What's the point of you muppets if you can't win even the twitter wars?
 
I'm not sure if its been posted yet since I'm a bit behind on the muppetry, but tancredi palmers tweeted this today.

"@tancredipalmeri: Still not definitely confirmed, but I'm having many signals that Barcelona try to convince Thiago Alcantara to stay has been unsuccessful"

Is tancredipalmer a reliable source? I don't trust anyone on twitter.

I asked that question a month or so ago, he's not too bad. Always puts a source on his tweets and very rarely says "my sources tell me...", so the thiago one is kind of different from the trend. He's very annoying on twitter though because of his countless retweets, and he will tweet anything as long as he can find any type of source, even the most bull shit ones.

I agree. I check his timeline every now and then but I do not follow him anymore. Once he started "tancredi time", I had enough. If I remember correctly, he called the Monaco moves early. Although, I am basing that purely on what I saw in the Transfer twitter thread. I was not using twitter at the time.
 
He seems reliable. When he calls something he really believes - it generally happens.

If its just speculation and a rumour he has heard then he makes that very clear.

If you can get passed his ego he is a decent person to follow.
 
I need a new quote or something from an ITK to keep hope alive...

​
AND COULD BE GUNDOGAN​

The Blaugrana board spokesman Toni Freixa, claimed just 48 hours ago that no club has approached the club to open negotiations for a possible transfer of Thiago Alcantara. Similarly, the manager stated that the player had not officially shown their interest in leaving the club discipline. Statements that do not correspond to the movements detected by the sporting club.And in the FC Barcelona are convinced that it is only a matter of days to notify agents Thiago and intention to leave the club to make the jump to another club. More specifically, at Manchester United.
Zubizarreta and his team give up as lost to hispanobrasileño, although more than one remembers that the player has a more than enough to change your mind at any time. However, this perception of information derived solvents that are used in the Premier have reopened the debate on the need to find a replacement guarantee or use the quarry and go for young players Sergi Roberto profile.
The technicians seem to have changed their minds. For weeks, club sources indicated that, regardless of possible outputs in the summer market, as the case of Thiago, Tito Vilanova the idea was to keep the current block and reinforced only just. That is, players like Sergi Roberto have their opportunity to consolidate in the first team. Now you do not. These same sources are choosing the option of tracking an interesting market because it offers many top players at prices not exorbitant.
In the club remember that since last January, the club drew up an ambitious plan in which reinforcements and Vilanova Zubizarreta betting on three lines to follow: Neymar, already tied, Thiago Silva, under negotiation but very complicated, and versatile midfielder, which could range from the figure of Isco-new player of Real Madrid Ilkay Gundogan, a footballer terrain of enormous journey on the pitch and the price until a couple of months had not shot in excess.
The most probable place of Thiago in the next few days has made ​​blaugrana retrain technicians.Tito tried to stop the stampede after the season, but his talk with the player has not yielded the expected results. The player insists its progression takes you away from Camp Nou and the hole left in the template seems to still not be mitigated by the emerging values ​​of the quarry.
Toca shopping and analyze the multiple deals on offer. Gundogan is the first in the list, accumulating suitors Borussia Dortmund and a stubbornly to hold the rest of his figures. The operation is sensed not easy, but you need to see the position of the player.

From Sport

Slightly confusing translation.
 
Something more confusing in As about Thiago's Dad's restaurant transferring the name being a clue to the transfer or something odd! jojojo?
 
Apparently Sky Sports News are talking about him and suggesting something might happen tomorrow? They might just be talking about the rumors though.
 
Key points.

  • Freixa claimed that no other club has spoken to Barcelona about a transfer for Thiago
  • Thiago has not indicated a desire to leave the club to the staff (presumably this has come from Freixa)
  • Basically the above is a load of bollocks, and staff know that it's only a matter of days before Thiago tells them he's coming to United
  • Sergi Roberto will get promoted to fill in for the squad
  • Originally it was the plan of Vilanova to augment the squad with products from La Masia, but developments in the market have revealed suitable targets at not-too-exorbitant prices
  • In January, Tito and Zubizarreta drew up a plan for three reinforcements. One was Neymar, another is Thiago Silva and aother one is a versatile midfielder (Gundogan), as the hole left by Thiago may be too big to be filled by La Masia.
 
Barça's instagram account just posted a cropped image (Cutting out Thiago) of the key players in the new kits. Can't be a coincidence

Hehe, it's just like a dumped girlfriend, tears streaming, ripping her photographs down the middle to remove the image of her cheating ex from her life.
 
Is that Zlatan's hand on Piqué's hip?

All the (non)signs are pointing in the right direction. :)
 
Can someone cut out Messi and Iniesta as well?

They can keep Pique and Puyol.

They're saying he's selling the restaurant he owns, perhaps because he won't be living in Barcelona any more. Maybe.

A fair description. He says if he doesn't get fit again soon, he's retiring.

That's quite a boost for Barcelona then :(

You see, if you never said it then I'd never have noticed it, how do people notice the smallest details? Or is it just that I'm a really nice person who doesn't notice these things? :D

You are a nice person Relevated, but that's a fecking humongous nose. I wonder what all he uses it for.

It just seems like they centered the image. Puyol is only 80% in. Does that mean he's only 80% sure of staying?

They've centered it so its all in proportion, otherwise it wouldn't look right. I've used Photoshop for 7 odd years, it's done to make it look right. Half of pique was cropped due to thiago so they had to crop half of puyol to make it look right
 
His nose looks no bigger than Pique's, I must be missing something.
 
Not trying to be a killjoy but Instagram can't really handle wider images like the original without cropping them down. I've just opened the original image on Instagram and it seems impossible to get all the players in and you either have to crop Puyol out or Thiago.

There are ways and means. The way and mean chosen is telling.
