Thiago Alcantara | Signed for Bayern Munich

[Stack]

You learn lots of good slurs here on the caf. Before I started reading I'd never heard 'thundercnut' before.

Probably not a new one but I only just heard of "Gunt" which is a gut over a cnut.

Aaaaaa for the days of the gaytard smiley.

[Olly Gunnar Solskjær]

An "ITK" has turned up on the Barca forums. I'm glad we don't have to put up with that.

 

[Revan]

Yep, seen him. He apparently has a 'sauce' in inner circle of EPL and is saying that Thiago to us is a done deal, while Higuain has signed a 4 year contract with Gunners. I call it bullshit.

46 minutes without a post . Tch tch.

 

[ghaliboy]

So without reading through the guff there is likely nil chance of us signing him but everyone is in a frenzy?
Latest is the muppets think he's going to sign but in truth there is feck all chance..?

About right?

Not really, I think there's about a 40% chance of us signing him.

 

[ghaliboy]

Fair enough, thanks.

According to everything there is every chance that we are going to sign him.

Woah woah woah! What happened? How exactly did it drop so low to 40%?

 

[JakeC]

Woah woah woah! What happened? How exactly did it drop so low to 40%?

Nothing.

 

[Everest Red]

Woah woah woah! What happened? How exactly did it drop so low to 40%?

45% according to transfermarkt.

 

[December_16]

Woah woah woah! What happened? How exactly did it drop so low to 40%?

It drops every day we haven't sign him, don't you know?

 

[SATA]

I love Mondays. Let's make it happen today

 

[bosnian_red]

Not really, I think there's about a 40% chance of us signing him.

Probably closer to 70% that we're going to sign him, if not more. Will more than likely happen this week as well, unless we're waiting for moyes to come here first on July 1st. All the signs point towards him signing for us soon though.

 

[Ruud10]

Let me check into this first in the morning. I'll let you guys know what's really going on.













Just kidding! Where did white text go?

 

[Wibble]

True but we are only 50% of that.

I have it on good faith that the transfer is agreed to by all parties; to be announced officially by the club along with the Strootman deal at 11am tomorrow. Garay is very close to signing with Benfica accepting a £15m bid, but not quite agreed personal terms yet.

[ciderman9000000]

It's genuine information. The reason for there not being an announcement today is that the club want to reveal Garay along with the other two; by tomorrow that could be a possibility, but if not they'll announce Strootman and Thiago anyway. United are confident that Madrid will eventually accept £50m for Ronaldo since the player is desperate to come here, but that's a long way off yet. There's no intention to move for Bale regardless as Spurs are demanding £80m.

For that price that would be a steal...

Of this doesn't happen, Cider will call you all bellend Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime for believing something on the Internet.

I'll streak naked and post the video online if we announce all three tomorrow.

Why has pex transformed into twat?

I prefer Ciderman's update.

There are comments in all the papers suggesting that Thiago is still thinking about giving the club another chance. With a one liner in Marca's transfer minute by minute saying that Barca sources think he's still more in Barca than out of it, but with United as best placed if he does leave.

This idea has been met with some incredulity by Sport - basically, you don't give Barcelona chances to talk you out of moving, they give you an opportunity. In this case: Catalunya Vs England. Tiki taka with Xavi/Iniesta Vs long balls flying over your head and Tito Vs Moyes.

While Mundo Deportivo says he should stop looking for guarantees and start training harder and playing better.

Incidentally Barcelona are apparently contemplating a move for Rooney - so I guess he may have the same set of choices offered.

You're not wrong. I just wanted to cover myself publicly.

Why has pex transformed into twat?

For an inspired act of brilliance and no other reason.

Thiago Alcantara calls a meeting to say that it will

Tito Vilanova will want to role on the team, but they must divide the cake between Xavi, Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas. The player wants to leave the entity Barca.

While most of the champions of European Under-21 are scattered along the coast enjoying a well deserved vacation thinking off, Thiago Alcantara head is spinning.The United he wants it or yes to lead the touch of the first draft of David Moyes at Old Trafford and Barcelona believe much in it to be one of the cornerstones of the future in the Barca game.
Mazinho returned Friday to Barcelona with the Manchester team's proposal under the arm. Seems irresistible. So much so that, coupled with the desire of the player to have many more minutes to suck to be quoted by Vicente del Bosque for next summer's finals in Brazil, make the combination of the equation seems to have a simple result: payment of clause (18 million plus VAT) from United to release Thiago of his current contract with the club.
Sandro Rosell, Barcelona president, not with arms crossed. Sure. In constant contact with his trusted (Bartomeu and Zubizarreta) try to chart a new strategy for the player to change his mind. They know it's complicated. Thiago is so stubborn in their decisions, as sincere in his statements. Still, the idea is to re-explain what is the issue in order to have minutes. Tito Vilanova will want to role on the team, but they must divide the cake between Xavi, Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas.
Money. It's another reason why Thiago can move to England. Besides promised playing time, the midfielder would enter a good sum of money, so that would make Thiago would become one of the highest paid footballers set Moyes, who has absolute confidence in the Barcelona squad game.
The coming days will be key for the future of Thiago, every day, seems to be further away from the Camp Nou.

The first option was Fàbregas
Although Thiago is a player who now seems vital for the United (also for Barca), from Old Trafford had Fabregas first choice. The insistent messages launched by the Catalan from Brazil, where it is concentrated with the selection, made apparently deterred technicians United, that when they learned that the starting price could go from Thiago 90-18000000 did not hesitate for an instant, so that the U-21 won integers.

That article is written by a twat. Hollier than thou nonsense.

normally one can't bet their house about these things. but if you are not being a WUM here and you think the london office sources are fairly credible, you have made my day :-)
I don't really want Garay, but if we are signing two CMs, then, in Moyes we trust!!

Wouldn't begrudge the boy for deciding to stay at Barça.

I'm confused. Isn't he off for holiday? Wouldn't he already have made his decision then. Doesn't line up with Graham Hunter's story.

I would. I will also hate my life and this world if this transfer does not work out!!

That article basically suggests Barcelona think that Thiago is more likely to leave than stay with us looking like the most likely destination, and that Barcelona will be looking to take advantages of the players departing from the teams changing managers (namely Rooney).

What a shite article. We are Man United, not fecking Stoke. Carrick, Kagawa, Cleverley, Rooney and Van Persie. Not the first names that come to mind when you think of long ball football.
