (if he does sign for us), I don't think it's something we have to be majorly concerned about, even if it is a possibility... He may have burnt his bridges, and even if he does end up giving us 5 years and then we have to sell him back for a profit, it's hardly the end of the world.
He was on TalkSport half an hour ago.
If he wins us a few trophies, and Barcelona at least triple our outlay to bring him back, then I wouldn't be too distraught if he wanted to return in 5 years time or so.
I think if we do sign him he's almost certainly going to move on to a different club again. I don't think he's a guy who likes to stay at 1 club for particularly long and he has no reason to really care about our history. But who cares? 3-4 years of a potentially world class midfielder is still a good thing.
TalkSport, tonight
Cheers.
He's been at Barca all his career.
